WASHINGTON, DC - JUNE 13: U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) enters a meeting with former President Donald Trump and the House Republican Conference at the Republican National Committee on June 13, 2024 in Washington, DC.

4 years on, this tweet from Lauren ‘I touch people during poltergeist plays’ Boebert has aged as well milk in the Sahara

Her words are coming back to haunt her.

Lauren Boebert has done a lot of things in public that she regrets (well, at least we hope she does), but this confident declaration from back in 2020 deserves to rank up there with the best of them. Not quite at “Groping during Beetlejuice” levels, or that time she tried to take on a whole college protest on her lonesome, but still.

Thank you to X user @ArtCandee for reminding us that in the long ago days of Aug. 13, 2020, the cuckoo Coloradan congresswoman attempted to burn President Biden by comparing him to her four sons. “I’m the mother of four boys,” Bobo wrote. “Each of them are far more capable of running this country than Joe Biden.”

Fast forward four years, of course, and one of those four boys has since been arrested on nearly two dozen counts of identity fraud and car theft. Prime presidential material right there.

As a reminder, the Boebert boy in question is Tyler Boebert, Lauren’s eldest, whom she had at the age of 18. In February 2024, Tyler was arrested on a total of 22 charges, comprising four felony counts of criminal possession of an ID, a felony count of conspiracy to commit a felony, and 17 various misdemeanor and petty charges. It’s worth noting that one of Tyler’s alleged victims was as young as three.

But, hey, in the Boebert fam’s defense, even Tyler’s record isn’t as bad as Bobo’s beloved Trump.

That’s one smart 12-year-old. He’s clearly not related to the Boeberts.

Just to be clear, Lauren’s other three children — Brody, Kaydon, and Roman — don’t have any criminal records, as far as we know. So, to give Bobo her due, only one quarter of her offspring have victimized a toddler. As parenting records go, that’s not too shabby, right?

And it’s not like she ditched her own son’s criminal trial but went to support Donald Trump at his instead, is it? Oh, right…
