Biden Blasts Boebert During Speech in Colorado: ‘One of the Leaders of This Extreme MAGA Movement’

'Congresswoman... Boebert's district," Biden said with a pause, laughing lightly and then making the sign of the cross while looking at the audience

President Joe Biden continued to target Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Co., on Wednesday during his speech in Pueblo, Colorado — in the Republican's district.

"The historic investment we're celebrating today is in Congresswoman... Boebert's district," Biden said with a pause, laughing lightly and then making the sign of the cross while looking at the audience.

Biden appears to stumble a bit trying to pronounced Boebert's name before he makes his sign of the cross.

"She's one of the leaders of this extreme MAGA movement," Biden continued. "She along with every single Republican colleague voted against the law that made these investments and jobs possible and that's not hyperbole. It's a fact."

The president continued to mention how Boebert called one of his "Bidenomics" policies a massive failure.

Biden then joked to the crowd: "You all know you're part of a massive failure?"

The White House prefaced Biden's hits announcing he would “highlight how self-described MAGA Republicans like Representative Lauren Boebert are threatening those investments, jobs, and opportunities" in his Wednesday speech.

In response to questions about said comments, Boebert said in a statement that "instead of touting the poorly named Inflation Reduction Act... Joe Biden should work with me to get my Pueblo Jobs Act signed into law that will create 1,000 new jobs in Pueblo and help revitalize Southern Colorado's economy."

She also argued families in her district were "being crushed by so-called 'Bidenomics'" and blamed Biden for growing debt and inflation.

He focused on "Bidenomics," more specifically on investments in clean energy manufacturing in Colorado and the jobs the industry is creating in the region.
