To no one’s surprise (perhaps only in why this type of incident took so long to happen), Lauren Boebert got into an altercation that allegedly became physical over the weekend. The hullabaloo was with her ex-hubby, Jayson, at a local Colorado restaurant, Miner’s Claim—police were eventually called to the scene as things grew heated and ugly.
Jayson reported to police that she physically attacked him, punching him multiple times. Boebert invoked self-defense but also stated that no hands were thrown.
Police were called—no one was arrested.
Since the breaking of this sordid story, poor Miner’s Claim has seen an avalanche of phony reviews.
I'm not sure how I feel about this, as I fear the restaurant is being lampooned for something Boebert and her hubby engaged in, without their consent, on their premises.
Even so, some of the skewering was hilarious—again, sorry Miner’s Claim—as reported in both Newsweek and Rawstory, respectively:
Miner’s Claim was flooded with Google reviews after unconfirmed reports that she publicly punched her ex-husband Jayson, which Boebert denies, went viral.
“Great Cosplay restaurant - Rep Boebert pretends to be decent human,” one review reads. “Enjoy ur elected officials, Colorado.”
“Come by if you want to see your pathetic excuse of a congressional representative get into a public fight with her husband,” reads one review.
“Come for the exquisite fine dining and drink specials, but stay for the Congressional Fight Club,” reads another. “There is a 9/10 chance you will be interviewed by CNN or TMZ about what you saw.”
The eatery did not respond to a request for comment from Newsweek, which was first to report the reviews.
I mean, damn homie!
It’s stuff like this that makes me even more resistant to engaging in any kind of reconciliation with MAGA. While darkly humorous in some ways, these kinds of MAGA antics are tearing at the very fabric of American society and making the once respected U S of A into a global punchline.
I am sure comrade Putin finds all this amusing, but really, this is no laughing matter.
2024 has barely begun, and already it looks like it is gonna be a humdinger of a year, as MAGA trolling and tomfoolery show no signs of abating.
Hold on to your hats and vote blue no matter who!
