Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) unleashed her savage wit after President Joe Biden made another verbal gaffe at a Democratic Party fundraiser in Pennsylvania on Friday.
“And, of course, they’re going try for their 499th time, or whatever the number is — they’re still determined to eliminate the Affordable Care Act,” Biden said during the event.
“And, by the way, if they do, that means — not a joke, everybody. That’s why we defeated it in 2018 when they tried to do it. We went to 54 states,” he added, getting the number of U.S. states incorrect.
“The reason is people didn’t realize that the only reason anybody who has a pre-existing condition can get health care is because of the Affordable Care Act,” he added. “These protections will be gone as well if Republicans get their way.”
Republicans, by and large, are not focused on repealing so-called “Obamacare,” but it was the incorrect number of states Biden referenced that triggered Boebert’s response.
“Joe Biden now says there are 54 states. I guess if you count the states of denial, confusion, delusion and disaster that his Regime has caused he just might be on to something,” she tweeted.

Others joined in as well to roast Biden.
Conservative comedian Terrence Williams said: “Joe Biden said he’s been to 54 states. Jesus Help us all.”
Conservative commentator John Cardillo noted: “Painful and embarrassing to watch. IT’S. EVERY. TIME. HE. SPEAKS.”
Jordan Sekulow said: “The leader of the Democrat Party and unfortunately for us, the President.”
“He gets worse and worse every day, pretty soon all he’ll be able to do is stand there and stare. He needs to be removed from the White House he isn’t capable of even pretending to run this country anymore,” another Twitter user wrote.
“Confusion, bewilderment, befuddlement, and unconscious are all states,” said another user.
