To this day, Boebert has no idea who her father is.
Lane took a court-ordered paternity test, which determined he wasn’t Boebert’s dad.
I personally have never publicly claimed he was my father but certainly, that allegation is out there."
Because of the pregnancy, Boebert was forced to drop out of high school.
“And I chose to take care of my child.”
(Boebert eventually attained her GED, months before she was elected to Congress in 2019).
As a high-school dropout, her career options were limited.
Firearms, however, weren’t the only controversy to engulf Shooters Grill.
“It’s been an amazing journey,” she told Rifle’sPost Independentof the restaurant’s closure.
“I don’t regret anything.
It’s always sad to close a chapter.
But this is where we’re at.”
Boebert, however, begged to differ.
Boebert struck a conservative chord, and her stunt earned her an interview on Fox News.
Boebert also opposed Colorado gun-control legislation and announced that she was running for Congress as a Republican.
She quickly gained a following among her district’s more right-wing constituents.
No one has ever restricted their people like this here in America."
The restaurant’s food license was subsequently suspended.
“I am very tired of hearing about fixing election fraud going forward,” Boeberttweeted.
“An election just happened.
Fix that one first!”
Then there was the furor over her campaign expenses.
As theDenver Postreported, Boebert had paid herself $22,259 in reimbursements for mileage during her campaign.
Ultimately, the Federal Election Commission dismissed a complaint lodged against her, and no formal action was taken.
Her actions on that date ledDenver Postopinion columnist Ian Silverii to call for either her resignation or expulsion.
“If Boebert isn’t held accountable for these actions, what on earth will she do next?”
Meanwhile, a group called Rural Colorado United issued a press release calling for her expulsion from Congress.
We can only hope that her colleagues in Congress expel her."
However, that statistic might not be as damning as it looks.
Then again, a few of those bills have been a little wacky.
That effort to impeach Biden also failed.
Lauren Boebert barely won re-election before switching districts
In 2022, Lauren Boebert was up for re-election.
Boebert once again won, but her victory was far narrower this time.
In fact, the voting had been so close that a recount needed to be held.
Apparently reading the writing on the wall, Boebert decided drastic action was needed ahead of the 2024 election.
She faced off against a group of challengers, but ultimately won the Republican primary in the 4th District.
The situation grew complicated in early 2024 when a dinner with her ex-husband turned ugly.
“This is a sad situation for all that keeps escalating …
Shortly after that incident, Jayson was arrested after an armed altercation with their 18-year-old son, Tyler.
Boebert was awarded a temporary restraining order against her ex, which she later dropped.
With another election looming, further damage control was required.
She continued by claiming her “difficult divorce” had “made for a challenging personal time …
I simply fell short of my values on Sunday.
That’s unacceptable and I’m sorry.”
