CO-03: Sandy Hook Conspiracist Tom Ready Hosting Boebert Fundraiser
Colorado Republican congressional candidate Lauren Boebert, already labeled a QAnon supporter by national press, is appearing at a private fundraiser this evening hosted by a GOP donor who gained national notoriety of his own in 2014 when he raised doubts about whether the Sandy Hook school massacre actually took place.
At the time Dr. Tom Ready was running for Pueblo County Commissioner. During a debate his opponent asked him to defend a Facebook post he shared claiming the shooting was fake. Ready responded that there was “still question as to whether it really happened…Nothing wrong with an open discussion.”
On Sept 6. she accepted the endorsement of Gun Owners of America, a group whose founder claimed that the Aurora theater shooting may have been staged by the federal government in order to drum up support for gun control legislation.
Conspiracy theories about shootings and gun laws are popular within militias and so-called “Patriot” groups, a demographic Boebert enthusiastically supports.
