Boebert Defends Racist Pimp Comment After Backlash
Following Rep. Al Green’s ejection from a joint session of Congress for protesting President Trump, Rep. Lauren Boebert controversially labeled Green’s cane a “pimp cane,” a remark she later defended. This drew condemnation from Rep. Chrissy Houlahan, prompting Boebert to question whether only Black men could be pimps. Boebert’s comments were criticized in light of her own past disruptions during presidential addresses, including heckling President Biden. Boebert, however, distinguished her actions from Green’s, arguing that he was given multiple warnings before his removal.
