Colorado Republican Congresswoman Lauren Boebert wants us to believe that reason she recently had to change congressional districts is because Hollywood celebrities like Barbra Streisand and Ryan Reynolds.
Business Insider reports that Boebert made her comments during an appearance on Steve Bannon’s “War Room” podcast.
“We have to shut down the Hollywood elites who are trying to buy my current district,” Boebert began, adding:
“There has been close to $10 million poured into this district to buy this seat. Colorado’s 3rd District is not for sale.”
Next came mention of Streisand and Reynolds.
“When you have Barbra Streisand coming in and donating to the Democrat, when you have Ryan Reynolds coming in and donating to the Democrat, it shows you that Hollywood is trying to buy their way into Congress.”
Boebert made similar comments in November, posting on Twitter/X:
According to the Federal Election Commission (FEC), Streisand and Reynolds have each donated $1,500 to help defeat Boebert.
Just last week, Boebert formally announced she would be running in Colorado’s 4th Congressional District. It’s considered to be more conservative than the 3rd District which she currently represents.
Additionally, Boebert’s Democratic opponent in District 3, Adam Frisch is dramatically outpacing her in fundraising, which is the key to a successful campaign.
Frisch raised a staggering $7.7 million, according to FEC reports. Boebert has only been able to muster $2.4 million in political contributions.
