Lauren Boebert has not responded publicly to criticism over her comments about Pete Buttigieg trying to "chest feed" and about Rep.
Good ol' Mayor Pete has the Secretary of Transportation. He was not in charge of the supply chain crisis. Boebert said that someone else was tapped because Mayor Pete was still trying to figure out how to chest feed.
She said someone should tell him so he can get back to work.
The video of the event was shared to Facebook the same day it was posted to social media, but it was recorded at a different event. She has yet to respond to the criticism she received after her comments on social media.
The November 26, 2021 date is mentioned by Michael Holmes.
Boebert's representative didn't return Insider's request for comment on Sunday.
In September, Buttigieg and his husband, Chasten, announced that they had adopted twins. The transportation secretary took parental leave from his position in the Biden administration, a decision that caused blowback from conservatives.
Boebert made claims about the transportation secretary trying to "chest feed" his children.
The guy was not working. Why? She said that he was trying to figure out how to feed himself. Tucker Carlson claimed that Buttigieg was trying to learn to breastfeed.
Boebert apologized for her comments at the event where she implied that Rep. Ilhan Omar, who is Muslim, was a terrorist.
Boebert said that she ran towards the Capitol Police officer with "fret all over his face" when she encountered him in the elevator.
She doesn't have a backpack. Boebert told the officer that they should be fine. Boebert referred to the group of progressive lawmakers who are all people of color as the "Jihad Squad" during the interaction.
According to NBC Washington, the story was made up by Boebert.
Her comments about the person of the other race sparked a lot of backlash and she apologized on Friday.
Boebert apologized to the Muslim community for his comment about Rep. I reached out to her office to speak with her directly. There are a lot of policy differences to focus on.
After Boebert issued her statement, she called on Pelosi and McCarthy to take action against her.
"Saying I am a suicide bomber is not a joke, it endangers my life and the lives of all Muslims, and the Speaker and the GOP need to take appropriate action," she said. There is no place for anti-Muslim bigotry in Congress.
The Democratic leadership in the House said in a statement that her language and behavior were far beneath the standard of integrity, dignity and decency that the Constitution requires of us.
