Why is Trump angry at Lauren Bobolt?
Boebert’s decision to back Massie now costs her the president’s support trump card. “Is anyone interested in running against the weak-willed Lauren Boebert in Colorado’s 4th Congressional District?” Trump wrote in Truth Social on Saturday. He called her a “carpet liar” who “campaigned for the worst ‘Republican’ congressman in the history of our country.”
Trump has been pushing for Massey’s ouster and has backed his opponent, Ed Gallrein, a Navy SEAL and farmer whom he calls a “true American patriot.” Massey has been publicly critical of Trump for months and has worked with Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna on legislation such as the Epstein Dossier Transparency Act and the Iran War Powers Resolution, The Independent reported.
Despite the backlash, Boebert seemed unfazed. “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 wrote on. “I have been and always will be, America First, America Forever and MAGA. Keep going,” she added.
Trump, who has endorsed Boebert four times, now appears to have ended their alliance. “While I endorsed Boebert long ago, if the right candidate comes along, I would be honored to withdraw that endorsement and support a good, appropriate alternative. Just announce your candidacy and I will support you!” he wrote Saturday.
