    Default GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert’s MLK Day Tribute Backfires

    Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) on Monday joined the long list of Republicans whose attempts to honor Martin Luther King Jr. have gone awry.

    Boebert marked MLK Day by quoting the late civil rights leader on Twitter.

    She wrote:

    “The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.”

    “On this day, we remember his incredible legacy and contributions to this great nation,” Boebert added.


    And the blow back

    They won’t be able to remember his legacy when people like you want to ban schools from teaching children about it because you think it teaches them to hate America, Lauren.


    Your party is literally seeking to ban the teaching of his speeches in public schools, Lauren.

    “If we have to have a choice between being dead and pitied, and being alive with a bad image, we’d rather be alive and have the bad image.”

    — Golda Meir

    Zionism is the movement for the self-determination and statehood for the Jewish people in their ancestral homeland, the land of Israel.


    “If Hamas put down their weapons, there would be no more violence. If the Jews put down their weapons, there would be no Israel."

    One would have to ask why she bothered, given the citizenry that most likely voted for her, even her mentioning MLK might have cost her future votes
