BetMGM operates pursuant to an operating agreement with iGaming Ontario. folks in an unexpected and cowardly move lauren bobert is ditching her congressional district
she's currently representing colorado's third congressional district which is a plus nine
republican district let me repeat that a plus nine Republican congressional district. However,
Lauren Boebert is so concerned about losing in the upcoming 2024 elections to Adam Frisch, who
nearly defeated her in the midterms. He lost by only about 600 votes to Lauren Boebert.
Lauren Boebert has decided to abandon her congressional district,
and she will now be running in the fourth congressional district,
which is being vacated by Ken Buck, who is leaving the House of Representatives
after being so disenchanted by MAGA taking over the Republican Party and Republicans in the House of Representatives
refusing to state that President Joe Biden was the winner of the 2020 election.
Lauren Boebert announced this news on, you guessed it, a Facebook post. We'll play you that announcement in just a moment, but here's
how it's being reported by Colorado Sun. I always want to give a shout out to local media where I
can. So this is from the Colorado Sun. Jesse Paul writes, Lauren Boebert will switch congressional
districts to improve her chances of winning in 2024. Boebert will switch congressional districts to improve her chances of winning in 2024.
Boebert will run in Colorado's 4th congressional district next year instead of the 3rd congressional
district because the 4th district is viewed as more favorable to Republicans.
More favorable?
The 3rd congressional district's a plus 9.
By the way, that tells you everything you need to know about how Republicans
are so fearful of the 2024 elections. It talks about how Lauren Boebert announced on her Facebook
that she'll be leaving Colorado's third congressional district, running instead
for Colorado's fourth congressional district because the fourth district leans 27 points
towards GOP, where the third district only leans nine percentage points.
That this bombshell announcement was made on Lauren Boebert's Facebook page.
It talks about how she had a narrow victory in 2022 by a little more than 500 or so votes, slightly under 600 votes.
The article goes on to talk about the Beetlejuice incident where Lauren Boebert was seen on surveillance footage fondling her then-boyfriend while blowing vape smoke on people at this public theater in Denver.
It also talks about a lot of her other foibles and her disgusting statements that she's made
and her general oddity and dangerous and out-of-touch behavior with her congressional district.
It talks about how Boebert, a 37-year-old divorced
mother of four boys, who is also a grandmother, lives in Garfield County near the town of Silt,
which is hundreds of miles from the 4th District's boundaries. However, members of Congress don't
have to live in their district, just the state the district is in, so she doesn't have to move to
run for the fourth district, which she has no attachment to and which she does not live in.
It talks about how Boebert had $1.4 million in her third district campaign account at the end
of September, money that she can use for her run for the 4th District. But it talks about how
when it comes to the 4th Congressional District, since Ken Buck announced that he would be leaving,
that's the Republican, as I mentioned at the outset of this video, currently holding that
congressional seat. A lot of other candidates have already put their hat in that they're vying
to replace Buck. You have former state Senator Jerry Sonnenberg of Sterling.
He's currently the Logan County Commissioner.
You've got state representative Richard Haltorf of Akron.
You've got conservative talk radio host Deborah Flora.
And then you have former state Senator Ted Harvey of Highlands Ranch.
The Colorado House Minority Leader Mike Lynch of Wellington is expected to enter the race in the coming days.
And so Boebert's going to have to prevail in the primary in the fourth congressional district to be better than her chances of
defeating Adam Frisch in a new campaign in the new race for 2024.
It was actually 546 votes was the amount that Boebert won in 2022.
And now what this article says as well is that the Republicans can try to
put somebody in Colorado's third congressional district that may be more palatable and Adam
Frisch running against Lauren Boebert's extremism may be blunted if the Republicans put in someone
who's, I guess, viewed as more moderate than Lauren Boebert. But
I'll take a bit of a contrarian view on things from where the Colorado Sun puts it. I mean,
to me, doesn't this show anybody in the third congressional district just how phony the
Republicans are? Doesn't it show them that Lauren Boebert and all in the entire Republican Party spent all of this money and effort to con them?
You had Adam Frisch who wanted to represent them with dignity in 2022 and Lauren Boebert ran for a seat in a congressional district that she's running away from, that she doesn't care and never cared about her constituents.
And frankly, I think that's the
broader point as we get into 2024. And that's this, that these MAGA Republicans rather host
podcasts and do videos and do TV shows and, I don't know, live out their fantasies of
being Hollywood actors that they failed at, like Lauren Boebert and like Marjorie
Taylor Greene, and live these fantasies through their roles in the House of Representatives
while taking away our freedoms, taking away our rights, and behaving in such a bankrupt
and corrupt manner.
I think the voters will take notice of this and any Republican who claims
that they're going to be representing the third or I think Lauren Boebert claiming she wants to
represent the fourth. How do you look at that and say that seems about right? No, these are people
who are trying to dupe you. And I think the American people are going to be far more savvy
to that and see what's going on. So let me show you now the video here of Lauren Boebert announcing on her Facebook page that she is leaving.
See you later, 3rd Congressional District of Colorado.
Boebert out. Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice. Here, play the clip.
Today, I am announcing my candidacy for the 2024 Republican nomination to represent Colorado's
fourth congressional district in the United States House of Representatives.
It's the right move for me personally, and it's the right decision for those who support
our conservative movement.
This is the right move for Colorado, for us.
And there you have it, folks.
Goodbye, Lauren Boebert from the 3rd Congressional District. I think this will back the third will see Adam Frisch, the Democratic
candidate, as someone who has been authentic, who's been there, been in the community,
has not abandoned the community, and represents stable and consistent leadership. Tell me what
