Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) earned little gratitude for her Thanksgiving message on Thursday.

The conspiracy theory-loving lawmaker took time out during her holiday weekend return to Colorado — which also saw her allegedly make up an Islamophobic story involving Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) ― to tweet:

“Today I’m thankful to have ZERO Brandon voters in my family!” she wrote.

The “Brandon” dig references the anti-President Joe Biden phrase “Let’s Go Brandon.”

“Just enjoying the day maskless, not waiting in the garage to do a PCR test, and no soy replacement meat in sight,” added Boebert, who has peddled puzzling and awful hot takes on COVID-19 and vaccines on multiple previous occasions and has actively railed against House mask mandates.

Critics responded to Boebert’s post as expected:
