Lauren Boebert mounts defense to criticisms of 'carpetbagging' in packed first Republican debate

Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert has argued her case in the first Republican primary debate in the district where she is now running, facing local opponents who lobbed accusations of Boebert being a “carpetbagger."

FORT LUPTON, Colo. (AP) — Republican primary candidate Mike Lynch didn’t sugarcoat the question to his opponent on the crammed debate stage, Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert, who hopped into the race last month partly over fear of a loss in the district she currently represents.

“Could you give the definition of ‘carpetbagger?’” Lynch asked to low murmurs from the crowd at the first Republican primary debate in Fort Lupton, a community in Colorado’s 4th District.

It was expected. The candidate before Lynch had asked the same question, if more delicately put. The accusation had already been lobbed at Boebert after she joined the packed primary race, escaping a rematch against Democrat Adam Frisch, who nearly beat her in the last election.

With Republicans hanging onto control of the U.S. House by their fingertips, Republicans and Democrats are wrestling fiercely over every close race. That includes the seat Boebert holds in Colorado’s 3rd District, which was considered solidly leaning to the GOP but changed to a toss-up for this year after Boebert won by only 546 votes in 2022.

If Boebert gets a single vote this time it will be one more vote than she has earned, and one more vote than she deserves. How anyone could vote for her lazy, low IQ ass is beyond my comprehension.

Her being thrown out of that Denver theater for vaping & misconduct shows that she is still a juvenile.

So much for switching districts.

Wasn’t there a show of hands before the debate as to who had been inside a jail, (not visiting,) four or five of the candidates raised their hands an hi-fired each other. What’s going on out there in Centennial land?
