Congressperson Lauren Boebert likely saved her political career with a landslide victory in last month’s Republican Primary in CO-04. Now that she can exhale about her employment for the next few years, Boebert is free to be her true self… Her true ridiculous, uninformed, and embarrassing self. Boebert is still technically representing the third congressional district […]

One of carpetbagging-for-dear-life Rep. Lauren Boebert’s most criticized habits in her going on four years in Congress representing the Western Slope has been her first-audacious and now doggedly insistent taking of credit with constituents in her soon-to-be former district for projects that Boebert voted against–the overwhelming majority of votes in her first term, and even […]
From landmark new renter protections signed into law to the passage of important pieces of Gov.

It was a recurring theme during carpetbagging calamity Rep. Lauren Boebert’s term representing Colorado’s Third Congressional District that, after voting against legislation containing line items beneficial to her district, Boebert would take credit for these benefits with (at least at first) no attempt made to bridge the factual gap between her votes and press releases. […]
