DENVER (AP) — A former state representative in Colorado sued Republican U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert on Sunday after being blocked from the first-term federal lawmaker’s Twitter account.

Attorneys for Democrat Bri Buentello of Pueblo filed the lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Denver, claiming she was blocked after calling for the Colorado Republican to be recalled....The suit seeks a court order for Boebert to unlock Buentello on Twitter and a declaration that the Republican’s actions violated Buentello’s constitutional rights to free speech

....An attorney for Buentello said Boebert’s “stifling” of critics should be of concern to everyone.

'stifling' : something only Dems can be victims of

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Censorship is a one-way street.

I am confused about the whole twitter free speech thing

How does that work again?

Tell them to pound sand.

She should deactivate her Twitter account.

...violated Buentello’s constitutional rights to free speech."

I hate to hurt EVERONE'S feelings, but we are all going to have to pay for our "free" speech now. Some are more prepared than others for when someone wants to make you pay for that. Let the reader understand.

Some speech is clearly more free than others.

Taylor-Greene and Boebert sure like attention.

She has already been blocked from even using twatter so this is all for nothing.

wow, talk about selfish *** (person) Guess they didn’t learn in PreK that not everyone will like you or want to talk with you.

[silverleaf]

Bit ironic on a platform that censors and bans millions

[blueplum]

are they drumming attention or are they being targeted as strong Republican women in an environment where only Dem women and only liberal dem women, are supposed to have a voice?

[realcleanguy]

Wow, OMG!!! Do we have children in Congress??????? WTF?

[realcleanguy]

We have children running the country

“She should deactivate her Twitter account.”<PShe’s already on Gab, and was on Parler until it went down. I don’t see why she doesn’t get rid of Twitter.

...and senile, old degenerates in a day or so.

[PROCON]

Good grief, man, what happened to 'the rules?'

[madison10]

Person suing is just jealous.
