Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) is facing backlash from Twitter users for suggesting any of "you," too, could be prosecuted now that former President Donald Trump is facing indictment.

The MAGA congresswoman tweeted, "Never forget who these people truly are showing themselves to be. They want anyone who doesn’t agree with them locked up. First it was the J6ers. Today it is Trump. Tomorrow it could be you."

Twitter users immediately went after Boebert – many countering her assertion.

@MeidasTouch: "This is a very odd way to say that every person deserves equal treatment under the law."

Tyler Ward: "'Tomorrow it could be you.' GIRL, I'M NOT GOING TO JAIL FOR PAYING HUSH MONEY TO NO STRIPPA?"
