Rep. Lauren Boebert’s (R-Colo.) offer to take the newly pardoned Jan. 6 rioters on a guided tour of the U.S. Capitol felt like a moot point for many critics.
Why?
Because, commenters pointed out on social media, the people whom President Donald Trump granted clemency to in one of his first acts on returning to the White House this week are pretty familiar with the seat of the U.S. Congress.
You know, from when they stormed it in 2021.
One response to Boebert’s offer on X, formerly Twitter, has gone viral with more than 5.3 million views.
It simply read, “Girl they already know their way around.”
Meanwhile, Denver TV news anchor Kyle Clark — who has reported on Boebert for years, including on that moment at a “Beetlejuice” musical — addressed the congresswoman’s offer live on 9News when he read feedback from a viewer who asked, “Didn’t those criminals already get a tour of the Capitol?”
Clark responded, “I suppose they did but it’s probably tough to really get an appreciation for the architecture and the history when you have to step over the body of the police officer you just assaulted.”
