Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert employed a new tactic during a town hall on Wednesday night to avoid being grilled by her constituents on President Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s gutting of the federal government.

Boebert, 38, stuck to the party line, branding Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency handling of highly sensitive information as “careful and responsible.”

The congresswoman held a telephone town hall on Wednesday to discuss her work in the state’s 4th district and answer live and submitted questions from her constituents.

The funny thing is they think of themselves is so brave and tough. When they’re such obvious cowards.
