Rep. Lauren Boebert is blaming Hollywood for her decision to switch congressional districts.

“We have to shut down the Hollywood elites who are trying to buy my current district,” Boebert told Steve Bannon on his “War Room” podcast on Saturday.

“There has been close to $10 million poured into this district to buy this seat. Colorado’s 3rd District is not for sale,” she continued.

Boebert then named the stars, who she said were backing her rivals.

“When you have Barbra Streisand coming in and donating to the Democrat, when you have Ryan Reynolds coming in and donating to the Democrat, it shows you that Hollywood is trying to buy their way into Congress,” Boebert told Bannon.

    It might be that some of us are tired of seeing people who amount to real life Internet trolls like Trump, Boebert and MTG incite hatred and dictating the future of the country that we live in.

    Trust me, nobody would spend this amount of money and effort if this isn’t important.

    I’m surprised this hasn’t been brought up yet, but obligatory reminder that “Hollywood Elites” is a dogwhistle that means “Jews.” It’s antisemitic.

    I don’t know if Lauren knows that, but I’m sure she knows her supporters say that shit and doesn’t care what baggage such a phrase comes with.

      She’s just parroting other conservatives when she says this shit. She doesn’t really know anything. She’s legitimately the dumbest person in Congress. It’s not even close. Gosar is the dumbest doctor but still a doctor. Tuberville at least knows how to coach college football, for what that’s worth. And MTG is probably twice as smart as Boebert, which still makes MTG the second dumbest person in Congress.

    So… it’s not because she was going to lose a race that she only won by ~500 votes last time despite it being a GOP-leaning district? Ohh, damn that Berg from Two Guys a Girl and a Pizza Place

      It’s not because she is a complete embarrassment to her district, state, and country… it is totally because of that guy that starred in the smash hit superhero movie filmed exclusively in varying shades of green.

    So she thinks she’s owed a job in a public office? I bet she thinks people who receive welfare are entitled.

    Boebert was literally a stripper recommended to office via cock sucking.

    Anything she says is worth less than dog shit.

        Specifically I’m not discounting her for being a stripper as much as I am the cock-based nepotism involved in her acquiring her current position.

        If she actually had a decent thought in her brain, her past wouldn’t matter, however, her sucking cock is why she got the job, not because she actually was qualified for it.

        A stripper or adult entertainer can be qualified for the job if she or he has the mental faculties to actually reflect on and try to improve the situation of their constituents, but that’s not what she’s doing nor what she was put in her position for.

    “I will not allow dark money that is directed at destroying me personally to steal this seat,” Boebert said in a Facebook video on Wednesday.

    It’s always the same bullshit. Her opponent got more donations than her and suddenly the seat is being “stolen”. She doesn’t own this seat. She barely held on last election. I hope she tries to move districts and burns out in the primary.

    She’s just salty because it turns out those two Hollywood phonies had a taser. And they tased her in the butthole. She fell to the ground but the phonies didn’t let up. Her butthole was on fire.

    You can’t trust the system, man.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Rep. Lauren Boebert is blaming Hollywood for her decision to switch congressional districts.

    “We have to shut down the Hollywood elites who are trying to buy my current district,” Boebert told Steve Bannon on his “War Room” podcast on Saturday.

    “My opponent has plenty of funding from Soros dark money and even Hollywood liberals like Barbra Streisand and Ryan Reynolds,” she wrote in a post on X.

    According to the Federal Election Commission, both Streisand and Reynolds have donated $1,500 each to Boebert’s rival, Democratic candidate Adam Frisch.

    On Tuesday, Business Insider reported that Frisch had raised over $7.7 million, according to the FEC.

    “I will not allow dark money that is directed at destroying me personally to steal this seat,” Boebert said in a Facebook video on Wednesday.

    Can’t win my current district, this $3000 dollar donation is proof that there is 10 million in dark money behind my rival - couldn’t be me getting caught jerking off some random guy at a play for kids

    Anyone still supporting her after that has got to be blind and deaf
