GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert’s Question About Gratitude Goes Viral For All The Wrong Reasons

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) on Tuesday asked people on Twitter to name “one thing you’re grateful for today,” and immediately drew an overwhelming number of mocking and withering responses.

Critics hit back at the QAnon-endorsing first-term lawmaker, who was backed by then-President Donald Trump during her 2020 campaign.

Many said they were grateful for Trump’s election loss.

Others expressed hope that Boebert, who sparked controversy last week when she concluded an ad attacking Democrats with the sound of a gun being fired and then locked and loaded, would only enjoy one term in Congress.

Opinion: Jameis Winston or Taysom Hill? Life without Drew Brees will test Saints’ creative mojo

For all of the scrambling going on these days with NFL quarterbacks, it may seem a bit weird that the man who just said farewell to the NFL’s all-time leading passer seems rather content to roll with his own version of musical chairs.

Sean Payton swears that the next New Orleans Saints quarterback is already in the building in the form of Jameis Winston or Taysom Hill. Or Taysom Hill or Jameis Winston. You might think in the wake of the big retirement announcement Sunday from Drew Brees that the Saints coach might put in a bid for disgruntled stars Russell Wilson or Deshaun Watson, but he is not giving off that vibe.

Maybe it’s the cost, because it certainly isn’t the talent. Trading for Wilson or Watson would mean blowing up the salary cap and probably a significant portion of the roster to pull it off. Then again, it’s not that Payton isn’t working with some prime talent anyway as this post-Brees quarterback quandary unfolds.
