Liberal MSNBC Wants To Know Why Boebert Can't Be Like MTG

MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle had Rep. Lauren Boebert on as an 11th Hour guest Wednesday night, which was not just a terrific and timely guest booking, but also led to a fascinating interview that lasted nearly 15 minutes.Show more

Boebert is, of course, the Republican member of Congress who has become something of a face of the “rebel” faction of the House Republican caucus that is very much opposed to the election, which has led to a rudderless legislative body since it convened on January 3rd. Thus far, no Representative-elect has taken the oath of office due to Republican infighting, which was obviously the topic of conversation in this interview.

The whole interview is fascinating to watch, and to both Ruhle and Boebert’s credit, the ideological and partisan foes were remarkably respectful of one another. However, the discussion was less about policy and more about what the rebel faction truly wants out of the speakership. At one point, Ruhle flatly asked if her guest didn’t like McCarthy, to which Boebert went Godfather in her response, saying that it wasn’t personal.

But the most entertaining bit came when Ruhle asked why Boebert wasn’t more like her GOP colleague turned reported rival (frenemy), Marjorie Taylor Green.
