Rep. Boebert is indicative of the state of affairs in America today. She made blatently homophobic comments and little to nothing is being said or done to even retract the statements nor are they garnering condemnation from other members of her own political party. The idea of exclusion and racist, xenophobic rhetoric is slowly but surly becoming the norm in the political landscape. In order to stem the tide of hate, leaders must take action to set examples and condemn these actions.
