MSNBC All In host and esteemed beta male Chris Hayes smeared Republican Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (CO) on Tuesday night because she dared to display her guns as decorations during a virtual congressional hearing. Comparing her to the likes of Osama Bin Laden and communist revolutionaries in Cuba, he claimed her display was an “implicit threat” of politically motived violence. He also suggested all in the GOP were “now signaling they retain the right to use violence to overthrow the government at any time.”
In teasing the pathetic segment, Hayes flashed an image of Boebert and her background, which featured two ARs, a shotgun, and her famous Glock. “Do you notice something different with the bookshelves? Not just a stockpile of weapons sitting behind her, there is a deeper meaning to this image. An implicit threat, too,” he declared.
Besides the laughable idea that four weapons constituted a “stockpile,” Hayes whined about how Boebert had “built her political identity around guns” and allowed people to carry them in the restaurant she owned back home. “Boebert vowed to carry a Glock around D.C. and on Capitol Hill. She released a video to make sure that we all knew it,” he huffed.
The ignorant MSNBC host then went on to scoff at the idea that she would want the guns to defend her family and her four boys, something millions of Americans own guns for:
Last Thursday, she zoomed into a virtual congressional hearing with just a mess of guns piled on the bookshelf behind her. AR-15-style rifles, a handgun just laying across a bunch of books. Boebert, who’s raising four young boys later tweeted the guns are not in storage, but are, quote, “ready for use.”
Apparently, she just leaves them out because she fears she may need to fire multiple rounds of ammo for someone who comes into her — den?
“You know, lots of people immediately noted that the use of guns in that way as props and the implicit threat that comes with them has a, you know, long, not necessarily great history among various movements around the globe,” he opined.
According to Hayes, Boebert was just like former Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden because he had posed with a gun in front of books. “Osama bin Laden, for one liked to pose in front of a bookshelf with a gun prominently displayed. The Irish Republican Army would display guns in its propaganda posters and its murals. Cuban revolutionaries, they posed with guns all the time, too,” he said.
After noting “no single side of the spectrum has a monopoly on this aesthetic,” he accused the Congresswoman of undermining “democratic” norms.
“A movement or faction that puts images of guns, the celebration of guns front and center in its political aesthetic, is a movement who’s engaging in something other than what we might call the normal rhetoric of elected democratic politics,” he sneered.
He added: “You can’t escape the meaning of it. It communicates that they’re committed to, or at the very least open to the possibility of violent overthrow of the government or the existing order. And now, in the Republican Party, it seems like it’s becoming common and unremarkable.”
If that wasn’t enough, Hayes went on to prove his ignorance of the Second Amendment and its origins (click “expand”):
Over decades, the right has built up this entire ideology around the Second Amendment rooted in, frankly, the fact the ridiculous idea that the U.S. government itself denied itself a monopoly on the legitimate use of force; because the founders had gone through revolution themselves.
And the history just doesn’t bear that out, it’s not true. Not now and not during, for instance, the Whiskey Rebellion way back in 1794 when President George Washington got into his old uniform and got on a horse and sent in troops to violently suppress a violent tax protest.
Hayes was obviously trying to gaslight his viewers with revisionist history. We know the intent of the Founding Fathers because we have their personal writings.
Only when he moved on to his panel discussion did Hayes admit that Democrats like John Kerry and Senator Joe Manchin (WV) had posed with guns. But this time was different.
The smears against Congresswoman Boebert and the Republican Party were made possible because of lucrative sponsorships from Ancestry and Febreze. Their contact information is linked so you can tell them about the terrible content they fund.

8:14:53 p.m. EasternCHRIS HAYES: All right. Did you happen to see this the other day? This image. This is what it looked like when freshman Republican congressman Lauren Boebert just Zoomed into a committee hearing the other day. That is not a standard Zoom background behind her. That’s custom made, that’s actually her background. Do you notice something different with the bookshelves? Not just a stockpile of weapons sitting behind her, there is a deeper meaning to this image. An implicit threat, too. I’ll explain right after this. Stick around.

HAYES: It’s been unclear for some time what exactly it is that Donald Trump Jr. does, but like his father, he does love to make content. This week he posted a video of himself ranting about teachers unions while pointedly standing in front of a wall full of guns. The whole thing had a “here are my thoughts from my bunker” vibe. But as weird as this image is, it’s kind of becoming a trend on the right.
