Many drivers honked and gave a small group a thumbs up, but at least one shook his head, another uttered the word “no,” and the man in the pickup truck , told Boebert to stand by Jason Valdez, who was protesting. Across the street.
“When people ask me why good people put Hitler and his party in power, I tell them, ‘I’m dying in a hospital right now because of the Roe v. Wade overthrow.’ Have you seen these women dying or dying? Do you see LGBTQ people being murdered, ridiculed and discriminated against? Good people standing up and saying something about it where is the Colorado Times Recorder.
“What kind of person am I if I don’t stand up? What lesson am I teaching my children?”
Before heading to La Junta, Bobert greeted the Warsenburg supporters and took a group photo with them.Click here for photos posted by her campaign.
“We have to get ahead of the lies” being spread by the media, Beaubert told a small crowd before leaving. Hmm.
“We have to go out and tell everyone you know to ‘vote’. And above all, remember, you deserve a government that doesn’t have Nancy Pelosi as its chairman,” she said.
call pelosi
This wasn’t the only time she mentioned Pelosi. Boebert appears to have framed the Speaker of the House as a prime target in the midterm elections – the Democrat she opposes, not Adam Frisch.
“Whether Nancy Pelosi has the power of the pen and is playing the fraud game of putting a great title on the bill and loading up on it, even if you’re in the minority, we’re here for you in Washington, D.C. There’s a lot of great stuff going on, Bobert said in a speech to an audience of about 60 people on the patio of La Junta Library.
She accused Democrats’ policies of causing high inflation and other problems.
Small businesses are struggling to “open their doors” and hire people, while workers are struggling to find “well-paying jobs.”
The unemployment rate was 3.5% in August, the lowest level in more than 50 years. Wages rose by more than 5% year-on-year, but not enough to keep up with inflation.
Four million people have crossed the “wide-open” southern border “illegally, without being tested or vaccinated,” Boebert said.
Customs and Border Protection statistics show a sharp increase in migrant “encounters” at the Mexican border since February 2021, after Biden took office, but Pew Research has shown that 2020 Global immigration plummeted in 2019 as borders were closed or restricted. Significant restrictions due to the spread of the new coronavirus infection.
Encounters with immigrants include arrest, where a person is detained and held until the case is adjudicated, and deportation, Pugh says.
Immigrants can reap immediate benefits, Mr Boebert said. “Do you know who needs the benefits? Our veterans.”
In fact, illegal immigrants, including children brought to the United States by their parents, are denied access to most federal public benefits, including supplemental nutritional assistance programs sometimes called food stamps. Non-emergency Medicaid, and temporary aid for needy families, according to the National Immigration Forum advocacy group. They may be eligible for benefits deemed life-saving and necessary, such as Emergency Medicaid and emergency room care.
Even legal immigrants cannot take full advantage of federal benefits until they have lived in the United States for five years.
She outlined how she helped veterans, but the tally by Frisch’s campaign included bipartisan bills proposing expanded medical care and benefits for toxin-exposed veterans, including Bobert’s voted against more than a dozen bills in support of them.
Hours after OPEC+ (the original cartel and other oil producers, especially Russia) announced they would slash production, Boubert called on the White House to “unleash[US energy]now.” She didn’t explain what she meant.
In a statement after the OPEC+ announcement, the White House said Biden told the Department of Energy that he would “bring another 10 million barrels from the Strategic Oil Reserve into the market next month, the historic release the president ordered in March. I ordered it to continue,” he said.
He also directed Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm to look for “responsible” ways to increase domestic production for the foreseeable future, and asked U.S. energy companies to close the gap between wholesale and retail gas prices. I asked him to keep shrinking. pump,” the statement said.
Boebert covered even more topics in long, sometimes humorous, unscripted speeches, preceded by a prayer.
She asked, “In the next elections, Father God, support You in getting rid of corrupt politicians and appointing righteous men and women.”
“It’s no coincidence that we are here at this moment in history,” she said, referring to the same Christian ethnicity who addressed the “From Vision to Victory” conference in Woodland Park in September. I used the rhetoric of ideology.
Her words subsequently drew a warning from Philip Gorsky, a sociologist and co-director of the Center for Comparative Studies at Yale University, that Christian nationalism is dangerous to democracy. denver post report.
“More people are saying, ‘We’re in a fight for the soul of America.’ We’re on the side of good, but maybe democracy is getting in the way.” Maybe we need to take power, and if that means minority dominance to impose our vision on everyone else, that’s what we’re trying to do.
defend liberty?
Some Beaubert supporters said they supported her because she defended their freedom. When they were asked to elaborate, they all mentioned the right to bear arms. freedom and the right to assembly.
No one mentioned religious freedom, but Waldez, a protester in Warsenburg, said:
Christians have no right to tell me or my family how we should live.
“Also pro-choice. No one but that woman and her doctor should be involved in what a woman does with her body,” he added.
Pointing to the placard’s message “No racism, no bigotry, no homophobia, no Beauvert,” he says, “I’ve had enough of that crap,” and doesn’t want it in his town.
