Colorado Republican Representative Lauren Boebert attacked Vice President Kamala Harris on Tuesday, demanding that she be impeached for not invoking the 25th Amendment to remove President Joe Biden from office over his handling of the Afghanistan war.

Boebert, who has made Afghanistan one of her major talking points these last few weeks, made the remarks during a Freedom Caucus press conference.

Lauren Boebert demands Kamala Harris be impeachedyoutu.be

Boebert said:

"The blame starts at the top with Biden and his handpicked vice president who bragged that she was right there making the same bad decisions."
"And if not for her own dereliction of duty, she should be impeached for not demanding we invoke the 25th Amendment."

Boebert's claim refers to remarks Harris made in April about being the "last person in the room" with President Biden when he made the decision to pull all United States troops out of Afghanistan.

She continued attacking the President and Vice President, this time implying that they want to turn the United States into a "socialist nation":

"Impeach Biden, impeach Kamala Harris and throw in the Secretary of State [Antony Blinken]. I came here [to Congress] to make sure my boys never lived in a socialist nation."
"And right now, today, I have to second guess who would actually lead them if they took a stand to serve and join our military."

And she concluded by tossing in a conspiracy theory about Biden's mental fitness:

" Woke doesn't work! Cutting and running doesn't work! Being asleep or senile or sucking on applesauce obviously doesn't work!"

Boebert does not appear to know how the 25th Amendment works.

The 25th Amendment formally outlines the transition of power if the President is unable or unfit to serve.

It is up to the Vice President and a majority of the sitting Cabinet members to vote accordingly if they feel the President cannot fulfill their duties.

The 25th Amendment has never been invoked.

A national conversation about its use erupted last year, after former President Donald Trump became seriously ill with Covid-19 and had to be hospitalized.

Boebert was harshly criticized by many who wondered what in the world she is going on about.









Boebert's rhetoric on Afghanistan has not matched her actual policymaking.

Although she has spent a lot of time criticizing Biden over the Afghanistan withdrawal since the Taliban seized power, her voting record speaks for itself.

In July, Boebert was among the lawmakers who voted against H.R. 3985, the Averting Loss of Life and Injury by Expediting SIVs Act of 2021.

The bill increases the number of immigration visas available to Afghan citizens who have helped U.S. soldiers during the 20-year conflict.

It is likely Boebert's comments about impeaching Vice President Harris are meant as a distraction from her very real legal issues.

Earlier this week, the House Select Committee said it will ask telecommunications companies to preserve the phone records of lawmakers who participated in the "Stop the Steal" rally ahead of the January 6 Capitol riot.

Boebert is one of several Republicans whose phone records have come under scrutiny.

In May last year, Trump became the first former president to be convicted of felony crimes. The jury found him guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records to conceal hush money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels to illegally influence the 2016 election.

'Ferris Bueller' Clip Explaining Tariff Disaster In 1930 Goes Viral Amid Trump's Tariff War

People are nodding their heads after a clip from the movie Ferris Bueller's Day Off in which Ben Stein's teacher character explains the disastrous results of the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act in 1930 went viral after President Donald Trump's announced tariffs on goods imported from Canada and Mexico.

The scene features a high school economics teacher, played by Ben Stein, lecturing his uninterested students about the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act—a real-life 1930 bill signed by President Herbert Hoover that raised tariffs on imported goods. The law, often blamed for exacerbating the Great Depression, has drawn comparisons to Trump’s recent trade policies.
