Boebert “Stands By” Racist “Pimp Cane” Comments

“Rep. Houla-whatever. Houlahan, houla-ha, she has decided that she was getting far too many attacks from her base for voting against the censure of Rep. Al Green and decided to attack me for referencing his cane as a pimp cane.

“And Grant, I stand by it. 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 capital during any meeting i’ve ever been present with him in and if that gold-plated cane isn’t a pimp cane I don’t know what is.

“But maybe Houla-who is really the racist here. Are only Blacks pimps? Is that what I’m hearing? Are there no cisgendered white pimps in America? Listen, It was a little slight to his cane and his gesture, his cane that was wielded at the president of the United States and if she wants to censure me over it, go ahead and try girlfriend.

“I have the American people who will show up, who will donate and re-elect me.” – Lauren Boebert, referring to the censure motion introduced Monday by Rep. Chrissy Houlahan.

Lauren Boebert says the censure motion against her is unjust after she said that Rep. Al Green carries a “pimp cane”, and argues that it wasn’t a racist comment:
