Controversial Republican House Rep. Lauren Boebert is getting buckets of attention right now — and absolutely none of it is the good kind.
Recently, embattled Ukrainian President Voldomyr Zelenskyy made an appearance before United States Congress as his country continues to fight against invading Russian forces under dictator Vladimir Putin. Boebert earned herself some bad attention and serious backlash among the American people and in the media for her blatant and frankly disgusting display of disrespect towards the world leader when she refused to applaud or even stand in recognition of the Ukrainian president during his visit and appearance.
There’s pretty much only one place that’s giving Lauren “good” attention and praise for her actions and, as an American citizen, it’s quite literally the worst of the worst.
In the days since her disgusting display of disrespect, Colorado’s Lauren Boebert has earned her self a troublesome, albeit devout fan — Russian State Television.

Kremlin State TV, a participant in Putin’s brutally bloody invasion and attack against Ukraine and its people that’s now been ongoing for more than 300 days, hailed the GOP princess as “brave” for refusing to show Ukrainian President Zelensky even a shred of basic, human respect during his appearance before US Congress.
The Kremlin broadcast went on to give stomach-churning shout-outs to the likes of Fox talking head Tucker Carlson and Lauren’s scandal-ridden fellow House Rep. Matt Gaetz — both of whom publicly expressed their distaste and dislike for Zelensky, making them prime candidates for Russian State heroism.
Carlson used one of his recent Fox segments to have a bizarre meltdown over the Ukrainian president’s choice of attire for his appearance before Congress, raging, “As far as we know, no one’s ever addressed the United States Congress in a sweatshirt before, but they love him much more than they love you,” before going on to compare Zelensky to “the manager of a strip club” as he stood before American lawmakers and congresspeople and begged for additional aide for his war-torn nation.
Russian state-run television wasted no time in co-opting Tucker’s insults, referring to Zelensky as “a man in cargo pants,” and running clips of Carlson’s segment in which the Fox host openly mocked members of Congress for “clapping like seals” following Zelensky’s address.
Russian state TV relies on Tucker Carlson, Josh Hawley, Matt Gaetz and Lauren Boebert to promote their talking points that America is sick and tired of supporting Ukraine. https://t.co/GNu7y2UTGn
