President Biden mocked Rep. Lauren Boebert (Colo.) on Wednesday during remarks out West on clean energy manufacturing, making her the latest Republican to get called out in his recent speeches.
The president, in remarks in Albuquerque, N.M., discussed how climate change is leading to jobs being created to fix the problem, highlighting that a CS Wind plant is being constructed in Pueblo, Colo.
“Like in Colorado, where CS Wind broke ground on what will be the world’s largest wind tower manufacturing plant. And coincidentally, CS Wind is Congresswoman Lauren Boebert — you know, the very quiet Republican lady — it’s in her district,” Biden said.
He added that Boebert, “along with every other Republican, voted against this bill — and it’s making all this possible. And she railed against its passage. But, that’s OK, she’s welcoming it now.”
The investment in the plant came in part through funding from the Inflation Reduction Act, Democrats’ massive climate and tax bill that every Republican in Congress voted against.
The president has been mocking GOP members who have touted new projects in their districts after they voted against the legislation that provided funding for them.
He also, and not for the first time, picked on Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) for touting $1.4 billion in federal funding that Alabama is set to receive for expanded broadband internet access, despite the senator voting against it in 2021.
“I thought, wait a minute, didn’t he rail against that for a long long time? I was inclined to go down and help him celebrate, but I decided not to,” Biden said Wednesday.
The president added that he promised when he ran in 2020 that he was going to be president for all Americans, highlighting funding in red states and red districts.
Boebert in June forced a House vote on impeaching Biden over his handling of the U.S.-Mexico border and immigration policy. Her impeachment resolution included articles for abuse of power and dereliction of duty.
The White House at the time accused House Republicans of staging “political stunts” with such a vote.
