I’m infinitely disappointed that the response was not: only if you’re going to lie during the interview
Republicans like to use the term "fact-check" as if it's unfair and biased.
Fact-checking is only a problem if what you're saying is untrue. That says a lot about the Republican party.
It remains so absurd to me that so many Americans just accept that their political party is afraid of facts. That verifiable truth is a terrifying "agenda." You cannot convince me that anything would disqualify the Republican party in these people's minds, because denying reality itself is already a bridge too far for any rational mind.
QAnon and Trump taught Republicans that its totally ok to live in an alternate reality where they are always correct and never have to admit to being wrong, or if they do want to admit to being wrong, its because of a vast elaborate conspiracy.
They live in a delusional fantasy land. Its basically mass hallucination/psychosis in service of a cult leader, but because there's a lot of them, its not seriously considered a mental illness.
Religion taught them the alternate reality, from birth. All Republicans have done is exploit the logical weaknesses that religion embeds in the population.
It's not a coincidence that the most religious are the most unwavering Republicans. There is a long and well documented history of their bloodthirsty nationalism.
Yup. Religion poisons people's minds and destroys their ability to think rationally and critically.
She probably doesn’t listen to CPR news because all the big words scare her.
"facts don't care about your feelings", as a piece of shit once offgassed
"When you're obviously lying? Yes, yes I am."
Proud to be a supporter of CPR...
Boebert mentioned her disappointment with the “bias” of Warner’s questions at that point. “It’s very unfortunate that we are having this time together to communicate policy and every one of your questions is so far skewed and is so partisan,” Boebert said.
Why are you talking about reality and facts when I try to lie about my party?!
ahhhhhhhh fml she is so not equipped
here's the full interview
edit: you can find it on the CPR web site at your leisure

thanks for that. i didn't mean to prevent the public from reading about Lauren Boebert.
When you're sparring with "kid gloves" Ryan Warner, you're out of your league.
I'm a Republican who does her Own Research and Fact Checking is LIBRUL PROPAGANDA!
