Boebert dips her beak into $3380 in campaign funds to attend Kid Rock show, violating Federal law

"The Colorado congresswoman attended Rock N Rodeo — a May 16 event hosted by the 54-year-old singer — during the Professional Bull Riding Championship World Finals at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas," reported Adam Downer. "Boebert, 38, even reposted a photo of herself in a cowboy hat cozying up to the rocker at the rodeo-meets-concert experience."

Her post was accompanied by the message "Making America GREAT Again."

According to the report, "Federal Election Committee data shows that three days after the event, the Republican representative’s campaign paid $2,455.83 to 'Live by Loews,' a hotel in Arlington, Texas, as well as $925 worth of 'Event Tickets' to AT&T Stadium."

This would appear to run afoul of federal laws that bar candidates for office from personal use of campaign funds — something for which many members of Congress have been criminally prosecuted in recent years, although Trump issued pardons for a number of them.
