Lauren Boebert SWITCHES election run from Colorado's 3rd District to the Republican stronghold 4th - amid fierce fight with her Democratic rival Conservative firebrand Lauren Boebert has announced she will switch congressional districts for the 2024 election, after scraping to re-election in 2022 by only 546 votes. Boebert, a 37-year-old grandmother and mother of four sons, said that she had made the decision to continue her fight against 'the socialists and communists taking over our country.' She said there was 'dark money' directed at her personally 'to steal this seat'. And she said it was a fresh start after her divorce and 'personal mistakes'.Boebert made headlines over the summer after she was caught on camera groping a date, vaping and taking selfies at a performance of the musical Beetlejuice in Denver, and then giving ushers the finger when she was asked to leave and declaring: 'Do you know who I am?' She also sparked controversy by heckling Joe Biden in his 2022 State of the Union address, and caused anger by making an Islamophobic joke about Ilhan Omar of Minnesota. Boebert announced her switch of districts in a Facebook video published on Wednesday, saying: 'I did not arrive at this decision easily. 'A lot of prayer, a lot of tough conversations and a lot of perspective convinced me that this is the best way I can continue to fight for Colorado, for the conservative movement and for my children's future.' She said the Hollywood elites, Aspen money men and George Soros who tried to stop her can 'go and pound sand'. The decision makes her re-election chances significantly stronger. The 3rd District leans 9 percentage points in Republicans' favor, The Colorado Sun reported - while the 4th District leans 27 points toward the GOP, according to a nonpartisan analysis of election results from 2016 to 2020 by staffers for the Colorado legislature. She has struggled to fundraise for her 3rd District reelection bid, the paper reported, and Republican donors in western Colorado have lost their enthusiasm for her brand of fiery pro-Trump politics. Ryan Reynolds and Barbra Streisand are among stars who were trying to unseat her by donating to her Democrat rival's campaign.
The A-Listers have been joined by Eagles founder Don Henley, actor and director Rob Reiner, as well as Johnny Cash's daughter Rosanne Cash in donating to Adam Frisch's 2023 campaign.
Data shows Reynolds has donated $1,500 to Frisch's campaign, Henley has donated $6,600, Streisand has donated $1,000, Reiner has donated $3,300 and Cash has donated $550.Boebert's decision is good news for the Republican party, which feared she would lose. It does not mean the 3rd District will vote Democrat - the district hasn't sent a Democrat to Congress since 2008 - but it does mean that a more moderate Republican can take the seat. Grand Junction attorney Jeff Hurd, who is supported by a number of big-name Republicans and the conservative editorial board of The Colorado Springs Gazette, was challenging Boebert for her seat. Carbondale investor Russ Andrews and Delta County business owner Curtis McCrackin are also in the race. Boebert said on Wednesday she would move her family to the 4th District - even though she does not have to do so to qualify. At present, she lives in Garfield County, near the town of Silt - hundreds of miles from the 4th District's boundaries. The 4th District spans the entire eastern border of Colorado, and all the land east of Denver stretching from Oklahoma in the south to Nebraska in the north, and east to Kansas. The 3rd District, by contrast, stretched over the western border of the state, encompassing the wealthy mountain towns of Aspen and Telluride. The 4th District is currently represented by Ken Buck, but Buck announced in November he would not run for re-election in 2024. Buck, 64, said he considers himself a conservative aligned with Ronald Reagan, and adheres to individual liberty and economic freedom. He said he was stepping down partly in dismay at his colleagues' refusal to accept the 2020 election result, and partly because Congress was no longer able to get anything done. Boebert is far from the only Republican seeking to replace Buck, but her $1.4 million war chest will certainly help her campaign. She faces competition from conservative talk radio host Deborah Flora; former state senators Jerry Sonnenberg and Ted Harvey; and state representative Richard Holtorf. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12905593/lauren-boebert-colorado-congressional-district-switch.html?ICO=most_read_module&mrn_rm=rta-fallbackSo, she would have lost had she stayed in her old seat not least to her divorce & then unhinged behaviour.

