Joe Biden, a life-long catholic, crosses himself while attacking Rep. Lauren Boebert in Her Own District
President Joe Biden continues to face criticism for his attack on Rep. Lauren Boebert during his visit to her Colorado congressional district. Throughout his speech, Biden took several minutes to directly criticize the Republican representative from Colorado, who had been vocal in her criticism of him on social media.
Speaking at CS Wind in Pueblo, Colorado, Biden praised the company's plan to hire new workers and highlighted the role of funding from the infrastructure law in making these investments possible.
However, POTUS slammed Boebert and other Republicans by pointing out that they had voted against the infrastructure law and had even sought to repeal key parts of it.
Boebert has responded by defending her voting record and labeled the law as an example of "Green New Deal extremism."
What caught the attention of many was Biden's peculiar behavior when he mentioned Boebert's name. At one point, the 81-year-old life-long catholic, paused briefly, crossed himself, and then smiled at the laughter from the audience.
This gesture raised eyebrows and left many wondering about the intention behind it.
In his speech, Biden referred to Boebert as "one of the leaders of the extreme MAGA movement." He accused her of calling the infrastructure law a "massive failure" and questioned whether the employees of CS Wind believed they were part of this supposed failure. Biden emphasized the positive impact of the law on job creation and the local economy.

Meanwhile, Boebert remained active on social media, launching a series of political jabs at Biden and Frisch.
She criticized Biden for taking a break from his vacation in Nantucket to visit Colorado and called on him to apologize for his alleged "war on fossil fuels" and his support for the Green New Deal, which she believes has negatively affected the people of Colorado's 3rd Congressional District.
