Lauren Boebert slams GOP colleagues over Steve Bannon imprisonment, Internet says 'you’re barking up the wrong tree'

WASHINGTON, DC: Rep Lauren Boebert has blasted her Republican colleagues following the incarnation of Steve Bannon.

Taking to X, she wrote, “I sure wish my GOP colleagues cared as much about Steve Bannon’s freedom as the Dems do about his imprisonment.”

Steve Bannon begins prison term despite GOP efforts to intervene

Steve Bannon went to jail on July 1.

Steve Bannon has been sentenced to four months in jail after being found guilty of two counts of contempt of Congress for refusing to provide evidence and testimony to the House Select Committee investigating the 2021 Capitol Building attack.

He was incarcerated at the federal prison in Danbury, Connecticut, despite efforts by Speaker Mike Johnson and other House GOP leaders to prevent it. Johnson even planned to file a legal brief in support of Bannon.

In June, three GOP leaders revealed, as reported by Politico, “It will withdraw certain arguments made by the House earlier in the litigation about the organization of the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6 Attack on the US Capitol during the prior Congress.”
