'Glass house': Conservative slams Lauren Boebert for picking fight over Biden family drama

Conservative columnist Matt Lewis tore into Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) for living in a "glass house" while attacking President Joe Biden for the behavior of his son, when she herself is "a 36-year-old grandmother" with a son who "was arrested after going on an alleged crime spree."

"I’m no prude. Nor do I think parents are to blame for every wayward child. Stuff happens even in the best of families. There but for the grace of God go I. What is more, it’s not like Boebert is the first politician to endure an embarrassing family scandal. But the Boeberts are a special case for a couple reasons," wrote Lewis. Chiefly, "the day before the news broke about Tyler, Boebert tweeted: 'The Biden Crime Family will go down as the most corrupt political family in American history.'”

"Tyler Boebert and Hunter Biden are both adult men who appear to be very troubled," wrote Lewis. "But (for now, at least) there is about as much evidence that Joe Biden was involved in Hunter’s alleged criminal behavior as there is that Lauren was involved in Tyler’s — which is to say, there is none. Apparently, Lauren sees Hunter as 'fair game.'"

Boebert, who made explosive headlines last year for an incident in which she was kicked out of a theater for vaping and public lewdness, recently jumped to a different congressional district on the other side of Colorado amid fears she wouldn't be re-nominated to her current seat.

"Whether it’s Boebert or allegations about Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), the head of the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), or the chair of the Florida Republican Party (just to mention a few recent examples), one gets the sense that Republicans are no longer sending us their best and brightest. It feels more like they are scraping the bottom of the proverbial barrel," wrote Lewis. "A while back, I observed that 'when it comes to being ‘groomed’ — literally — your grandchildren are safer with a Libs of TikTok teacher than they are trying to score a Republican internship or campaign gig.' Similarly, you’d be hard-pressed to find more weirdos and (alleged) criminals at a New Orleans strip club than you would at a Republican caucus meeting in 2024."

Ultimately, Lewis concluded, "Who needs salacious soap operas or scripted TV dramas? America has politics as its favorite reality freak show."
