U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert immediately discarded a pin honoring one of the victims of the Uvalde mass shooting after activists handed the memento to her in the halls of the Capitol on Tuesday.

She needs to be thrown in the trash.

Allow me to remind everyone that Uvalde, TX overwhelmingly voted for R in 2022 election.

Hopefully that doesn't last for long. A LOT of attitudes changed overnight in Uvalde after the shooting happened. I've never seen a community turn on their police force with such unity before. I really hope they carry that momentum to the ballot boxes.

They won't because voting isn't done with your head. They'll just vote for another "tough on crime" Republican and kick out the old police chief.

It's worse than that.

I'm sincerely sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but they've already proven they want the same leadership that was in place that day.

The sheer number of R voters who would vote for satan himself as long as there wasn't a D next to his name astounds me.

Boebert is a fucking disgrace.

Oh shit it almost looks like she threw it away BECAUSE they said "we hope you take action on gun violence protection"

I don't necessarily think that's what happened because she was sort of headed towards the trash cans anyway. Regardless it is disgusting and really speaks volumes that she doesn't care, for Republican politicians there is no press bad enough. She is just that heartless.

How hard it is for her and her ilk to be nice. They can't even fake it in public. Hope she gets voted out next election. JFO, Babs!

I'm not surprised that Boebert would be very used to interacting with (other) trash
