Cartoon Villains Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Taylor Greene Vote Against Cancer Patients

preview

There are a lot of horrible people in the Republican Party, but on Thursday, freshman representatives Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Taylor Greene made the case that they are the absolute worst. But wait, you say, how could these two possibly top what we already know about them, which is that Boebert is a – who, hours after the Colorado supermarket shooting, sent a fundraising email warning that Joe Biden is going to take away people’s guns, and, in the case of Greene, that she’s a who has , , trans people are pedophiles, and suggested that Muslims shouldn’t be allowed to ? And the answer is that this week, Boebert and Greene decided to come out against cancer patients.Yes, on Thursday the duo were the only members of the House of Representatives to vote a bill that would reauthorize the National Marrow Donor Program, which helps match bone marrow donors and cord blood units with people who have leukemia and other diseases.

In a statement to CNN, Boebert that saving people’s lives is not worth adding to the national debt. “This bill added hundreds of millions of dollars to the national debt, while not receiving a CBO score or going through the committee process,” she said. (She did not mention the fact that she is all for adding to the national debt when it comes to .) For her part, Greene’s claimed that “Nothing in this bill prevents the funding of aborted fetal tissue by taxpayers,” and on Friday she , “The Fake News Media is attacking me for being TOO PRO-LIFE (100%).” Yes, she’s 100% PRO-LIFE except in the case of the lives of people dying of cancer, in which case her official policy is “fuck ’em.” (She’s also not too about the lives of victims of mass shootings, for that matter.)This content can also be viewed on the site it from.This content can also be viewed on the site it from.If you would like to receive the Levin Report in your inbox daily, click&nbsp;&nbsp;to subscribe.More Great Stories From Vanity Fair&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;— of an OnlyFans Model and Her Über-Wealthy Boyfriend— Wyoming Tells Donald Trump Jr. to — A Is Upending the Hamptons Social Order— How a Group of Rich Memphians During Capitol Attack— Prosecutors Are in Trump Investigations— Republicans Brave Plan to Stop Mass Shootings: — of Female Journalists Puts News Outlets to the Test— Six Photographers Share Images From — From the Archive: , the Ballad of Richard Jewell— Serena Williams, Michael B.
