Lauren Boebert.
“Thank you, Montrose! It was great to join you at the San Juan Shooting Range,” the Colorado congresswoman wrote on Twitter Saturday, beneath a series of photos taken at the facility.
The photo was posted one day after a suspect armed with an AR-15 style rifle reportedly shot a group of people “execution style” after charging into their home when they asked him to stop shooting his gun outside.
The victims have been identified as Sonia Argentina Guzman, 25; Diana Velazquez Alvarado, 21; Julisa Molina Rivera, 31; Jonathan Casarez, 18; and Daniel Enrique Laso, 9.
Those reacting to Boebert’s photo of the pro-gun shirt offered a litany of criticism, calling it “heartless,” while others called it “sickening” or “repulsive.”
Since Boebert was elected in 2020, theDonald Trumpally has made national news various times for how she has handled controversial issues such as gun laws and COVID restrictions. She is one of 147 Republican members of Congress who objected to certifying the electoral vote count after the deadlyJan. 6, 2021, attackon the U.S. Capitol.
Last June, Boebert thanked former President Trump for the “massive victories for religious liberty, Second Amendment rights, and the pro-life movement” that came out of theSupreme Court decisionsoverRoe v. Wade.
Boebert has been previously criticized forsending a pro-gun fundraising emailjust hours after a mass shooting in her home state.
The email from Boebert’s campaign reportedly appeared mere hours after a Boulder, Colorado, supermarket shooting that killed 10 people.
