Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) apparently doesn’t like being called a MAGA extremist and would rather be called an ultra MAGA.

Boebert said: “I just wanted to take a few seconds to respond, that was great, you know, we’re treated like MAGA extremists, extremes, MAGA Republicans, and I would like to clarify. That’s ultra MAGA. That’s what we prefer.

Of course, Boebert would rather be called ultra MAGA than extreme, because being ultra doesn’t reflect the extremism of the MAGA agenda. Boebert’s comments also suggest that even Trump’s staunchest supporters understand that being called an extremist is bad for them politically. When the House is in session, not a day goes by without House Democrats delivering the message that MAGA is extremism.
Rep. Boebert can try changing the name all she wants, but it won’t work. The 2024 election is already defined as a competition against right-wing extremism.
MAGAs like Boebert don’t want the rest of the country to find out about their extremism, which is why they are trying to rebrand and try to make Americans forget what they really stand for.
