Critics served up some shade after conspiracy theory-loving Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) asked Twitter users to name their favorite Christmas dessert recipes on Friday.

Boebert’s request, below, went down as badly as her Thanksgiving boasts on Thursday and her Islamophobic comment about Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) during a campaign event in her home state over the holiday weekend.

We just got done eating Thanksgiving meals, but I’m already planning out Christmas dinner (life of a mom)!

What are your favorite Christmas dessert recipes?

Boebert has since apologized for the attack on Omar, claiming “there are plenty of policy differences to focus on without this unnecessary distraction.”

Boebert’s “distraction” line was flipped back on her recipe post as tweeters slammed the Donald Trump acolyte in response:

My favorite is democracy.

Insurrectionist Souffle!

For Christmas this mom plans "kindness"; "humility"; "grace"; "compassion"; "inclusion"; "love"... you don't seem to have those recipes but I hear they can be learned.

I would suggest that you try a few slices of humble pie.🥧🥧

I always liked the Baklava my Katie made for me. Greek and Arab friends alike could have them.
