Rep. Boebert needs to read up

Letter to the Editor Letter-to-the-editor |

Republican U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert recently tweeted, “The Constitution is not evolving. To say that spits in the face of every single one of our founders.” The last time I checked, the U.S. Constitution has 27 Amendments. It has always been evolving, as per the Founders’ design.

Supporting a lawless ex-president and an insurrection to overturn a free and fair election is an example of spitting in the face of every single one of our founders.

Now go read the Constitution, Rep. Boebert, and the 27 Amendments to it. It’s your job to know it; after all, you took an oath to support and defend it.
