RIGHT NOW-> Congresswoman Lauren Boebert, who has bragged about her desire to carry a weapon on Capital Hill is currently in a standoff with Capitol Police at the newly installed Metal Detectors outside the chamber doors.
Boebert walked through with her bag which set off the mags. She refused to offer the bag over to be searched and is now in a standoff with Cap Police.
Capitol Police won’t let her in until Boebert shows them what is in her bag, she won’t and is now standing by the entrance of the chamber. She is respectful but defiant.
Boebert has now been let into the chamber it was unclear from my vantage point if the Capitol Police searched her bag before she went in.
In addition to the Boebert standoff, several House GOPers expressed their anger over the new metal detectors. https://twitter.com/mkraju/status/1349161726902677506
