Rep. Lauren Boebert received some positive news. The controversial Colorado lawmaker and her family have been in the spotlight for negative reasons recently.
However, former President Donald Trump made a statement on the social media platform Truth Social on Saturday, expressing his support for Boebert as the preferred candidate to replace outgoing GOP Rep. Ken Buck in Colorado’s 4th Congressional District.
“Congresswoman Lauren Boebert is a Proven Conservative and Effective Leader who delivers for Colorado, and our America First agenda,” Trump wrote.
“She has led the fight to Impeach Joe Biden, Stop Illegal Immigration, Defend the Second Amendment, Protect our Wonderful Ranchers and Farmers, Support our Military and Veterans, Secure our Natural Resources to Pursue Energy Dominance, and Stand Up to the Radical Democrats who want to Destroy our Beautiful Country.
“Congresswoman Lauren Boebert is a trusted America First Fighter, and has my Complete and Total Endorsement for Colorado’s 4th Congressional District!”
Americans who are interested in politics have been exposed to a significant amount of negative information regarding Boebert over the past few months. Her very public, and frankly, quite scandalous, reentry into the dating scene in September, amidst a messy divorce, drew criticism from both the left and the right.
Reports of a public altercation with her estranged husband in January were quickly followed by additional reports a few days later about the husband’s arrest in connection to a dispute with the couple’s eldest son, Tyler, who is 18 years old.
Subsequently, news emerged last week about the arrest of the same son on several felony charges. As a vocal Republican, Boebert was already a target for criticism, and Trump’s unreserved endorsement must have felt like a ray of sunshine.
It’s my honor to have the endorsement of the greatest President our country has ever known – Donald J. Trump.
It will be such a privilege to work alongside him in 2024 to deliver results for Colorado & get the entire country back on track! pic.twitter.com/fk181I7dzZ
