Lauren Boebert got absolutely decimated by Sean Hannity on Wednesday evening after she and her fellow Freedom Caucus members had spent the previous 48 hours making the GOP the laughingstock of the country. Hannity repeatedly asked questions that Boebert refused to answer, making Hannity more and more irate at the lawmaker. Farron Cousins explains what happened.

On Wednesday evening, Lauren Boebert went on Sean Hannity's program on Fox News for what I guess she probably thought was gonna be a friendly interview, but it turned out to be an onslaught of attacks from Sean Hannity against Lauren Boebert. So without giving too much away, here is a, a partial clip of Hannity just absolutely laying into Lauren Boebert. Take a look.
You said complimentary things about President Trump needs to tell Kevin McCarthy that, sir, you do not have the votes. It's time to withdraw. Let me turn the tables. Congresswoman Kevin McCarthy is 202 three votes. Your side has 20. So if I'm gonna use your words and your methodology and your math, uh, isn't a time for you to pack it in, in your side to pack it in considering he has over 200 and you have 20.
Sean, I, I understand the frustration, I promise you, but I'm
Not frustrated. You didn't. My question, and
We are hearing, we are hearing
From I'm
Not frustrated who are still voting with Kevin McCarthy.
You're not answering my
Question. Supportive of what we're doing, and they're cheering us on. So there are more for us than are against us, and they are waiting for Kevin Toka. Okay, Congresswoman, you know, the American congresswoman certainly frustrated by,
I'm frustrated by you not answering a direct question. You said to President Trump, you, you said earlier today that President Trump needs to tell Kevin McCarthy does not have the, you don't have the votes. We
Need to come up
With a, can I finish
Candidate to elect a
Speaker? Can I finish of the house? Finish? You don't have the votes and it's time to withdraw. He has 203. Your side has 20. Why is it time for him to withdraw and not you when he has so many more votes?
Well, Sean, he needs two 18 and he does not have two 18. We've been trying to work, work
This out. It's a simple question, Lauren. What, what are, what are you trying to do? Right? What do you want? Lauren Bobert is one of the individuals, of course, who is objecting to Kevin McCarthy becoming the speaker. She is prolonging the insanity within the House of Representatives, and she has also received many concessions from Kevin McCarthy. You know, she said, I have these demands. He's met those demands. She still won't vote for him. So what do you want? Right? And I love the fact, you know, if you, if you ever see the whole clip of that, which you, uh, you can find it in the link in the description of this video, um, he repeatedly asked her, what do you want? What do you want? And she can't answer the question, which is also something I've been pointing out for quite a long time. Now, these objectors to Kevin McCarthy don't really know why they're objecting to Kevin McCarthy.
They can't answer questions as to why they're causing this chaos. They just know that, well, we, we have to do it right. It's just, it's who we are. Honestly. It's the, uh, the frog carrying the scorpion across the river. Scorpion hops on the frog's back, and the frog says, you gotta promise not to sting me. Scorpion says, okay, halfway through the scorpion stings the frog. And the frog says, why'd you do that? Now, we're both going to die. The scorpion says, because it's just what I do. And that's what these Republican obstruction is due. It doesn't matter if they're obstructing democratic legislation or a Democratic president or their own fellow Republicans. They are the scorpion on the frog's back, and they're going to obstruct for the sake of obstruction because that's all they know how to do.
And Han called her out for it, and rightfully so, because what he did, and, and I hate to give too much credit to Sean Hannity here, but what he did was he exposed her. He exposed her as the fraud that she is, as the idiot that she is. He showed his entire audience that she doesn't even know what she is doing. Clips like that are very, very damaging to people like Lauren Bobber. I mean, her base is Fox News's audience. And when that same audience, that base sees that she is putting up a fight just for the sake of putting up a fight, and she doesn't even know why, she can't answer a very simple question of what do you want? Or who do you want instead? Like, what would make you happy?