I've just been reading the comments on a Melina Trump article on Page 6 and I'd agree that they are stupid but also stubborn.

^^ any party which is owned by rump and represented by boobert, trailer green, matt gaetz, and various other ignorant, medieval (and generally evil) assclowns is beyond hope and saving. I hope they go down in flames next year.

Police investigate after Lauren Boebert allegedly in physical fight with former husband Jayson Boebert
WASHINGTON — Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., was allegedly in a physical fight with her former husband, Jayson Boebert, at a restaurant in her Colorado district, leading police to investigate the incident. Mike Kite, the chief of the Silt Police Department, confirmed the investigation in multiple reports. He said police received a call from the Miner’s Claim restaurant in Silt, Colorado, on Saturday night. The couple divorced last year. Jayson Boebert previously alleged that Lauren Boebert punched him in the face during the altercation, but he told The Denver Post on Sunday morning he called police and does not want to press charges. “Her and I were working through a difficult conversation," he told the outlet. Lauren Boebert denied her ex-husband’s allegations to the Washington Post, saying “This is a sad situation for all that keeps escalating and another reason why I’m moving.” “I didn’t punch Jayson in the face and no one was arrested,” Boebert told the Post in a statement. “I will be consulting with my lawyer about the false claims he made against me and evaluate all of my legal options.” Lauren Boebert announced last month that she will not run for reelection in her current congressional seat in Colorado’s 3rd District and will instead run in the state’s 4th District, which Rep. Ken Buck, R-Colo., currently represents. The weekend incident isn't the first time in recent months the lawmaker's behavior in her private life has drawn attention. She and a man were kicked out of a performance in a Denver theater last year for disruptive behavior, vaping and touching each other. USA Today

"he told The Denver Post on Sunday morning he called police and does not want to press charges."
Classic maritial-abuse. Does this state not have the "victim doesn't need to press charges the police will do it anyway"-policy?

Lauren Boebert's son Tyler arrested, leaving congresswoman 'heartbroken'
Lauren Boebert has said she is heartbroken over her teenage son's arrest but that he will take responsibility for his actions and should be held accountable. The Colorado representative's son is accused of taking part in a series of car break-ins and credit card thefts in his mother's home state. Tyler Boebert, 18, appeared in court virtually from jail on Wednesday but was later released to return in April. He is facing multiple felony charges. The list of 22 charges include four felony charges of criminal possession of ID documents, one count of conspiracy to commit a felony, and over a dozen misdemeanour charges, the Rifle Police Department said in a Facebook post.In a statement provided to The Denver Post by Ms Boebert's campaign for re-election, she said her son should be held accountable for "poor decisions" just like anyone else. "I love my son Tyler, who has been through some very difficult, public challenges for a young man and the subject of attention that he didn't ask for," she said. "It breaks my heart to see my child struggling and, in this situation, especially when he has been provided multiple opportunities to get his life on track." Tyler Boebert was first identified as a suspect when he was spotted in a surveillance video while officers were investigating a string of car break-ins, police said in court documents. He is accused of using stolen credit cards to make purchases in petrol stations and online. The Boebert family has made headlines several times in recent months. Lauren Boebert's ex-husband, Jayson Boebert, was arrested on assault charges in January during an altercation with another son. And in September she was asked to leave a theatre for causing a disturbance, including vaping, singing and using phones. She later apologised. BBC News

what a mess they all are. that poor kid. It gets worse - there's reports circulating that one of his alleged accomplices is an underage girl and that not only did they record themselves during intimate activities but that Boebert Jnr then went on to share the footage with his friends. There's no word as of yet as to whether the minor is his babymama or someone else or if any charges will be brought.

I'm guessing she's a fan of Sarah Palin, who had just about the same amount of white trash stuff going on in her family.

For all of the Palin family fuckery, I don't think that they ever hit the low of (allegedly) producing and distributing CSAM. Not to mention Pa Boebert doing time for lewd exposure in front of a minor and Ma Boebert being seen on CCTV getting her hooters honked in a theatre while getting a handful of wang. In the race to the bottom the Boeberts are definitely ahead of the Palins.