Republican Congresswoman Lauren Boebert, owner of Shooters Grill in Rifle, Colorado where guns are welcome and seemingly encouraged on the premises, has built her political identity around guns. Boebert vowed to carry a Glock around D.C. and on Capitol Hill. She released a video to make sure that we all knew it.
Last Thursday, she Zoomed into a virtual congressional hearing with just a mess of guns piled on the bookshelf behind her. AR-15-style rifles, a handgun just laying across a bunch of books. Boebert, who’s raising four young boys later tweeted the guns are not in storage, but are, quote, “ready for use.”
Apparently, she just leaves them out because she fears she may need to fire multiple rounds of ammo for someone who comes into her — den?
You know, lots of people immediately noted that the use of guns in that way as props and the implicit threat that comes with them has a, you know, long, not necessarily great history among various movements around the globe.
Osama bin Laden, for one liked to pose in front of a bookshelf with a gun prominently displayed. The Irish Republican Army would display guns in its propaganda posters and its murals. Cuban revolutionaries, they posed with guns all the time, too. And no single side of the spectrum has a monopoly on this aesthetic. I mean, you can see it all over the world. It is unquestionably the aesthetic of armed struggle, of revolution, or insurrection.
A movement or faction that puts images of guns, the celebration of guns front and center in its political aesthetic, is a movement who’s engaging in something other than what we might call the normal rhetoric of elected democratic politics.
You can’t escape the meaning of it. It communicates that they’re committed to, or at the very least open to the possibility of violent overthrow of the government or the existing order. And now, in the Republican Party, it seems like it’s becoming common and unremarkable.

Over decades, the right has built up this entire ideology around the Second Amendment rooted in, frankly, the fact the ridiculous idea that the U.S. government itself denied itself a monopoly on the legitimate use of force; because the founders had gone through revolution themselves.
And the history just doesn’t bear that out, it’s not true. Not now and not during, for instance, the Whiskey Rebellion way back in 1794 when President George Washington got into his old uniform and got on a horse and sent in troops to violently suppress a violent tax protest.
Many Republicans are now signaling they retain the right to use violence to over throw the government at any time, and that’s actually the core of part of their political principles in the Second Amendment and they’re willing to brandish that claim as a threat in pursuit of their political aims.
And it’s not some academic thing, right? I mean, right now the threat of violence and menace hangs over our collective political life.

This guy is a jackass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So is the entire democratic Party Mike.
Call them the demons that they are
There is not one member of the dems that does not follow satan they are in fact satan worshipping DEMONcrats, there are several that even admitted that they are demon worshippers and the rest that claim to be catholic only do so in name only. Every demon rep and sinator all push for abortion which Flys in the face of most if not religions. These so called congress creatures are all demons.
Very true Mystic Wolf. What I would like to know is what is MSNBC’s stand on democratic support of BLM and Antifa both of which are terrorist groups and paid for by the democratic leader George Soros. Jan. 6 assault in DC was the results of them being involved. Where was their chastisement of the looting, burning and murdering of American’s and their business? I saw none from them, just praise, support of it or no comments at all. Everything is OK as long as it dose not involve conservative patriots.
Too much to say about little pukes like him
Mike you’re being too polite calling hayes a jackass. Morans like hayes should be thrown into the military and into some war and then let’s hear about guns then.
michael m. – unfortunately if he(?) were to survive basic training and ended up in any conflict zone his overt cowardice would VERY likely get a lot of good men and women killed. I sure wouldn’t want the likes of him(?) covering my six or even being a member of a neighborhood watch for that matter. He(?) would end up turning in Law Abiding Citizens as threats………………
Assholes like Chris Hays are the problem now.
the biggest threats to this country are red china (along with everyone they OWN), the hairy kamel, piglosi and schumer the tumor
I want the freedom to read what I want, freedom to say what I want, freedom to think for myself, freedom to like or dislike anything or any body and most important freedom from tyranny.
Freedom is just what the party of demons znd satan do not want us to have, if pislousi has its way that one would have all the churches shut down, the nasty pislousi hates everything about this country and the CONSTITUTION, of course all the other demon congress critters hate the constitution as well.
