TL;DR Summary

Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert claimed she intentionally skipped a key House vote on a bill to suspend the nation's debt ceiling as a "no-show protest," but her claim is contradicted by her own words in the congressional record and footage captured by CNN. Boebert submitted an official statement saying she was "unavoidably detained" for the vote and would have voted against the bill had she been present. Less than a minute after the vote was finalized, CNN captured video of Boebert running up the steps as a CNN associate producer mentioned that the vote had just been closed.
