Rep. Lauren Boebert Ridiculed For Hot Take On Ukraine And Guns

Extremist Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) was roundly mocked on Monday for her ridiculous stretch making an attempt to spin Russia’s invasion of Ukraine into an assault on gun management.

“Keep in mind. Ukraine gave up their nukes in trade for guarantees of safety,” the conspiracy theorist tweeted, referencing the nation’s nuclear disarmament following the top of the Chilly Warfare and the collapse of the Soviet Union.

“We see how that turned out,” the Donald Trump-adoring gun lover added. “This is the reason we should NEVER quit our weapons to any authorities.”

Keep in mind.

Ukraine gave up their nukes in trade for guarantees of safety.

We see how that turned out.

This is the reason we should NEVER quit our weapons to any authorities.

Critics thought Boebert’s comparability of firearms with nuclear weapons was simply an excessive amount of:

Weapons do not equal nukes!

Oh my God, how are you not getting this? Two completely separate issues. It’s like evaluating apples to a dragon.

Does that imply we’re all getting nukes?

We are able to pile them on a bookshelf behind us in Zoom conferences. Pose with them in Christmas pictures. Have shirts that say, “Over my radioactive physique.”

Evaluating rifles to nukes is an excessive comparability contemplating that reality people can’t simply stroll into their native Walmart or bass professional store and buy a nuclear weapon.

What a considerate spin!🤪

Weapons and nukes are 2 various things.

Wow, thanks for that profound gem

As a result of weapons and nukes are a lot alike. Acquired it.

Right here we go along with the "they're after our weapons" rant. Is there an inventory?

Wonderful argument for a fifth grader.

Sure, these are the identical factor 🙄
