On January 5, the day before the storming of the United States Capitol, Boebert tweeted, "Remember these next 48 hours. These are some of the most important days in American history." On January 6, in the hours before the Capitol was attacked, Boebert tweeted, "Today is 1776," a reference to the American Revolutionary War. During the counting of the Electoral College votes, Boebert objected to counting Arizona's votes in a speech to the joint session of Congress. She said, "The members who stand here today and accept the results of this concentrated, coordinated, partisan effort by Democrats—where every fraudulent vote canceled out the vote of an honest American—have sided with the extremist left."
