Boebert under investigation after police called over restaurant fight with her ex: report

An aide for Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) has confirmed their boss is under investigation by police after her former husband called the cops and accused her of "domestic violence" following a physical altercation at a local restaurant on the anniversary of the Jan. 6 insurrection.

The report from the Daily Beast's Roger Sollenberbger states the fight took place at the Miner’s Claim restaurant in Silt, Colorado after the two agreed to meet in a public place after an earlier confrontation when the GOP lawmaker went to pick up one of their sons.

At the earlier meet-up, Jayson Boebert reportedly moved "aggressively" toward his ex-wife and she took exception and pushed him away. Calling her later, he reportedly said he wanted to apologize and that was where things escalated.

According to Boebert's spokesperson, Jayson Boebert was “being disrespectful,” “being an assh*le,” and being “lewd," which led to it getting physical.

"As Lauren Boebert described it, the aide said, she tried again to keep him back and in the process 'put her hand in his face, put her hand on his nose,'" Sollenberger reported before adding, "Jayson Boebert, apparently outraged, called the police, claiming that he was 'a victim of domestic violence,' the Boebert aide said. Lauren Boebert then called the non-emergency number and told the police there was no domestic violence, and that she’d be happy to speak with an officer at the restaurant."

The report adds police did show up, no one was arrested but confirmed to the Beast that it remains an "active investigation."
