Colorado Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (Q-Rifle) appeared on a webcast for Mar-a-Lago member Gina Loudon, claiming falsely that current mask mandates contradict science. First, Boebert brags that she doesn’t wear a mask on the floor of the House, saying that the requirement to wear a mask violates science. (In fact, with fewer than 50% of Republicans in the House saying they haven’t gotten vaccinated yet, it exactly follows the science.)
Then Boebert makes an astoundingly false claim: “Since removing the mask mandate two months ago, Texas has not reported a single COVID death. Not one.”
Weeellllllllllllll, that’s a lie. Texas lifted its mask mandate March 2nd. Since then, 6,827 people have died in the state from coronavirus, according to worldometers. And 256,885 new infections have been reported.
Why Boebert insists on lying about easily verifiable information remains baffling.
