I see a lot of Boebert ads

And they drive me up the wall.

An acquaintance of mine said this Boebert thing visited a local union hall to ask for support, and said she supports unions. She proceeded to demonstrate that she's dumber than a box of rocks. So I was curious. I'm really not finding a whole lot of information about her other than that she's a gun nut and doesn't respect the law. Does anyone know anything about her? I'm finding nothing about any education that she has, and am suspecting that she is probably a high school dropout. She's woefully inexperienced and ignorant. If she wins against Diane Mitsch Bush (and unfortunately she's the front runner), she's going to be a colossal embarrassment for the state of Colorado.

All I can say is that it's sickening.

According to this article she has had multiple arrests, financial issues, and dropped out of high school but got her GED.

When she was arrested at a festival she shouted that she had "friends at Fox News."

She also flirted with QAnon, although her campaign denies that she is involved in any conspiracy theories.

Evidently her campaign is somewhat loose with the truth

- she got her GED in May of 2020 (she did not graduate from Rifle High School)
- her mother was a registered Republican throughout her childhood (she was not brought up in a 'Democrat household' as she claims).

I mean, it's not my intention to condemn her for getting a GED instead of a high school diploma, but she waited until May of this year to get it??? WTF.

Do you know if her mother is alive?

As far as her honesty, well, she's a repuke, so why would anyone expect her to be honest!?

Thanks for that info.

I've donated to Diane Mitsch Bush a couple of times, but my blood pressure goes up too easily to pay much attention to Boebert ... or Trump .. or the rest of the GOP traitors.

In Lake County, several weeks went by with Gardner and Boebert signs.
Thankfully, more Biden, Hickenlooper, and Busch signs are appearing.
