Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colorado) was mocked on social media for attracting a tiny crowd at a recent Colorado GOP speaking event.
On March 23, Boebert had attended a Republican Central Committee assembly taking place in Brighton, Colorado.
“Great to be with you today, Adams County GOP,” she wrote in an X post made on Saturday.
The post consisted of three images taken during the event which also show a nearly empty room.
It was not made clear what Boebert had spoken about, but, according to the Adams County Republican Party website, this event was focused on voting on candidate primaries.
Many X users mocked Boebert’s post.
“Wow,” one user wrote. “A real crowd you got there!”
“I’ve seen more people at bus stops during torrential downpours,” another user wrote.
“Geez they could have met in her living room,” said another.
In December 2023, Boebert announced that she was switching from Colorado’s third congressional district to the state’s fourth congressional district.
She explained her decision in a Facebook video, in which she shared her choice to represent the fourth congressional district.
“It’s the right move for me personally, and it’s the right decision for those who support our conservative movement,” Boebert stated. “This is the right move for Colorado.”
According to the Colorado representative, the district that she had switched to is “solidly Republican.”
Back in January, Boebert finished in fifth place in a straw poll that ranked the candidates running in the Republican primary for Colorado’s fourth congressional district.
Logan County Commissioner Jerry Sonnenberg came in first place with 22 out of 117 votes. Former Colorado House Minority Leader Mike Lynch was in second place with 20 votes, while Douglas County filmmaker Deborah Flora came in third, receiving 18 votes.
Boebert got 12 votes, and this had placed her behind House Minority Whip Richard Holtorf, who received 17 votes.
A straw poll was conducted on March 3, only a day after Boebert had been endorsed in her race by Trump, during a debate in Holyoke, Colorado.
The Colorado congressional primary is going to take place on June 25.
On February 27, Boebert’s son, Tyler Boebert, was arrested for property theft and vehicle trespassing in Colorado.
Tyler is facing 22 potential charges.
One of the individuals he and his friends supposedly stole from was a 33-year-old woman. Tyler and his friends took the woman’s wallet which held $75 in cash, Venmo debit cards and her mother’s credit card. The wallet had been taken from the woman’s car.
The woman said that she “literally has nothing” left after the robbery. She claimed that she was saving money for brain surgery for a tumor.
