Conspiracy theory-endorsing Representative Lauren Boebert (R-CO) is facing major online backlash for a tweet she posted and subsequently deleted about how to conquer the highly contagious delta Variant of the virus.

She even made an extra effort to make the already insensitive tweet worse, by ending it with "And vote Republican."


"The easiest way to make the Delta variant go away is to turn off CNN. And vote Republican."

It would seem that Boebert quickly realized the error of her tweet, as she deleted it a mere hour after posting.

The internet is forever, though, and the now deleted tweet was archived on ProPublica's "Politiwhoops" page.

It didn't take long for the rest of the internet to latch on to her archived tweet. Deleting it didn't save her like she thought it would.






Many pointed out that the delta Variant of the virus is the Variant responsible for most new cases of the virus in Boebert's own district.



It would seem that Boebert does actually believe in the virus, as she tweeted a strongly worded, if not particularly nuanced, criticism of Dr. Fauci in May.


Nice try at being clever, but if reactions are any indication it clearly missed the mark.

Democratic Rep. Says What We're All Thinking About Trump's 'Beyond Insane' Cabinet Picks

Democratic Massachusetts Representative Jim McGovern gave his blunt assessment of President-elect Donald Trump's bizarre Cabinet picks thus far, calling them "beyond insane."

With Trump recently having picked Matt Gaetz (who faces sex trafficking accusations) for attorney general, Tulsi Gabbard (who has ignited concerns due to her ties to Russia) for director of national intelligence, and Pete Hegseth (a Fox News host accused of sexual assault) for secretary of defense, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (an antivaxxer and conspiracy theorist) for secretary of health and human services, Senate Republicans are very much divided on confirming them.

As President-elect Donald Trump's Cabinet picks face increasing opposition from Senate Republicans, Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene is not handling it all that well, demanding her colleagues "say yes sir" to Trump's every whim.

With Trump recently having picked Matt Gaetz (who faces sex trafficking accusations) for attorney general, Tulsi Gabbard (who has ignited concerns due to her ties to Russia) for director of national intelligence, and Pete Hegseth (a Fox News host accused of sexual assault) for secretary of defense—to say nothing of others who've made headlines for similarly disturbing reasons—Senate Republicans are very much divided.
