Barbra Streisand – Deep Left Field

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:

With the end-of-month deadline upon us, I'm asking each and every one of you for help ensuring my campaign has the resources to win.

If we lose Colorado's 3rd District, the House is in MAJOR jeopardy of falling into Democrat hands.

My opponent has plenty of funding from Soros…

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.

Donald Trump is a braggart. He loves to toot his own horn and talk about all of the great things he’s accomplished as a businessman (even though he’s filed bankruptcy on multiple occasions) and all he did while he was in the White House, where he allowed the COVID pandemic to run rampant and kill hundreds of thousands of Americans while the U.S. economy tanked and unemployment skyrocketed to double digits.

Trump is also a pathological liar. He lies about everything. If he tells you the sky is blue, go outside and check. It won’t be.

How do you counter such a man? Well, according to award-winning singer and actress Barbra Streisand, you use cold hard facts to cut Donald down to size and remind him that he’s a loser and always has been.

Speaking to Variety, Streisand was asked about the four years that Trump was president, and she didn’t mince any words:

“That was four years in a black hole. Unforgivable. Four years of people dying unnecessarily because they didn’t tell the truth. The truth is so important. Tell people the truth, they can deal with it.”

Streisand also gave her thoughts on the Capitol insurrection:

“What’s so hard to understand is all the hate and violence that Trump invoked during his years and how that manifested itself in the January 6th insurrection and the falsities and the lies that are still floating around about an election that Biden won by 7 million votes.”

Truth is the perfect antidote to Trump’s lies, and that’s when Streisand provided exactly what we all need to forever troll the Donald and his delusional supporters:

“‘When you think of it, Al Gore lost the election by 537 votes. Hillary Clinton lost the election by 77,000 votes. But Trump lost the election by 7 million votes. I think they should show that every day on TV.”

They certainly should. Run it anytime Trump or someone who supports him is on TV and trying to spread their bullshit. Run it right under their image and keep running it as long as they’re on the air.
