Lauren Boebert Wants to Bring Jan. 6 Rioters Back to Scene of the Crime

Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert also went on a tirade targeting Democrats “regretting that they didn’t just shut up.”

Conservative Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert offered to give pardoned Jan. 6 rioters a guided tour of the U.S. Capitol Tuesday. Speaking to reporters outside the DC Central Detention Facility in Washington D.C., Boebert went on a heated lament listing her regrets over the “livelihoods that were lost” and mourned the accused rioters who wasted their time in “court and on probation” defending themselves against something that they “shouldn’t have had to defend.” “I want to see them for their release, and you know, I’ll be the first member of Congress to offer them a guided tour in the Capitol tonight,” she continued. “If there’s another regret, I’m sure it’s only on the Democrats who are regretting that they didn’t just shut up because now they’re finding out,” she also declared. “They messed around, if you will, for four years, and now they’re finding out.” During his inauguration Monday, President Donald Trump pardoned roughly 1,500 people connected to the storming of the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.
