Lauren Boebert’s advice to “be kind” is thrown in her face

Ordering Rep. Lauren Boebert to “be kind” backfired when social media users accused the Colorado Republican of not practicing what she preaches.

“Be nice. Don’t be ugly,” Boeberts read tweet Wednesday afternoon.

Several users on Twitter responded to the five-word post by throwing advice back in Boebert’s direction, including David Weissmana political commentator who describes himself as a “former Trump supporter.”

“Can you admit that [is] something you can work on yourself?” Weissman tweeted.

“I can admit that I have to work on it. I think that would be a better approach from you then [sic] pretend to be a saint.”

actor Donnie Keschwartz poked fun at Boebert’s advice, replying, “Unkind Pot, meet Ugly Kettle.”

Jonathan GoldmanProducer and showrunner at FreakMagnet Productions, in response to Boebert, added, “Don’t try to say the right thing. You don’t have the practice.”

Other users pointed to times when Boebert had acted “ugly” in office, such as when she heckled President Joe Biden during his State of the Union address in March 2022.

“Are you yelling at the President during the State of the Union address?” wrote author Robert Jon Andersonwho posted a photo of Boebert screaming during Biden’s speech.

“It’s kind of ugly,” he added.

A few conservatives sided with Boebert, including the Republican and former Florida congressional candidate Lavender Spicer.

“And the comment shows exactly how ugly it looks,” Spicer wrote in response to Boebert’s tweet. “God, these people are miserable.”

John MatlandFormer Republican congressional candidate from New York, also defended Boebert’s tweet, writing: “The left only knows the negative way of life these days.”

“It’s their way or it’s a FULL implosion,” he added. “Just watch the reactions to it.”

Boebert has been one of the most vocal Conservatives in the House of Representatives since taking office in January 2021, even as the 118th Congress voted on the next House Speaker. She was among the few Republicans who prevented Kevin McCarthy from gaining enough votes for the election by the 15th ballot.

While she has found some allies among other GOP members, including Florida Rep Matt Gaetz, Boebert recently had a rift with one of her close colleagues, Georgia Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene.

Though the two congressmen support former President Donald Trump, Greene and Boebert fell out over McCarthy’s bid to be the speaker, and a report from Tuesday’s The Daily Beast said the two were engaged in a shouting match in a congressional bathroom during the vote.

In a podcast interview last week, Greene said the two lawmakers had “no real conversation” about their disagreement over McCarthy.
