Boebert yells at Republicans on House floor after censure of Democrat fails

Lauren Boebert criticized fellow Republicans after a failed censure against Stacey Plaskett, linked to Epstein texts released by the House Oversight Committee last week.

  • On Nov. 18, Rep. Lauren Boebert raged on the House floor, yelling `This is why America hates us` after a 209-214-3 censure vote failed against Del. Stacey Plaskett, non-voting delegate.
  • The House Oversight Committee released 20,000 documents last week showing Del. Stacey Plaskett appeared in messages with Jeffrey Epstein in February 2019, prompting Boebert to push for a discharge petition to force Epstein file disclosure.
  • Boebert asked the Speaker to explain alleged `back-end deals` she said cover up public corruption as Anna Paulina Luna tried to raise an inquiry and Plaskett represents U.S. Virgin Islands linked to Epstein's Little St. James.
  • The vote exposed visible fractures within House Republicans, revealing another clash between Rep. Lauren Boebert and Republican leadership this month as Congress pressured the Justice Department for Epstein-linked documents.
  • Days later, President Donald Trump turned 180 degrees and urged passage, and the bill approved by both chambers will now head to the president's desk after a discharge petition forced a vote.
