And Boebert’s claim is further called into question by CNN footage from the House steps in the moments after the vote concluded. Less than a minute after the vote was finalized, CNN photojournalist Jake Scheuer captured video of Boebert running up the steps as a CNN associate producer mentioned that the vote had just been closed. However, there were no significant House votes left that night after the debt ceiling vote. A spokesperson responded by providing a link to Boebert’s Thursday statement, which outlined her opposition to the bill but did not substantiate her subsequent assertion in the social media video that she had missed the vote on purpose. “I certainly wasn’t afraid to vote against the bill, as I have been advocating against it all week,” Boebert said in the statement.
