Boebert Instantly Fact-Checked After Claiming Teachers Didn't Announce Their Marital Status When She Was A Kid

The MAGA Rep. was reminded that titles like 'Miss' and 'Mrs.' are marital and gender signifiers.

Colorado Republican Representative Lauren Boebert claimed teachers didn't announce their marital status when she was a young student.

Boebert made the claim in response to a clip of White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre criticizing Florida officials for the state's controversial "Don't Say Gay" law which, per its language, prohibits “a school district from encouraging classroom discussion about sexual orientation or gender identity in primary grade levels or in a specified manner."


Boebert, who has often been criticized for homophobic and transphobic rhetoric, tweeted:

"Growing up, I don't recall teachers announcing their marital status [and] pronouns to everyone. They're there to educate. How is this still a complaint of the Left?"

You can see Boebert's tweet below.

While Boebert questioned why Democrats would "complain" about a law critics say limits the abilities of LGBTQ+ teachers to talk about their personal lives while their heterosexual colleagues can proceed with business as usual, many were quick to note her faulty logic.

They noted that teachers often discuss their personal lives with their students and that this happens across the nation on a regular basis.

Many said while Boebert may not remember teachers sharing their gender or marital status while she attended school, they certainly did.



This isn't the first time Boebert was criticized for apparently misunderstanding the purpose of preferred gender pronouns.

Last year, Boebert was mocked after she said her "pronoun is patriot."

Boebert also drew criticism after she made the absurd claim that Democrats are "trying to get rid of parents" in response to the House's approved rules about the language that would be used in official documents as part of an effort to include more inclusive language.

Hollywood has made some progress with LGBTQ+ representation in mainstream films like Call Me by Your Name (2017), Moonlight (2016), and Carol (2015) that cater to those audiences.

But when it comes to featuring a gay kiss in commercial blockbusters meant for the general mass audience, studios remain skittish and tend to leave such scenes on the cutting room floor.

Elon Musk Sued For Fraud By Petition Signers Over Million Dollar Vote Buying Scheme

Three proposed class-action lawsuits have been filed against billionaire Elon Musk alleging that his political action committee, America PAC, engaged in fraudulent practices. The lawsuits claim the PAC misled voters by promising a random $1 million cash prize, even though the winners were allegedly predetermined.

Musk established America PAC in October to back President-elect Donald Trump’s successful presidential campaign. The PAC reportedly targeted Trump supporters in battleground states, encouraging them to share personal information and sign an online petition advocating for "free speech and the right to bear arms" in exchange for a chance to win the prize.

After President-elect Donald Trump chose Florida Republican Representative Matt Gaetz for his Attorney General, conservative commentator Ben Domenech—the co-founder of The Federalist and editor-at-large of The Spectator World—did not hold back with a warning to anyone who votes to confirm him.

Domenech highlighted that Gaetz was previously the subject of a Justice Department investigation into alleged sex trafficking involving a 17-year-old girl and has faced scrutiny from the House Ethics Committee over accusations of sexual misconduct. However, that inquiry effectively concluded on Wednesday when Gaetz announced his resignation from Congress.

Though the majority of the age group voted for Kamala Harris, a staggering proportion voted for Donald Trump at a far higher percentage than is typical for the youth vote where Republicans are concerned.
