Lauren Boebert's Remarks On Student Loan Forgiveness Have Twitter In Hysterics
Daniel Cobb
In a recent interview with Fox News (shown here via the Patriot Takes Twitter feed), Representative Lauren Boebert disparaged some on Twitters for perceived homophobic and xenophobic comments. "How the heck can Joe Biden call America First conservatives a threat to democracy with a straight face and a dry diaper?" she asked. "He's the one who has allowed millions to invade our southern border. He's the one who is robbing hard-working Americans to pay for Karen's daughter's degree in lesbian dance theory."
Twitter users pounced on her quote. Noting that Boebert got her GED after dropping out of high school (per Fox News), one said, "Lauren's college credits completed? None." Some pointed out Lauren Boebert's surprising net worth, and the fact that many of her fellow politicians received millions in PPP loans intended to help small businesses during the pandemic.
Others mocked Boebert's jab at gender studies. Tennis legend Martina Navratilova zinged, "[T]his 65-year-old lesbian has never heard of lesbian dance theory, but maybe it's a thing. Lauren — you are grasping at straws, darling. And I am really glad you are straight." Another user laughed, "If I only could've majored in lesbian dance theory. I'd be a TikTok billionaire and wouldn't need student loans relief."
Political satirist Jeremy Newberger invoked another comedic comparison: "You know as soon as Lauren Boebert uttered the words Lesbian Dance Theory, Ron DeSantis drew up legislation to remove it from Florida schools, and GOP super PACs kicked in a...ton of money."
