Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO), with an assist from controversial podcaster Benny Johnson, set off a social media firestorm on Thursday after they combined to post two pictures from Hillary Clinton’s behind-closed-doors deposition that temporarily derailed the proceedings.
According to CNN, Clinton briefly ended the questioning after the photos were spotted on X because it violated a privacy agreement with House Oversight Chair James Comer (R-KY), who refused to allow the hearing to be televised.
Johnson and Boebert were swamped with complaints on X from those seeking answers about Jeffrey Epstein and felt they were derailing the hearing on purpose.
On Johnson’s X feed, one commenter complained, “They name dropped you specifically. Hopefully you or Boebert aren’t trying to sabotage the hearing as to protect billionaire pedophiles.”
MAGA fan “Mojo” wrote, “Way to go. Now they are stopping the proceedings.”
MaryDaily, a fan of posting Fox News clips, offered, “Oh, oh! Thanks for sharing. But someone is in trouble.”
Charlie Kirk supporter T3xasG1rl lamented, “Why didn’t you wait until it was done now they have stopped. Thanks Benny.”
“Oh oh Benny I hope you have some good lawyer friends.I like you and follow you almost every day but you may have crossed a line here even if you didn’t intend to. On your show earlier today you said you had an insider and now we know who. Dude, of all the people, her? Yikes,” Stephen Fitzgerald wrote.
Johnson was also attacked from the left with MadMartigan asking, “Are you and Boebert trying to torpedo the deposition? The committee just went off record because of this. She and Pres. Clinton wanted this to be public. What are you trying to accomplish?”
“What a f—king dumba– move… why are you purposely torpedoing this hearing for CLICKS!?!? USE YOUR DAMN BRAIN!!! The both of you are chasing wisdom, but it’s always faster than the two of you…” raged conservative Lady Liberty.
