A funny (see: sad and disappointing but not surprising ) part but not certainly the only funny part:
Boebert said she was “extremely disappointed in the bias” of reporter Ryan Warner’s questions about a third of the way through the interview, and she later battled with him over climate change and water, saying “there’s certainly a reason” she doesn’t “listen to CPR news.”
I’ll jump on the fact checking train:
Warner: Well, first of all, I get to say things as a journalist to set the record straight, so inflation is easing.
Rep. Boebert: Oh, you’re going to fact check me during the interview?
Warner: That’s exactly right, and inflation is easing.
Rep. Boebert: Okay, this is adorable. Go to your local King Soopers or your City Market and ask the shoppers if inflation is down when they’re buying one dozen eggs for $7, $10,
I don’t know Colorado specific geography well. I just went to the King Soopers web site and picked a random Denver location:
Here is eggs for $3.09/dozen, so Boebert is wrong again.
She’s not wrong, she’s lying. And her lie resonates with the perceived reality of many viewers, who aren’t going to check egg prices to make up their mind.
They’re just gonna get the warm fuzzy feeling that Brobert will do something about them.
I’ve heard the magabrained who actually do go shopping for things like eggs claim ridiculously absurd numbers, or nod along to some other magabrain who is claiming absurdly high prices. They definitely know better, but they’ll go along with it anyway.
And then there was that “JD” Vance standing right in front of a sign for egg prices, lying about the price of eggs.
They are brazen liars.
