Republican Congresswoman Lauren Boebert of Colorado has already made a name for herself as one of the more troubling and difficult members of the freshman class in the House Of Representatives.
Now grammar mangler has been added to the list of criticisms.
In a tweet some saw as mocking the trans community or "woke culture," Boebert announced her "pronoun" was "Patriot."
My pronoun is \u201cPatriot\u201d.— Lauren Boebert (@Lauren Boebert) 1621976382
A pronoun is defined as a "word that can function by itself and that refers either to the participants in the discourse (e.g., I, you ) or to someone or something mentioned elsewhere in the discourse (e.g., she, it, this) or signifies possession (her, his, theirs)."
The word "patriot" is a plain old noun.
A noun is a "word (except a pronoun) that identifies a person, place or thing, or names one of them (proper noun)."
Patriot is defined as "a person who vigorously supports their country and is prepared to defend it against enemies or detractors."
But Boebert wasn't displaying her ignorance of English syntax.
She was trying to "own the libs"—which is what most of her legislative career seems focused on.
hey everyone! respect patriot\u2019s pronouns \n example: patriot is stupid and needs to learn basic englishhttps://twitter.com/laurenboebert/status/1397296338237337603\u00a0\u2026— Melissa (@Melissa) 1622069860

This is one of the most moronic things I\u2019ve ever seen.https://twitter.com/laurenboebert/status/1397296338237337603\u00a0\u2026— Gramps (@Gramps) 1622066072
Boebert's attempted mockery comes with a history of anti-LGBTQ+ activism on her part. This lead some to think the tweet was directed at the trans community.
As a Representative, Boebert openly opposed the Equality Act.
She also opposed Spongebob Squarepants whom she claimed is definitely gay. There have been hints and speculation about the cartoon character much like Bert & Ernie, but no sexuality was assigned to Spongebob by his creator.
Sea sponges reproduce asexually in any case.
Just clueless.https://twitter.com/laurenboebert/status/1397296338237337603\u00a0\u2026— Justfetz (@Justfetz) 1622064919
Well, you\u2019re a dropout and a Republican so I wouldn\u2019t expect you to know what a pronoun is.https://twitter.com/laurenboebert/status/1397296338237337603\u00a0\u2026— Jenny Nichole \ud83c\udf08 #AlwaysPunchNazis (@Jenny Nichole \ud83c\udf08 #AlwaysPunchNazis) 1622064701

Isn\u2019t that a noun though? https://twitter.com/laurenboebert/status/1397296338237337603\u00a0\u2026— Michael Vogel (@Michael Vogel) 1622063068

Someone who can\u2019t understand basic grammar, noun vs pronoun, shouldn\u2019t be trusted with an AR-15.https://twitter.com/laurenboebert/status/1397296338237337603\u00a0\u2026— GC Kim (@GC Kim) 1622061158

First- patriot is not a pronoun.\n\nSecond- there are many words to describe you... and patriot is not one of them.\n\nIdiot is the first word that comes to mind.https://twitter.com/laurenboebert/status/1397296338237337603\u00a0\u2026— CJ \ud83c\udf0a (@CJ \ud83c\udf0a) 1622035030
Boebert has gotten dragged on Twitter repeatedly. With another year left in Congress and a propensity for tweets like this, it is bound to happen again.
In the meantime, hopefully she learns her parts of speech.
