Far-right Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) has gone all in on her “pimp cane” insult of Rep. Al Green (D-Texas), who is Black.
Boebert last week sparked anger as she conveniently sidestepped her own previous rowdy conduct in the House chamber and ripped Green for heckling and pointing his cane toward Donald Trump during the president’s speech to a joint session of Congress.
“For him to go and shake his pimp cane at President Trump was absolutely abhorrent,” Boebert clutched her pearls at the time.
Boebert on Tuesday told Real America’s Voice: “I stand by it.”
She first questioned Green’s use of the cane. “I have never seen Al Green actually use his cane as a support to walk. I have seen him shake it for years all throughout the Capitol during any meeting that I’ve ever been present with him in.”
“If that gold-plated cane isn’t a pimp cane, I don’t know what is,” she continued.
Boebert then hit back at Rep. Chrissy Houlahan’s (D-Pa.) attempt to censure her over the remarks, which Houlahan described as “disparaging, derogatory, and racist toward another colleague.”
Boebert suggested: “Maybe Houla-who is really the racist here. Are only Blacks pimps? Is that what I’m hearing? Are there no cisgender, white pimps in America?”
