#HeyNext Commentary: We should admit we hold Republican Congresswoman @LaurenBoebert to a different standard than every other elected official in Colorado.
@laurenboebert We hold Congresswoman Boebert to a far lower standard. If we held her to the same standard as every other elected Republican and Democrat in Colorado - we'd be here nearly nightly chronicling the cruel, false, and bigoted things she says for attention and fundraising.
@laurenboebert This is not about politics, if politics is still about things like taxes, national security, health care, jobs, and public lands. This is about us as journalists recognizing that we'll hold a politician accountable if they say something vile once, but not if they do it every day.
@laurenboebert Our double standard is unfair to all the elected officials in Colorado - Republicans and Democrats - who display human decency.
