Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO), a gun-toting supporter of the QAnon movement, is facing backlash after she was accused of live-tweeting House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) location during the attack on Capitol Hill last week.
Boebert shared the tweet soon after President Donald Trump’s supporters stormed the Capitol with deadly results.
“The Speaker has been removed from the chambers,” Boebert wrote.
After announcing the morning of the insurrection that she is part of the revolution, she literally tweets the potential location of the Speaker as the terrorists break into the Capitol. Please investigate @FBI @FBIWFO @CBI_Colorado pic.twitter.com/SKpTLyPjTu

Twitter users responded by calling for the freshman representative to be jailed and removed from Congress.
“@FBIWFO please arrest @laurenboabert for aiding and abetting those who were hunting down @SpeakerPelosi on Jan, 6th by tweeting the Speaker’s whereabouts,” one person responded. “She’s 5ft tall, 100 pounds and carries a Glock (and won’t stop telling everyone).”
“@SpeakerPelosi you need to have her removed with every fight that you have. This is nothing short of an attempt on your life,” another Twitter user agreed.

That is not complicit, that is accessory to attempted murder!
