Disgraced Colorado GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert is STILL on track to win primary in new district after 37-year-old grandma was filmed fondling boyfriend’s privates and vaping at theater musical
Controversy-plagued Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert is likely to keep her spot in the House of Representatives despite scandal after scandal and what one pollster calls a “terrible” brand.
Boebert, who has served in Colorado’s 3rd District since 2021, announced in December that she would run for another seat in Colorado Congress in 2024.
Instead, she will seek to replace retiring Republican Rep. Ken Buck in Colorado’s 4th Congressional District, the state’s most conservative district, after nearly losing her seat to a Democrat in 2022.
Some wonder if she can maintain power after experiencing everything from an infamous exclusion from a Beetlejuice theater performance to a nasty divorce and her son’s legal troubles that have kept her in the news for all the wrong reasons.
However, one independent pollster believes that may not matter because she represents the interests of her new district and is still backed by close ally and former President Donald Trump.

Some wonder if she can hold on to power after dealing with everything from an infamous exclusion from a Beetlejuice theater performance (pictured) to a nasty divorce and her son’s legal troubles that put her in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons. kept news.
“Her personal brand is terrible,” said pollster Floyd Cirulli of Colorado ABC news.
“Not just because of the specific problem in the 4th (Congressional District), which is that she’s a carpetbagger, but what she brings is just terrible. Under normal circumstances she wouldn’t be chosen,” he continued.
However, in a race full of candidates, she likely has a majority, if not necessarily a majority, to win.
“Even if her personal brand is as low as it gets and damaged, she would probably still get a third of the votes,” Cirulli said.
“And in a multi-candidate field, we’re assuming a third of the vote will get her the primary.”
Former President Donald Trump endorsed Boebert two weeks ago, amid her son’s legal troubles and the congresswoman’s messy divorce saga.
Trump called the 37-year-old grandmother a “Proven Conservative” and a “trusted America First Fighter,” giving the Colorado Republican his “Complete and Total Endorsement.”
“Congresswoman Lauren Boebert is a proven conservative and effective leader who is delivering results for Colorado and our America First agenda,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

In a Truth Social post, Trump called Boebert a “Proven Conservative” and a “trusted America First Fighter”
“Congresswoman Lauren Boebert is a trusted America First Fighter and has my full and complete support for Colorado’s 4th Congressional District!”
Cirulli believes this will keep her in tune with the MAGA movement and make her likely to win.
“She has the money, she has universal name identification, she has some other people, so there will be a multi-candidate vote. And initially she had the support of Johnson (Speaker of the House of Representatives Mike), and now she has Trump’s. And that is a Trump district,” he added.
Although Colorado has already decided on its presidential candidates, the state won’t hold a congressional primary until June 25, giving Boebert some time to gain ground.
She applauded Trump’s endorsement in posts on X.
“I am honored to have the support of the greatest president our country has ever known – Donald J. Trump,” said the said the Colorado Republican. “It will be a privilege to work with him in 2024 to deliver results for Colorado and get the entire country back on track!”
In another post, she held up a draft of Trump’s Truth Social post and called it “MY President.”
It’s the latest twist in the story of the politician whose biggest hits include accusations that she beat her ex-husband, accusations that she pointed a gun at an Obama-supporting staffer and trying to prove that a WWE star was her biological father.
Boebert has had several notable run-ins with law enforcement in the past

Arguably the most infamous incident involving Boebert was when she was removed from a Denver theater after falling in love with her date.
Boebert was filmed lashing out at theater staff after she was booted from a Beetlejuice performance for singing along – with staff claiming she also vaped and took photos during the performance.
Surveillance footage shows Boebert, wearing a tight, low-cut gold dress and high heels, making a fuss as she and a handsome, mysterious man are sent away.
She can be seen taking a selfie as she leaves the venue and angrily baring her teeth at the staff as she is escorted through the lobby.
According to The Denver Post, the lawmaker declared at one point, “Do you know who I am?” Afterwards, Boebert and her smartly dressed date were caught on camera walking through the empty nighttime streets of the Mile High City.
Just weeks later, Boebert was accused of using campaign funds to watch a bicycle race in which her partner that night, Aspen bar owner Quinn Gallagher, was participating.
Earlier this month, Boebert’s 18-year-old son Tyler was released from jail Wednesday on 22 charges, including five felonies, related to property thefts in the Rifle, Colorado, area, with one victim saying she now can’t afford to pay for brain to pay. surgery.
Her son’s legal troubles come in the months after the congresswoman finalized her divorce from husband Jayson, who called the police on Tyler in January after his father allegedly pushed and grabbed him.
Boebert, 36, and her mystery man quickly made their way through the lobby and out the front doors
Lauren and Jayson married in 2005. They met when she was working at McDonald’s at the age of 16. He was 22 at the time.
To dawn later, Boebert denied hitting her ex-husband at a Colorado restaurant after making “lewd advances” toward her.
None of her family scandals have stopped Trump from calling her an “effective leader.”
In 2022, Boebert nearly lost her Republican-leaning district to Democrat Adam Frisch, defeating him by just 546 votes.
Last February, Frisch said he planned to challenge Boebert again for her seat in Colorado’s Third Congressional District.
That move prompted Boebert to announce in December that she would run for another seat in Colorado Congress in 2024.
Instead, she will seek to replace retiring Republican Rep. Ken Buck in Colorado’s 4th Congressional District, the state’s most conservative district.
Ten Republicans are currently vying for that seat, with the Denver Post reporting in early February that Boebert started the year with a fundraising advantage.
Anyway, Boebert came in fifth place in a straw poll of voters in her new district.
