Rep. Lauren Boebert isn't exactly welcoming a fellow Republican back to Congress ... rather, she's skewering him for being MIA because he was depressed.

Thing is ... Kean is running for reelection, and Republicans need every seat to retain the House, but Boebert doesn't care ... she says if he's too much of an eggshell to show up, she's ok if he's booted from Congress.
