Lauren Boebert faces backlash after criticizing Congressman Al Green for shaking his cane during a speech by Donald Trump, which she called "abhorrent." Critics argue her comments reflect racism and ableism as Green uses the cane for mobility, just like many constituents who rely on Medicaid. Though Green's actions were meant to advocate for social benefits, Boebert’s remarks drew attention to her own past behavior during Trump’s presidency, prompting accusations of hypocrisy for her comparative defense amidst a broader discussion on decorum and racism in politics.
For him to go and shake his pimp cane at President Trump was absolutely abhorrent.
Al Green is a politician who uses a tool to help him walk, just like many of his constituents who are dependent on Medicaid assistance.
Democrats would never abandon the fight to make sure every American has a safe, healthy, and financially secure life.
Then, Greene and Boebert's actions were inaccurately portrayed as full disruptions of the State of the Union.
