Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert's House Mic is CUT during attack claiming Democrats are 'sacrificing American families at the alter of climate change' and using the 'federal government for armed robbery'
Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert had her mic cut on the House floor Friday as she blasted the
Democrats'
Inflation Reduction Act.
'You are sacrificing American families at the altar of
climate change. You're using the power of the federal government for armed robbery,' Boebert insisted.
It includes a number of green energy and healthcare provisions and provides funding to bolster the workforce at the Internal Revenue Service.
The Colorado Republican argued that encouraging inflation data was evidence that the bill didn't need to be passed.
'Mr Speaker, isn't it so? Joe Biden himself said inflation rates is at 0 percent. So what the heck are we doing here? Why are we passing the so-called Inflation Reduction Act if it's at O percent,' Boebert said.
'The gentlewoman's time has expired,' the chair said, banging a gavel, interrupting the Colorado congresswoman.
Boebert continued to plow through her speech.
'And it does the exact opposite of what Americans need right now. This is just another con game by the Democrats calling something one thing and saying another. This is making the IRS - with armed agents - larger than the Pentagon, the State Department, the FBI,' she continued, shouting over the gavel and other members yelling.
Her mic was eventually cut.
