After far-right Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) narrowly avoided losing — by just 546 votes — in 2022 and was deluged with bad press after being ejected from the "Beetlejuice" musical for lewd behavior, she jumped congressional districts, moving from the slightly conservative 3rd Congressional District to the deep-red 4th Congressional District vacated by retiring Trump critic Rep.

‘Bonfire of credibility’: GOP insider says Dem attacks on Trump will drive his vote

GOP insider Scott Jennings told a CNN panel on Friday that he's going to end up voting for former President Donald Trump — in part because he's so outraged at how Democrats have aggressively attacked Trump's comments on Liz Cheney.

Trump said at a recent campaign event that Cheney, a former Republican congresswoman who has been one of the most outspoken supporters of Vice President Kamala Harris from the right, should be staring down "nine barrels shooting at her ... when the guns are trained on her face." He has since tried to clean up his comments in the face of outrage from pundits and political opponents, denying that he was literally talking about a firing squad.

A GOP senator’s characterization of a clip of Donald Trump spewing violent language about former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) as a “distortion” and “pre-Election Day hoax” didn’t pass muster for CNN anchor Jake Tapper, who immediately pushed back.
