Yesterday, Lauren Boebert put out a picture of her family (kids) all laden with guns, in front of the Christmas tree as, apparently, their e-Christmas card.
Usin’ your own kids as props. Disgustin’. https://t.co/q4KxZf9TMa

It certainly is disgusting and it would be disgusting even were it not for what happened last week in Michigan and in so many other schools.
This time, however, many mocked Lauren for… well, being Lauren Boebert. According to Mediaite:
“Tell me again where Christ said ‘use the commemoration of my birth to flex weapons for personal political gain’?” AOC wrote.
“lol @ all the years Republicans spent on cultural hysteria of society ‘erasing Christmas and it’s meaning, when they’re doing that fine all on their own,” she added.
In a mocking addendum, Ocasio-Cortez wrote “When you pose in front of a Christmas Tree and can name all those guns but can’t name the gifts of the Wise Men” with woozy-face emojis.
Tell me again where Christ said “use the commemoration of my birth to flex violent weapons for personal political gain”?

Some couldn’t afford to be as light-hearted:
Not to mention how they've also changed the meaning of the American flag. https://t.co/XXpv2Op5z7

There are not enough words of disgust for this picture except these children are victims. I feel for them.

Sad part is this is the ORIGINAL photo, but her publicist said is was in BAD taste at Christmastime, so they took off Lauren's horns and the kids hoods but left the guns!! pic.twitter.com/cWfljXvwQd
