John,
Wednesday evening, the U.S. House passed a bill to lift the debt ceiling until 2025, codifying the negotiations between Speaker McCarthy and President Biden.
Lauren Boebert spent the better part of the last two weeks crowing about her fake concern for government spending, demanding steep cuts to programs like veteran's healthcare and SNAP food assistance for the working poor, and promising to do all she could to make sure the U.S. defaulted on its debt obligations.
Last week, she even publicly committed to voting no on the compromise legislation, speaking at a press conference in front of dozens of reporters. So what did Boebert do when it was time to actually vote? When the bill was brought to a final vote for passage she boldly...skipped the vote.
