U.S. House Rep Lauren Boebert (R-CO) today slammed the FBI for “sitting around and flagging tweets they don’t like” after the latest #TwitterFiles dump.
In a tweet, Boebert declared, “America needs a functioning FBI that investigates and dismantles violent gangs, sex traffickers, public corruption, terrorism, and more.”
“But sitting around and flagging tweets they don’t like? That ain’t it,” Boebert insisted.

Journalist Matt Taibbi, who released the latest #TwitterFiles dump, summed up his thoughts on what he had shared in a tweet,
“Instead of chasing child sex predators or terrorists, the FBI has agents — lots of them — analyzing and mass-flagging social media posts,” Taibbi explained.
Taibbi pointed out that it is “Not as part of any criminal investigation, but as a permanent, end-in-itself surveillance operation.”
“People should not be okay with this,” Taibbi asserted.

The FBI is a political arm of one party… it MUST be shut down, for the good of our nation.
How did an entire federal agency utterly loose its honor, its patriotism, instead adopting communist leftist and tyrannical sensibilities to persecute Americans exercising their right to free speech? This is something that we’d hear of happening in Mao’s China, or Stalin’s USSR or N Korea. But its here right now.
Representative Boebert needs to be among the first, after Jan 3rd, to put forth a bill in the House to defund the FBI. Perhaps cutting their numbers in half might help them better prioritize their actual responsibilities.
FBI responds… FU yes we did it there is nothing you can do about it oh and yes we will continue to do it. Also bring on your hearings we will just say are usual stuff.
