Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) has slammed Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot as a “hack” as the heated back and forth between the two continues to escalate on Twitter.
Boebert has fired back after Lightfoot attempted to rally protests against the Supreme Court by falsely claiming that overturning Roe v. Wade is an attack on “the LGBTQ+ community.”
“To my friends in the LGBTQ+ community—the Supreme Court is coming for us next,” Lightfoot tweeted.
“This moment has to be a call to arms.
“We will not surrender our rights without a fight—a fight to victory!”

Lauren Boebert said: “Lori Lightfoot just issued a ‘call to arms’ to her fellow radicals directly on Twitter.
“While people are being slain in her streets on a daily basis, all she can worry about is endangering more lives with her reckless words.
“Shame on her. She should resign.”
Boebert doubled down today calling Lightfoot an “insurrectionist.”

“Excuse me. Insurrection is your thing. Not ours,” Lightfoot shot back.
Lauren then took off the kid gloves and exposed Lightfoot:
“6 killed and 18 wounded in your city this past weekend,” she said.
“Nearly 200 murders this year so far. Go fix your city, hack.”

Lightfoot said earlier:
“Fundamentally, it reaffirms Chicago as a welcoming city, a city that doesn’t discriminate and a city that’s going to stand with women.
“If you look around Chicago, we’ve got a number of states that have the so-called trigger laws that would ban abortion upon the reverse of Roe. So we’ve seen a substantial increase already.
“And we’re expecting, frankly, an explosion of new cases from women in Wisconsin, Missouri, potentially Michigan, Indiana. I think the list is long. And Chicago is going to be an oasis in the Midwest, and we’ve got to be ready.
“So this is a start and not an ending, but it is absolutely a time for us to rally together and make sure that we are reunited and not turning back the clock on women’s lives.
“Our democracy is imperiled when people believe, for whatever reason, that they have the right to take up arms or violence against people with whom they disagree.
“What we can do is rally and organize and use the tools of our democracy to make sure that we’re safeguarding the rights of all of us.
“That’s why this Justice For All Pledge is so critically important for us as a city.”
