“Sandy Cortez {Democratic New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez] tweeting at me but she hasn’t taken up my offer to actually meet and work together and of course we saw Beto acting like a total jerk and tried to use the death of these children as a prop to advance his political candidacy,” The Rube from Rifle, Mean Girl Lauren Boebert claims. “When 9/11 happened, we didn’t ban planes. We secured the cockpits.”
Let’s go over some things: She doesn’t know what a prop is. Beto was holding the Texas state officials accountable when they refused to take questions from the media or the public. But most importantly, “we” didn’t just reinforce cockpits after 9/11: we prevented some people from flying with a “No Fly” list. We put everyone who wanted to fly through strict screening processes. We tightened security to the point that if you even *joked* about doing something evil, you were prevented from flying. And finally, we don’t let anyone who goes to a Walmart to fly a damn airplane.
