Lauren Boebert target of wild claims spreading despite lack of evidence

Denver Post

The allegations likely have little effect within Boebert’s West Slope district, one political scientist said

The same political group that helped overturn U.S. Rep. Madison Cawthorn’s reelection bid in North Carolina is now taking aim at Colorado’s West Slope provocateur, U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert.

While the political action committee – American Muckrakers – spread a video in which Cawthorn was identifiable, its claims against Boebert, of Silt, are much more tenuous.

One rumor of an ATV accident in Utah holds a kernel of truth, though Boebert’s spokesman disputes major details. Other allegations, including that of working as a paid escort, appear based entirely on anonymous and heavily redacted sources. The Denver Post could not find any information or witnesses to support those claims. Some news outlets have run with the story, though, and the allegations continue to circulate widely on social media.

David Wheeler, a former Democratic candidate for the North Carolina Senate, said he couldn’t reveal his sources but said voters can look online and hear the audio recordings and read the text messages he’s collected.

What matters is that she is a fucking dumbass**, and the people of Colorado’s 3rd District deserve to be represented by someone who isn’t a fucking dumbass, plain and simple.

I could give two shits if she fucked Ted Cruz in a Ski Town hookup, seriously.

Hell, I don’t even care about her hypocrisy regarding abortion, if she did indeed have two of them.

Who gives a fuck about this trailers trash dipshit from a two horse town along I-70?

There are plenty of people who can beat her, but whether or not the people of that district will vote her out is another question.

It’s astounding to me how many downright fucking idiots and dumbasses seem to get elected on the right side of the aisle.

Is there one single Democrat in congress who is even close to being that fucking stupid?

Fuck Lauren Boebert and her genital exposing grifter of a husband. Fuck them right back to the Western Slope.

** Who has no business being in Congress, much like Empty Greene, Matt “I like em’ young” Gaetz and any number of other conservative dipshits.

proof will come out in the next few weeks. That's what happened with Cawthorn. The news broke, and the more salacious photos followed.

If it is not that, this will fade away.

NOTE: I'm not making any judgments about whether it is appropriate to talk about the specific elements of the reports. Just on how I believe this seems to be originating from the right.

Where women will die because Boebert doesn't believe in abortions, that's a huge deal. In and of itself if she did have 2 abortions it's her business. However, since she's so anti-abortion and rails against anybody else who has one, I call that a huge deal. Because women/young girls will DIE until the NO abortions of anykind bill is overturned/reversed? 3 or 4 years of women's lives will be lost. So she's playing judge, jury and God, just like her male GQP'ers who don't even want women to have the right or access to save their lives should they have an Ectopic pregnancy. But boy those male GQP'ers make sure their various mistresses, play things, and their wives have all the abortions they want to and then go on to say when busted, Please give us our privacy Yes, her being accused of 2 abortion's is salacious, but IF she had 2 abortions and doesn't care if other women want to exercise THEIR rights to their bodies is worse than salacious on her part. Then this ass was praying for Joe Biden's death, and she and her so-called Christians laughed about it. I hope she goes through the mother of all hell until she's hopefully run out of office. She and her attorney keeps saying that liberal fascists are responsible for this. NO, it's the same right-winged guys, the Muckrakers, who got rid of Cawthorne the sexually assaulting, Nazi, lover of God and Christianity thank GOD.

I'm sure she's upset that people are praying for HER demise. I've seen some people's comments on various websites about what she prayed for concerning Biden. Funny how she's butt-hurt because people are calling for her Christian butt to have her what comes around goes back around moment. Some of those comments about her were priceless .....

The information and the sis in-law are in touch with authorities. We'll wait and see how both cases turn out. I do think folks should stop being so eager to believe and defend Boebert. A con, liar, manipulator and just all around scumbag. She has republicans to defend her, she doesn't need democrats, especially on DU.
