Lauren Boebert’s Controversial Halloween Costume
Lauren Boebert, the self-proclaimed “MAGA Warrior,” has set social media ablaze with her latest Halloween outfit. This time, she dressed up in a costume themed after ICE (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement), stirring up backlash and disbelief. Many people took to Twitter, Facebook, and other platforms to express their outrage. One partygoer even told ABC News, “It is the most disgusting thing I have ever seen.” You know the costume’s a miss when the scariest thing at the party isn’t a ghost, but a politician in uniform.
Public Reaction and Social Media Backlash
The internet did not hold back. Critics called Boebert’s costume “tone-deaf” and “cruel,” especially given the ongoing debates around U.S. immigration policies. Supporters of Boebert, however, cheered her on for “speaking her mind”—because nothing says freedom like making Halloween political. Let’s be honest, if you have to explain your costume to everyone at the party, you might want to rethink your choices next year.
Political Costumes: Trick or Treat?
Whether you see her move as a bold statement or an insensitive stunt, Boebert’s choice has certainly got people talking. In the world of political Halloween costumes, this one may haunt the internet for a while. If you thought last year’s “sexy hand sanitizer” costume was bad, just wait until Congress gets involved in the dress-up game.
