'I need to lie down': Boebert astonishes as she helps Dems torpedo GOP bill
Source: Raw Story · Bias: Far Left
Summary
House Republicans suffered a massive headache on Tuesday evening as far-right Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) joined forces with Democrats to sink a House rule that would get the annual farm bill passed."I filed multiple non controversial amendments to the Farm Bill to help rural Coloradans," Boebert posted to X. "@RepJoeNeguse asked the Rules Committee to consider them on the House floor. The Republicans on the committee unanimously voted against them and they will not even be considered for a floor vote.""Farmers and ranchers in my district are counting on me to be their voice in DC and our 'leadership' is not letting me do my job," Boebert added. "I am a NO on the Rule."The plot twist in the whip count drew immediate reaction from political observers."Boebert says she’s a NO on the rule after her amendment — offered by a Democrat — was voted down by *Republicans* on the Rules Committee," wrote Cami Mondeaux of Deseret News. "Things are getting very weird.""This rule looks dead on the floor — if the leadership could ever get it there," wrote Punchbowl News' Jake Sherman."Lauren Boebert is praising Democrats on the Rules Committee and I am going to need to lie down," wrote The Independent's Eric Michael Garcia.
