Calls for the expulsion from Congress and the arrest of Representative Lauren Boebert (R-CO) flooded social media today after it was revealed that the extremist, conspiracy-minded Congresswoman tweeted details of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s location in the middle of the mob invasion of the Capitol Building.
Congresswoman Boebert’s actions during the storming of Congress are raising concerns that the gun-toting lawmaker may have been aiding and abetting the violent insurrectionists.
Sometime during the chaotic intrusion into Congress by hordes of MAGA supporters bent on reversing the democratic results of the 2020 presidential election, Rep. Boebert was tweeting to her conspiracy-loving followers while other legislators were seeking safe shelter and fearing for their lives.
The Speaker has been removed from the chambers.

While Boebert couldn’t provide the exact location to which Pelosi had been spirited away, her insider information would have helped any of the violent terrorists in the crowd — the ones that brought zip-ties, tire irons, pepper spray, and other weapons along with them with the intent of dragging democratically elected representatives to the makeshift gallows that they had erected on the Capitol grounds — narrow down their search for the figures they wished to subject to their perverted vision of vigilante justice.
Rep. Boebert had obvious fantasies about being some sort of Revolutionary War Tea Party hero judging by another post she made yesterday well before the insurrection began, placing her among the congressional instigators and enablers of the seditious mob.
Today is 1776.

Add your name to demand the 25th amendment be used to remove Trump from office IMMEDIATELY!
As such, people on social media clamored loudly for Congresswoman Boebert to be removed from Congress per Section 3 of the 14th Amendment to the Consitution whose clearly-stated mandates they cited in their response to the rebellious legislator’s post.
AG Rosen said the law "does not require proof of a plot to overthrow" the government, and someone can be charged with sedition for using force "to oppose" govt' authority, to "prevent, hinder or delay" the execution of the law, and to "seize, take or possess" government property.

For a start. Then sedition, attempted murder, involvement in an assassination plot. These #MAGATerrorists aren't going to be so cocky soon enough.

We are coming after your seat bit•h. You are a traitor.
Every single public servant will know what you tried to do. We will not let this slide. Resign or get expelled.— DMTass (@TassDm) January 10, 2021
Many posts went even further and urged the FBI to arrest the Congresswoman immediately for being an active participant in the treasonous invasion with her helpful tweets to those seeking out the Democratic House Speaker.
@SpeakerPelosi you need to have her removed with every fight that you have. This is nothing short of an attempt on your life.

Skip the formalities of removing her from Congress – she needs to go straight to jail.
What a horrible disgraceful rat.

Aid and comfort to the enemy. Or the definition of Treason.

She was totally hyped up while spewing her objections just minutes before this erupted. I was watching and I even tweeted at that time asking who she was yelling at. Her behavior is very suspicious. She was definitely playing her part in this attack.

There’s something really up about this tweet. She sent it at 2:18. How do we bring more attention to this before it’s a Non-Fiction hit on @hbomax?! https://t.co/U6CLDfKDVU

Looks to most she was part of the insurrection. If so I hope she is in custody. IF TRUE. @SpeakerPelosi @SenSchumer #laurenbobert

@laurenboebert has found her trajectory and it’s going down like a fireball. Your town halls will be fun, hun. That is, if even have the courage to hold them. Which you won’t. Censure @laurenboebert

And their support for Confederate Memorials and flags was culture and Southern Pride, not racism. The @gop owns this image.

Congresswoman Boebert’s words and actions both before and during the right-wing insurrection should disqualify her permanently from ever stepping foot again into the chambers whose trust she violated with her seditious support for a violent revolutionary attack.
Let’s hope that Speaker Pelosi intends on holding accountable those members of the House who were actively complicit with the perpetrators of this unprecedented assault on our democracy and that Boebert winds up being an asterisk in the footnotes of history rather than the Civil War hero she so obviously desired becoming.