I am sick and tired of being sick and tired of all the liberal BS! There is not one thing that Conservatives believe in that the DA Dims do not want to destroy. This country was founded on more Conservative ideals and should remain that way. The liberals and their thinking/destroying need to go. They have disrespected the Flag, the National Anthem, prayer, the Constitution, our Government, and practically every facet of our lives here in the USA.
So if posing with a gun is inciting a riot then McDonald’s commercials incite fatness , Beer commercials incite alcoholism.
So basically anything advertised or seen incites something…Sound like we all need to hide in our basements and turn our backs on reality..
Wake up lefty, It’s called LIFE , LIBERTY and the pursuit of HAPPINESS!
Phil – apparently little chrissy had no problem with the nfac crowd actually (when they weren’t having negligent discharges) intimidating lots of folks in various locales. THAT is an actual threat, not a few guns on a shelf.
Reading his statements I can only guess that he was failing psychology so changed his major to journalism. Understand, that is modern day journalism and none of that old fashioned kind where you actually backed up what you had to say with something more than opinion. His commentary would have been a failing paper in a journalism class fifty years ago.
We not only have a right to overthrow an oppressive government we as citizens have a duty to up hold and protect the Constitution and ALL politicians took an oath to protect and up hold the Constitution as well. People that get to broad cast their opinions should be required to tell the truth as they can do far more damage with their lies than I could with any weapon.
As per the third paragraph of the Declaration Of Independence:
Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, – That whenever any form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form , as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
This is right out of the Declaration of Independence. This is the paragraph that has the satan worshipping DEMONcrats scared half to death, they think the people are going to rise up and take over.
Obama also “posed” with a Firearm. No mention of that FACT !!
Richard – good catch – almost forgot about that one 😉 Yet another example of selective outrage on the part of the left.
I would say this guy should be charged with Slander. To go on air and accuse Boebert of inciting anything is insane. Maybe the politicians should go after these lying sack of s————ts. This is beyond first amendment rights. Pathetic People of the press.
If the people that voted for Biden cannot see what his administration is doing to the American people then they are deaf, dumb and blind! He is a puppet with the strings being worked by Obama. He always wanted a 3rd term the reason he moved so close to the White House! Biden has tried to take credit for everything that Trump did along, with the stroke of a pen so many thousands of people thrown out of work without a blink of the eye! He never even read what he was signing and even commented, so!! Kerry, should be banned from politics he showed his distan for this country when he threw all his medals away after he came home from Vietnam!! He is a liar as well as all the people worried about the earth coming to an end due to global warming!! As for the weather changes he should read about the weather many years before he was born and even after! Biden should be held responsible for what happened in Texas! As for ice storms I recall Atlanta having them when I was growing up in South Georgia many pictures in the newspaper showing all the ice! I am 82 that should give you an indication of how long I have been around and have seen unusual changes in the weather. So, if we only have 5 years left on this planet I would like to know what physic he gets his information from! Yes, the Democrats must be defeated by the people or they will wish they had! I have never seen so much hate from a political party that they condemn everyone that is a Republican or Independent that doesn’t vote democratic. I don’t own a gun but the way things are going in Seattle, Portland, Minnesota, Washington DC, I might just get one. AndTrump did not tell his followers to riot and break into the Capitol. Pelosi is afraid someone might get to her because of all her hate the reason for the fences and military guarding the Capitol! However, I don’t think witches have a conscious!!!!!
Many don’t want to see and of course the CNNs and MSNBCs of the world don’t tell them the truth.. To them utopia is just around the corner. Their utopia will soon become a hell hole.
The airplanes were hijacked, the Twin Towers destroyed, and thousand of Americans murdered under the leadership of Osama bin Laden and all this was done WITHOUT ONE GUN!

That picture of him looks like he’s getting poked in the rear.
Anyone else notice that all the “men” on PMSNBC should be wearing pink panties?
Liberal/progressives “Let’s unify and stop all the violence and violent rhetoric and get rid of gun’s as 2nd is no longer valid”
Conservatives “Ok you first! And which other of the bill of rights do you want to invalidate as not valid for today. The 1st, 4th or 9th amendments oh wait those are already in process of being flushed with pandemic? Maybe the 5th amendment, we have president in that Senate and House trials don’t follow that one at all per House majority leader and the House managers in last impeachment trial. How about the 13th ending slavery, 14th or 19th with the rights to vote?”
