"I find it hard to believe that you're lecturing us about peaceful protest," he said. "Look at what happened, January 6, here at the Capitol. The attack on our democracy, that is an insurrection."
"You don't understand what insurrection is," Pritzker said, "when people are trying to overturn an election here at the Congress - You were here, they were attacking you by the way." "You're the one condoning pardoning of people who attacked police right here at our Capitol."
"Boom.Boebert dares to cry "insurrection" - while defending the mob that beat cops with flagpoles on Jan 6?The hypocrisy burns brighter than her IQ.- AnatolijUkraine (@AnatoliUkraine)"
A Congressional House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing examined state sanctuary policies as three Democratic governors answered questions. Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker and Rep. Lauren Boebert engaged in a heated exchange after Boebert called Los Angeles immigration protests an insurrection. Pritzker invoked the January 6 attack on the Capitol, calling that event the attack on democracy and an insurrection. Boebert repeatedly spoke over him, asserting that Americans exercising protest rights constituted insurrection while downplaying January 6 attackers. Pritzker accused Boebert of condoning pardons for those who assaulted police. Social media users praised Pritzker and mocked Boebert.
