Another GOP Grifter (Boebert)

That doesn't prove much. The Tonight Show producers for that segment admit that they have to approach a lot of people to get the responses they are looking for. The people who answered Leno's questions correctly, were never included... just the idiots that they could make fun of.
I meet enough people myself to know that there are plenty of folks like this out there. AND THEY VOTE 😬

That is ridiculous. Comments such as these are never accompanied with specifics.

You made a statement (paraphrasing here) that being a member of Congress should require an understanding of the Bill of Rights. If my paraphrasing or understanding of your intent is incorrect, please clarify.

So which group's understanding of the 2nd Amendment disqualifies the other group? Which group's understanding of the 10th Amendment disqualifies other groups? This is just to pick two of the more contentious amendments of the Bill of Rights which is hardly settled after 246 years.

A ridiculous comment was made: your original one stating the requirement should be an understanding of the Bill of Rights before being a member of Congress. Whose understanding is the litmus test? Yours? If so, I'll pass.

It is ridiculous to suggest that every member of Congress is as uneducated as Lauren Boebert. She did not even have a high school diploma until 2 years ago.

It is not a question of „educated“. It is a question of ignorance. Some of the most ignorant people in the world have a wall of diplomas. And ignorance is indeed well distributed in both sides of the political divide. We conservatives have contributed our fair share of idiots to the process and I am not proud of that. Trump was/is part of that tally

In her case, it is a problem of education. She dropped out of high school after getting knocked up, and only obtained a GED two years ago, while running for a seat in the House of Reps.
 
There are tons upon tons of them and I'll bet most of them are contained in the fringes. There also tons that can answer those questions
I will rest my case on the intelligence (or lack thereof) with the following true story
23 People Who Didn’t Know the Titanic was Real
Pick any sample size you want. The fact is, a plurality of people in any group are idiots

My parents who grew up in the Great Depression „only“ had their GEDs but were two of the smartest people I ever knew. It isn’t a piece of paper that makes one smart. (And yes, I do agree that Boebert is an idiot)

Still smarter than the Aholes that sat for 2 hours spread apart only to kiss all over each other after the address was over.

Now you’re moving the goalposts. The relative education levels of members of Congress may be a worthwhile debate, but that was not your original stance.

And equating educational level with intelligence, common sense, knowledge or just plain smarts is often a poor way to ”set the bar” as suggested. I wouldn’t give a plugged nickel for a significant portion of the kids graduating college today; many seem to not be able to find their own rear end if allowed to use both hands. Both of my grandfathers went no further than the fourth grade. One died financially comfortable and the other died wealthy and very well (self) educated. My father-in-law did not graduate from HS, but retired at the age of 51 from farming. He sells some timber whenever he feels like he wants anything. I would trust he knows far more about economics than AOC does.

Yep. If the entire lot were removed, I would be surprised if we missed any of them based on their merits.
Why must you include the whole lot of them when she is the subject of the thread? Whether you want to admit it or not, that's a rationalization for her. I don't mean to cast a disparaging opinion on your response, but that's your first inclination rather than agreeing that she's an idiot

Because (1) I have never talked to or even listened to her enough to pass judgement and (2) I would not take the word of people who I tend to disagree with about someone I honestly know little about.

It typically is my first inclination not believe any statement made by liberals because they almost invariably do not know what they think they know and a lot of their judgement is based on their feelings. Look at the statements made about gun control by those on the left on this board. The sheer amount of ignorance combined with the emotional aspect is enough to figuratively block the sun.

These anecdotal "dad" or "grandad" stories from the good ol' days are not germane to the situation with Boebert. She was born in 1986, and she did not finish high school until she was 33 years old. That is highly unusual for a person who doesn't appear to have any disabilities which might impair her ability to learn. She is also a member of Congress. It is fair to expect better than that from someone who wishes to help make laws in the United States of America.

Did you not see or read the actual words out of her mouth? My goodness man, it's her tweet from her device. It isn't anything other than HER words. There isn't any question what SHE said!

You're brainwashed to the point at which you dispute factual events

No, I have not. And I fail to see how that leads you to shriekingly conclude I am brainwashed.
However, I will now go read the tweet, since that now is apparently a conclusive substitute for an aptitude test.

I actually think her speech is recorded too

You were ready to dismiss this factual event. That's why I claimed you are brainwashed. Your initial claim was one of pure, unsubstantiated rhetoric in the face of fact
