Republican Congresswoman Lauren Boebert of Colorado attracted attention last month when she appeared at a virtual House committee meeting in front of a large display of rifles.



Now, following the mass shooting in her home state of Colorado, Boebert appeared in a virtual interview to argue against stricter gun regulations.

This time, however, many viewers noticed that her guns were gone.


If Boebert is so certain guns aren't anything to be ashamed of, Twitter wondered why Boebert removed her display.




Apparently, Boebert felt her guns might not send the right message after a mass shooting.



Perhaps Boebert didn't want her gun display reminding viewers of how easy it is to buy heavy-duty assault weapons in America.



Twitter ridiculed Boebert for her sudden, unacknowledged change of decor.


People noticed a slight inconsistency between Boebert's message and her actions.


Perhaps Boebet's guns will reappear after some time has passed since the most recent mass shooting.

Speaking to anchor Jake Tapper on CNN last April, Ohio Republican Mike Turner said that Russian propaganda had "infected" the GOP in a clip that has resurfaced after President-elect Donald Trump had him ousted as House Intelligence Committee chair.

At the time, Turner made it clear that his fellow Republicans were parroting Russian propaganda about the war in Ukraine and its relationship with NATO members. That claim came after House Foreign Affairs Committee chair Michael McCaul, who said he thinks "Russian propaganda has made its way into the United States, unfortunately, and it’s infected a good chunk of my party’s base."
