At a casino bingo hall in southwestern Colorado, Lauren Boebert, a Republican congresswoman, bounced her 6-month-old grandson on her knee.
āThe electionās still a ways away,ā she said as the guests arriving for the Montezuma County Republican Partyās annual Lincoln Day dinner trickled into the room. āAnd in talking with people at events like this, you know, it seems like thereās a lot of mercy and a lot of grace.ā
The month before, Boebert, then in the midst of finalizing a divorce, was caught on a security camera vaping and groping her date shortly before being ejected from a performance of the musical āBeetlejuiceā at the Buell Theater in Denver for causing a disturbance. The footage contradicted her own initial claims about the incident, and the venueās statement that Boebert had demanded preferential treatment added to the outrage.
Ok, first of all, for someone who complains that the phrase should be used appropriately, you donāt use it appropriately at all, in either this case or in that other āunimaginativeā reply under this post, while the person youāre trying to call out about it actually did use it appropriately.
Meanwhile, donāt act stupid and pretend that articles from major news sources havenāt started using that phrase as a narrative device in regards to Republican nonsense in general. I donāt have to point you to it, itās out there.
Beo give me an example of these * * checks notes* * news articles using āchecks notes,ā and a blog post wonāt cut it.
Well oh well, look whoās walking in my shoes!
No.
