    When are people going to understand it’s not about being right. She is teeing up soundbites for right wing media to clip and talk about “how brave she is for tackling the corrupt EPA.”

      We are just enjoying stupidity being laughed at publicly instead of having to hide it for ‘decorum’. The reason she is being stupid is not relevant.

          The journalist does, probably. But this isn’t an opinion piece where they get to characterize what they assume her corrupt intentions to be. They’re reporting on the exchange, which all happened as described. They threw in his response, where he pointed out that she’s doing it for sound bites while praising and working with the EPA behind closed doors. What more can the journalist say? This isn’t a twitter post…but it is the independent. Which isn’t exactly much better. But it still needs to have the appearance of journalistic standards

            The entire reason this headline exists is because it gets clicks and it makes people feel better than Boebert (which doesn’t take much admittedly). It makes us feel like we accomplished something and that she will be laughed out of the room, yet despite all the mockery and laughing she is still here after years.

            I don’t know if you have worked in a newsroom or as a journalist, but no, it is not as prescriptive as you’re making it out to be. Especially not the independent

      So lmk when you plan to stand against Biden, he literally has crossed all his morals so clearly has none left, and/or how do you plan to defend him?
