Boebert's backers urge her to 'tone down the nasty rhetoric'

RIFLE, Colo. (AP) Debbie Hartman voted for Lauren Boebert for Congress in 2020 and again in 2022, delighted by Boeberts unequivocal defense of cultural issues that animate the Republican Partys far right flank. But as Hartman shopped recently at a supermarket in this Rocky Mountain ranching outpost, she had one piece of advice for the Colorado lawmaker.
Tone down the nasty rhetoric on occasion and just stick with the point at hand, said Hartman, 65, a veterinary tech assistant.
That sentiment reflects Boeberts challenge as she begins her second term in the House. In her relatively short time in Washington, she has built a national profile with a combative style embracing everything from gun ownership to apocalyptic religious rhetoric. Constituents such as Hartman in the Republican-leaning 3rd Congressional District laud Boebert for defending their rights, but cringe at her provocations, contributing to an unexpectedly tight race last year that she won by just 546 votes out of more than 300,000 cast.
She tapped into what Trump was doing, and she maybe took it too far in some instances, said Alex Mason, 27, adding that Boebert, whom he supports, is still more tactful than former President Donald Trump.

In fact, she probably already has.

Stupid foolish interview, just like Boebert.. stupid and foolish. I'd like to ask her, what "rights" are Boebert defending?

(23,336 posts)Like a modern-day Madame Pompadour (of sorts), she's dead-set on putting her claws in the Oval Office someday.
And as you know, for her the next step is the Vice-Presidency - which of course means she'll try to create as much attention around herself as possible.
It'll be one publicity stunt after another from that one - even more than the last two years have been.
