Of course, the Democrats have their embarrassing Congresspeople too. These include AOC, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, and if you want to go to the much older generation, Maxine Waters.
The difference is that the insane Congresspeople on the right have a ton of same-party detractors like me who wish they'd go away, whereas the insane/extreme Democrats are considered heroes, and possibly the future of the party.
I wasn't at all disappointed to see Boebert disgracing herself because that will hasten her disappearance. In general, I don't understand why people would elect these youngsters to Congress or Senate, as they lack the maturity and life experience to govern properly. Boebert was only 33 when elected in 2020.
It baffles me that she did these things in the theater, given her public position, notoriety, and controversial nature. Tons of people are just waiting for a reason to take her down, and she handed it to them on a silver platter.
I'll admit that I've squeezed tits and gotten hand jobs in movie theaters before, but these were dark, mostly empty movie theaters, not crowded live theaters. But I've never run for Congress nor held any kind of other high profile position in society. Pretty dumb.
