Congresswoman who attracts this much upset from Democrats must be doing something right

 Washington Examiner:

Rep. Lauren Boebert may soon replace Georgia congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene as Democrats’ most hated and demonized House Republican.

With the dust settling on the Greene controversy after Democrats stripped her of committee assignments over her past statements in support of conspiracy theories, it is the gun-toting, high heels-wearing, Beto O’Rourke-confronting Colorado congresswoman who is drawing a steady wave of Democratic critics.

A major sign of Boebert’s power: There are already seven Democrats who have filed paperwork to challenge her in 2022 — a high number unusual for a normal House Democratic primary in any year, but especially this early in the election cycle.

It is a sign of not only how big of a villain she is for Democrats but also of her messaging power.

“Not all of them are equally serious, not all of them will make it to the starting line,” Colorado-based independent political analyst Eric Sondermann said of the candidates. “But it's telling, obviously, that there is both a hunger out there to defeat Boebert as much as she is a magnet for that attracts a certain segment of Republicans.”

LAUREN BOEBERT REBUKES DEMOCRAT WHO SUGGESTED SHE GAVE TOUR TO RIOTERS BEFORE CAPITOL BREACH

Boebert, who had no previous political experience, defeated five-term Republican Rep. Scott Tipton in a major upset primary last year, becoming almost an instant Republican mirror of Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Her political provocation style combined with an unconventional, for Congress, past and minor run-ins with the law provide ample material for Democrats to chime in on and criticize.

A video of Boebert saying that she plans to carry a gun to Capitol Hill led to outrage from Democrats and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi erecting metal detectors outside the House floor to ensure no members brought a gun to the floor while they voted.

Most recently, Boebert prompted criticism from Democrats for displaying guns on a shelf in the background of her camera shot during a virtual committee meeting this week.

There is more.

Boebert has been outspoken as well as gun-toting.   I like her criticism of Democrats and their leaders.

Pelosi's reaction to her suggests she fears she might be shot based simply on the fact that Boebert believes in concealed carry.  It should be noted that criminals who carry guns and plan to use them for crime hardly ever get a concealed carry permit.
