Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) on Wednesday tweeted and then deleted a post mocking the threat of the delta variant of COVID-19.

“The easiest way to make the Delta variant go away is to turn off CNN,” wrote the QAnon-endorsing Republican, touting ignorance as a defense against the mutated strain of the coronavirus first discovered in India that is significantly more transmissible than other variants.

“And vote Republican,” she added, in a further attempt to politicize the issue.

Boebert nixed the post after an hour, but it remains documented on ProPublica’s “Politwoops” page.

In response, Colorado state Rep. Steven Woodrow (D) said Boebert “proves once again that stupidity has a champion in Colorado.”

Boebert’s district has a surge of the delta variant of CoVid, unvaccinated people are getting very sick and dying and she tweets this sh*t. Unbelievably ignorant and irresponsible.

Colorado’s @RepBoebert has deleted her tweet on the Delta variant. Boebert represents Mesa County, where the Delta variant was first found in Colorado and now makes up 50%+ of its COVID cases. pic.twitter.com/UaIu7EmhAm

Bobo doesnt understand how disease spreads and her stupidity will kill more of her constituents, who are dying of the Delta variant. Darwin in action!

Lauren Boebert deleted this tweet. I guess she doesn’t want people to see how opposed she is to science, saving children & the immunocompromised, and medical professionals who are mentally & physically exhausted from dealing with this shit. #covid #Delta #GQP #COVIDIOT pic.twitter.com/RGJBQoHGYz

LB deleted this insensitive, uninformed tweet a few hours ago, probably after learning that one of her district’s counties has one of the worst outbreaks of the Delta variant in the country. pic.twitter.com/9HnHVgp3Ks
