Rep. Lauren Boebert Says Canada
And U.S. 'Need To Be Liberated'
Like Ukraine
As everyday Ukrainian people take up arms against Russian invaders in a desperate bid to hang onto their democracy, Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) on Sunday compared their situation to protesting truckers in Canada who didn’t want to get the COVID-19 vaccine.
“I pray for Ukraine and I wish them the best. They have a great president right now who has really said clearly, ‘Live free or die.’ He said, ‘I don’t need a ride, give me ammunition. The fight is right here,’” Boebert said in an interview with Fox News personalities Kayleigh McEnany and Pete Hegseth at the Conservative Political Action Conference that aired on the Fox Nation streaming service.
“But we also have neighbors to the north who need freedom and need to be liberated and we need that right here at home as well.”
The gun-obsessed, extremist lawmaker had been referring to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s refusal of a U.S. offer to be evacuated from Kyiv, as Russian troops continued to press into the capital in an unprovoked attack that has shocked the world.
Zelenskyy has vowed to defend the country with its citizens, saying, “We are not putting down arms.”
The city’s residents have sheltered in underground bunkers and subway stations and accepted weapons from the government to join the fight in the streets as Russian airstrikes rain down on the capital and other cities.
Boebert made the outrageous comments after Hegseth brought up Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and called him an “autocrat” because he quashed anti-vaccine protests that had paralyzed international supply chains for weeks.
The demonstrators were against vaccine mandates and an assortment of other measures intended to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Boebert claimed President Joe Biden is “jealous” of the control that “tyrant Trudeau” has, adding that the Ukraine crisis is “all because of weakness in America.”
She did not mention the actual cause of the Ukraine crisis, Russia’s authoritarian president, Vladimir Putin.
Boebert is notorious for making hateful, bigoted and false statements with potentially dangerous repercussions. On Jan. 6, 2021, shortly before a violent mob of Donald Trump supporters broke into the U.S. Capitol to try and overturn a democratic election, she tweeted, “Today is 1776.”
.Watch Ukraine's war hero president Volodymyr Zelensky win his country's version of Dancing With The Stars
Footage of Ukraine’s heroic president winning his country’s version of Strictly Come Dancing has gone viral on social media as the battle for Kharkiv raged, James Crisp writes.
Volodymyr Zelensky triumphed in the first series of Tantsi z zirkamy, or Dancing with the Stars, in 2006 when he was a television celebrity.
Highlights of the comedian turned war hero’s victory have been viewed more than two million times since being posted online on Sunday morning. At the same time, there was intense fighting in Ukraine's second city.
A snake-hipped Mr Zelensky is seen waltzing, performing the paso doble, quickstep and an emotionally charged blindfolded dance as he cuts the rug with professional partner Olena Shoptenko.
