WATCH: House Debate Stalls as Lauren Boebert Scrambles to Find Amendment on Phone

[Ohio Joe]

AHouse debate on the 2024 Agriculture and FDA Spending bill was stalled on Wednesday after Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) struggled to find her own amendment on her phone.

After Boebert was recognized on the House floor to discuss her amendment to “reduce the salary of the Deputy Under Secretary of the Food and Nutrition Service of the Department of Agriculture, Stacy Dean, to $1,” the camera panned to the congresswoman and showed her looking down at her phone.

“Madame Chair, one moment,” said Boebert, still looking down at her phone after a pause, as she scrambled to find the amendment.

Following another awkward pause, Boebert said, “My apologies, I do not have amendment number 77 in front of me,” before attempting to stall for more time.

“Um, but Madame Chair I do [pause] urge [pause] adoption of [pause] amendment 77 [pause] to be considered to decrease the salary of, um, the deputy secretary— deputy secretary. [pause] I reserve,” Boebert declared.

So... That Boebert is a bumbling idiot and embarresses herself as well as our fine State of Colorado on an almost daily basis is not new and not what really caused me to post this article. It's the bolded part of the article... WTF? 1$? And this amendment passed. Even worse, it's only one of a number of batshit crazy amendments that passed (mercifully, a lot of batshit crazy amendments failed). You can see them here:

The magaloons get more and more crazy by the day and have no serious plan to govern.

Reduce her salary to one dollar. This is the most childish thing I’ve ever seen in Congress I think. People who are woke shouldn’t get a salary?
