Rep. Lauren Boebert Uses Story About Giving Birth In Truck To Attack Parental Leave
Huff PostLOADING ERROR LOADING Rep. Lauren Boebert argued against parental leave in a YouTube rant in which she recalled giving birth in a truck and then attacked Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg with a homophobic dig. Boebert joined the right-wing chorus of criticism against Buttigieg for taking paid leave to care for the twins he welcomed with husband Chasten, alleging he was neglecting his Cabinet duties as supply chain snarls plagued the country — even though Buttigieg said he was on hand “24/7” for emergencies. “While the country fell into one of the worst supply-chain crises since 1979, the guy in charge of it all, Mayor Pete, was on a two-month maternity, paternity, whatever the heck you want to call it, leave,” the conspiracy theory-endorsing lawmaker said in her latest “Bullet Points with Lauren Boebert” monologue. He was trying to figure out how to chest feed,” she added, echoing a similarly offensive comment made by Fox News personality Tucker Carlson.
