"Why are White House officials...meeting with Rep. Boebert In the Situation Room"

Interesting to say the least




Katie Phang ‪@katiephang.bsky.social‬
“In the Situation Room”?!

Highly restricted access and no cell phones allowed.

White House officials needed to meet with Lauren Boebert in the room where highly sensitive National Security issues are handled? To talk about the Epstein Files?!

Q: "Why are White House officials…meeting with Rep. Boebert in an effort to try to get her to not sign this petition calling for the release of the [Epstein] files?"

Leavitt: "I'm not going to detail conversations that took place in the situation room."

That said most hurricanes were named after women in the past.
Thanks tavernier - have a nice day

It appears it was before Grijalva was sworn in. Neither Boebert nor Mace removed their signatures and it is now too late to do so. A floor vote must now happen in the House, though it will apparently be a couple of weeks until it happens.

This is what she does for everyone to see.

We can only imagine what she does in private.

And her grown kids are wild.

I am sure Trump had quite a few tidbits to threaten her with.

Trump has some stuff on her for sure.
And her kids.

And he was willing to pay her as well.

Not like Boebert to turn down a good deal.

But I can't help wondering whether Republicans will ever take the sexual abuse of girls as seriously as they take the sexual abuse of boys.