Each of these are dependent on keeping the 2nd in tact, once it’s gone so will go the rest of these. If Congress wasn’t afraid armed civilians could do anything like overthrow a government they wouldn’t be fighting for stronger gun control now. Do not think for an instant it is about public safety. Why else does the US provide small arms to revolutionaries we want to bolster across the world if they didn’t think it would work. As some like to claim that wasn’t the reason it was in the constitution in the first place. Even though the language strongly points to it. How do you think a small band of armed rebels came together to fight one of the most powerful armies in the world and create their own country?
Even the liberal leaning Wikipedia states the second amendment is about “supporting the natural rights of self-defense and resistance to oppression, and the civic duty to act in concert in defense of the state”.
Very true. It’s not and never has been about safety. It is and always has been about control. Control over every person in this country. Notice how dumb students are coming out of colleges these days. It’s clear that they already are in the process of dumbing down the populace. If we don’t stop this crap now our freedoms and all the things that make America the greatest nation on the planet in history will be a thing of the past. This country isn’t racist and as a whole never has been. It’s the democrat party who is now and has been since its inception racist and seeking control. The democrat party is one of the mail reasons we have the 2nd amendment.
I never pay any attention to TV talking heads. Liberals or Conservatives. That said, Nice rifles and Colorado had a cute congress person.
Dont like the constitution, the bill of rights then get the fuk out of my country ass holes
Does anyone at MSNBC possess a brain? Apparently not. Have they ever read the Constitution of the United States of America? Doubtful. There are two reasons we have the 2nd amendment and neither are hunting or target shooting. While those are covered by the 2nd amendment the real reason it’s in the Bill of Rights is one, to defend our country from foreign invaders and two, to defend this country from a tyrannical government and any proxies of theirs such as a very dishonest media. MSNBC and CNN are the most dishonest ones but ABC, CBS and NBC aren’t far behind. I applaud Congresswoman Boebert for her stance on the 2nd amendment and her love of this country. I feel sorry for anyone dumb enough to believe the lies and absence of truth that is found on the leftist media channels, papers and websites. This is how tyranny starts. We can’t let that happen. I love and believe in this country and it’s founding ideals too much!
It’s sad how forceful and competent Lauren Boebert appears compared to Chris Hayes whos comes over as inept and effeminate.
MSNBC as usual has its head up their a**es! They should be banned as a network.
I guess they would hate past Texas Gov Ann Richards then too.
All three branches of government seems to have caught a severe case of vaginitis.
Sometimes I wonder if the founders knew this and that is why women were not part of the house or senate or White House or judicial.
Although I do see women as having the most important job….. raising the next generation.
Males (?) like Chris should come to terms with the fact that you are a girly boy.
Let the Alfa males run the show, let the girly boys play house with the girls.
Don’t count on beta boy for protection or security they cast no such shadow, they will be hiding in yours.
Well, I’m just a little jealous that she can carry her Glock in Washington, DC, but I’m not allowed to! Guess I’ll not be going there, at least not in this lifetime… Good for her, though!
Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels would be proud of Democrats because they are following his teaching as if scheduled to do so. Marx and Engels co-wrote The Communist Manifesto, a guideline to communism, over one hundred and seventy years ago (1848) and Democrats react as if they are following Marz’s doctrines. Part of Marx’s plan and guidelines to converting a government to socialism/communism is to make the citizens dependant on the government to survive and to disarm the citizenry so there will be no revolt from those who wish to remain free! Is there anything Democrats have done since Obama was in office that deviates from this plan to convert our government to communism?
Democrats denounce any attempt to secure our voting system by refusing to accept any form of “Voter ID”. (Shoring up their quest for dominance)
Democrats champion all forms of Welfare creating a demographic of citizens who are dependant upon the government for everything. (Making our citizens dependant on the government)
Democrats have been attacking the Second Amendment for decades, even calling for the removal of this amendment. (Disarm the citizens to prevent revolt against communist)
Democrats attack Christianity creating a Godless society. (Communists do not recognize the existence of Christ)
Democrats deplore security on our borders because they want as many foreigners here as possible to create chaos and wreak havoc with our economy. (Communism festers in an unstable economy)
In short, Democrats have become the new Communist Party of the west and every U.S. citizen must resist them to save Democracy!
As far as a display of weapons, how about Pelosi having thousands of weapons in our Capitol?
Not one news station is worth 5 cents. They lie so bad, right criminal news network. They would not report the truth if is bit them in their worthless asses.
