Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., lashed back at accusations she “weaponized” a social media post with Dave Chappelle, arguing the comedian had already waded into the political debate over transgender issues.<\/p>\n

“Dave Chappelle can have his little counseling session with NPR,” Boebert told Fox News Digital, referring to an interview Chappelle gave earlier this week when he criticized a post of the two of them together at the U.S. Capitol.<\/p>\n

“That’s fine. You know, I took a photo with 50 Cent, a lot of people and posted about them. And none of them cried over it,” Boebert said.<\/p>\n

Boebert snapped a picture with Chappelle in November 2023 and posted the image to Twitter with the caption: “Just three people who understand that there\u2019s only two genders.”<\/p>\n

The original tweet, which also included Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., has since been deleted.<\/p>\n

The incident resurfaced earlier this week when Chappelle told interviewers he resented the moment.<\/p>\n

“I was on Capitol Hill and everybody ran up to take pictures with me from every congressional office. I didn\u2019t ask how they vote or what their voting record is. And then here comes Lauren Boebert,” Chappelle recalled.<\/p>\n

“And she said \u2018can I get a picture?\u2019 And I had already taken 40 pictures, I didn\u2019t want to say no in front of everybody\u2026 She instantly weaponized it \u2014 or politicized it. You should never do that to a person like me.”<\/p>\n

Chappelle has repeatedly tackled transgender issues in his Netflix specials<\/a>, including “Sticks & Stones,” “Equanimity” and “The Closer” \u2014 material that has drawn both backlash and support and put him at the center of the broader cultural debate he now says Boebert pulled him into.<\/p>\n

Boebert noted as much, suggesting Chappelle has already inserted himself into these national conversations through his comedy.<\/p>\n

“I think he’s done that quite a bit, has he not?” Boebert said.<\/p>\n

When asked if she believed she had politicized the moment with Chappelle, Boebert said she believes the gravity of the issue merits political discourse.<\/p>\n

“They’re castrating our children and destroying them, absolutely ruining their lives over it. In Colorado<\/a> … We castrate bulls not baby boys. Okay? And that’s what it should be,” Boebert said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
