represent Lauren Boebert of colorado In response to President Donald Trump’s “Truth Society” post, he withdrew his support for the Republican Party.
Trump wrote: “Anyone interested in running against the weak-willed Lauren Boebert in Colorado’s 4th Congressional District? You remember when Lauren moved to this district it was clear she couldn’t win in her original Congressional District (3rd!).”
He then added the main reasons that led him to withdraw the endorsement. “A liar indeed! Boebert is running against the worst “Republican” Congressman in the history of our country, Thomas Massie from Kentucky, and any idiot should have had a good fight in the primary! Although I endorsed Boebert long ago, if the right person comes along, I would be honored to withdraw that endorsement and support a good and appropriate alternative. Please let me know or announce your candidacy and I will be there for you!”
Trump endorsed Ed Garlain to run against Massie in the Kentucky primary in what would be the most expensive primary in U.S. history. Massie, also a Republican, has drawn Trump’s ire for his stance on multiple issues. Most recently, he was one of a handful of Republicans who joined Marjorie Taylor Greene in pushing for the release of documents on Jeffrey Epstein.
Boebert also responded to Trump’s angry Truth Society post.
What Lauren Boebert had to say about Trump’s post
Boebert wrote “Yes, I saw the president’s post. No, I was not angry or offended. I knew the risks when I agreed to support my friend Thomas Massie.”
She continued, “I have been and always will be America First, America Forever and Keep MAGA Moving.”
Before Trump’s post about Boebert, outspoken far-right political commentator Laura Loomer, a staunch ally of the president, noted that Trump would be furious when he found out who Massey was running with today. Loomer was among those launching attacks on Massie as the primary approached.

Initially, Axios reported that Massie paid some hush money to West, but the Republican denied this. However, Loomer made extremely explosive remarks about Massie’s relationship with West. She also wrote that Massey had ties to Iran, which Fine’s representatives claimed was accurate and said he did communicate with Loomer as much.
Boebert stood up for Massie during the altercation and received support from many, whom she called a friend. “Without a doubt you knew it was coming and did the right thing anyway. Thank you,” one wrote. other additional “I stand with Lauren Boebert.”
Another one explain “MAGA is not America first. MAGA is Trump first. You can see the writing on the wall. MAGA is dying. A slow and painful death.”
