Boebert Blasts Kean’s MIA Absence as Embarrassing

Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert publicly blasted New Jersey Rep. Tom Kean Jr. for his three-month absence from Congress, calling it "embarrassing" and arguing lawmakers should show up to vote regardless of health. Kean later returned to explain he was receiving treatment for depression, saying doctors diagnosed a depressive illness and that hospitalization was part of his recovery. The exchange highlighted tensions over attendance and health in a closely divided House as Kean resumes his duties.
