Stunning Colorado Poll Suggests Lauren Boebert Is Toast In 2024

 

Colorado Republican Congresswoman Lauren Boebert found herself in one of the closest reelection battles in the country in 2022, managing to eek out a victory over Democrat Adam Frisch by the slimmest of margins, just 546 votes in a district that leans to the right.

New polling out of Colorado, however, suggests that Boebert won’t be so lucky come 2024, according to a report from Sara Wilson of Colorado Newsline.

An early poll shows incumbent U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert and Adam Frisch, the Democrat who came close to unseating the Republican in 2022, in a tie for the seat amid current political conditions.

If the 2024 election were held today with the two candidates, 45% of voters would choose Frisch and 45% would choose Boebert, according to findings from a poll released Tuesday.

An incumbent in a tie with her opponent with the 2024 election cycle set to begin (at least in part) later this year. That’s not exactly what a sitting member of the Congress wants to hear.

About all Frisch has to do at this point if he wants to win is increase his name recognition, something he’ll have plenty of money to accomplish as the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee announced has announced that it will indeed be targeting Boebert for defeat in 2024.

Frisch also has an opening among Republican voters, according to the poll.

Among Republicans who described themselves as not very conservative, 60% back Boebert, 24% back Frisch and 16% are undecided. Pollsters said this shows an opportunity for Frisch to gain ground with center-of-right voters who may be disillusioned with Boebert’s extreme politics and who might agree with Frisch’s stance on abortion and economic policies. Frisch painted himself as a moderate last year.

But the most troubling result from the poll is that many in the district say they don’t believe Boebert’s priorities align with theirs.

Respondents listed addressing inflation and protecting Social Security as the two most important issues for Congress to focus on. They put defending former President Donald Trump and self-promotion on social media as the two bottom priorities among those offered by pollsters. Those two issues, however, were the ones respondents ranked as the top priorities Boebert seems to be focused on.

In other words, Boebert is doing exactly the opposite of what her constituents want her to be doing. She’s busy representing herself and defending Trump, but not helping to solve the problems that confront the average middle class voter.

There’s also the matter of Boebert’s unfavorable rating, which continues to skyrocket.

In March 2021, 39% of respondents had an unfavorable view of Boebert. Today, that number stands at 50%, which suggests she is ripe for defeat.

546 votes were all that kept Boebert in Congress. But it certainly sounds like voters in her district are ready to kick her to the curb once and for all.

Jen Psaki Perfectly Trolls Lauren Boebert: ‘Are You Sure You’re Not In Middle School?’

Former White House press secretary Jen Psaki hilariously tolled Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) for her recent attempts to impeach President Joe Biden that led to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) calling her a “little bitch” on the House floor.

Psaki was asked by MSNBC host Joe Scarborough about the Boebert-Greene confrontation: “Jen Psaki, again, the chaos continues in the House. I can’t help but think, at the end of the day, all this is going to do is damage the House candidates and turn the House back over to Democrats.”

“Well, exactly,” Psaki responded. “I mean, in some ways, the White House and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee don’t have to do much aside from get out of the way.”

“Their entire message is competence versus chaos,” Psaki added. “As we just heard, kind of the outline from John Heilemann about the back-and-forth fight between Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Taylor Greene, I mean, Lauren Boebert responded and said, ‘I’m not in middle school.’ It’s like, are you sure you’re not in middle school? That’s how middle schoolers act, you know?”

Psaki noted that the contrast between the House and the White House is clear and could indeed be used against the GOP in 2024.

“If you’re the American public sitting at home, you’re thinking, ‘what a waste of time, what a waste of my time that they are doing there. That is exactly the contrast that the White House, if you’re sitting in the White House right now, my old colleagues there, if you’re sitting in the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and you’re working with Democratic candidates, you’re going to run on, ‘We’ll do something. We will fight for you the public. That is chaotic and crazy there, and we will not be that.'”

Lauren Boebert Files For Divorce From Her Husband And Twitter Is Having A Field Day

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) filed for divorce from her husband of over two decades, according to The Daily Beast, which obtained the court documents.

The April 25 filing seeks to dissolve her marriage to Jayson Boebert, with whom she shares four sons. An affidavit of service, also obtained by The Daily Beast, indicate that Jayson Boebert appeared to be caught off guard by the court proceedings. He chased away a process server with an expletive-laden tirade and let his dogs loose when he was served with the divorce papers, the affidavit said.

“Once he learned that he was being served with Dissolution of Marriage papers he was extremely angry,” the process server wrote. “I tried to hand him the documents but [he] did not take them. He started yelling and using profanities, and told me that I was trespassing, and that he was calling the Sheriff’s Office. I told him I was leaving the documents on the chair outside of the door, he closed the door then let the dogs out.”

The document noted that Jayson was cleaning a gun and drinking a “tall glass of beer” when he was served.

As you’d expect when it comes to a hypocrite like Congresswoman Boebert, who repeatedly talks about the importance of “family values,” she issued a statement which sounds like something written by a fake Christian who needs to try and make something go away as quickly as possible before she gets back up on her sanctimonious soapbox

“It is with a heavy weight on my heart that I have filed for divorce from my husband,” the statement said. “I am grateful for our years of marriage together and for our beautiful children, all of whom deserve privacy and love as we work through this process. I’ve always been faithful in my marriage, and I believe strongly in marriage, which makes this announcement that much more difficult. This is truly about irreconcilable differences.”

Twitter had a field day with the news.

Lauren Boebert Owns Herself By Suggesting She’s Smarter Than Kamala Harris

Colorado Republican Congresswoman Lauren Boebert is again displaying her own lack of self-awareness and basic intelligence with an attack she made on Vice President Kamala Harris, whom she accused of not being educated.

Commenting on a video she shared on Twitter of the VP making remarks, Boebert wrote, “The same people who will try and knock me for having a GED think this lady represents intelligence and eloquence. Whoever paid for her education wasted their money.”

As Uproxx rightly notes, Boebert’s reported troubles passing the GED are only one reason she’s seen as being one of the most intellectually-challenged members of Congress.

Of course, Boebert misses the point while believing that her GED is why people pile onto her on a regular basis. She has frequently trashed education to the point where she called to abolish the entire education department. And given that she only acquired her GED a mere few months before being elected to Congress, her interest in pursuing it probably had little to do with actual learning. She’s also stepped in on previous occasions by proposing a lot more time for lawmakers to read bills, so there’s that.

This isn’t the first time Boebert has humiliated herself for all the world to see.

When you act perpetually clueless and moronic, you get labeled as such, and it has nothing at all to do with a GED, as Twitter users quickly reminded the doltish Ms. Boebert.

Lauren Boebert Accused Of ‘Illegally Spending’ $60,000 In Run-Up To 2022 Midterm Election

Colorado Republican Congresswoman Lauren Boebert is in trouble yet again for illegally spending $60,000 worth of campaign money in the run-up to the 2022 midterm election and reporting it improperly, according to a complaint filed with the Federal Elections Commission (FEC).

End Citizens United filed the complaint. It alleges that Boebert spent some $60,000 on “get out the vote” phone calls and text messages.

Those outreach efforts are considered “in-kind” expenditures, but Boebert’s campaign didn’t report them as such, which is a violation of FEC rules.

According to the complaint, Newsweek reports,”Boebert may have made an illegal in-kind contribution to herself that exceeds the $5,000 limit set by federal law, or spent money to influence another campaign without reporting it, as required by federal law.”

“Congresswoman Boebert used her leadership PAC as a personal bank but, unfortunately for her, this practice is illegal under federal law,” End Citizens United President Tiffany Muller noted.

The details of the expenditures clearly indicate that Boebert and her campaign did indeed violate the FEC rule.

Boebert For Congress reported paying $4,623.22 to Telephone Town Hall Meeting, Inc. for “text message advertising” on October 28, 2022, FEC filings show, while We The People Leadership PAC paid $6,221.73 to Telephone Town Hall Meeting, Inc. for “Voter Contact – GOTV Calls/Texts”

Then, on November 18, 2022, We The People Leadership PAC paid Telephone Town Hall Meeting, Inc. for $53,760.25 for conducting “Voter Contact – GOTV Calls/Texts.”

The group believes that as two of the payments occurred on the same day, this also indicates the leadership PAC’s disbursement was either a contribution to Boebert’s campaign or an independent expenditure in support of Boebert or other candidates.

The congresswoman has not yet commented on the alleged violation.
