Boebert brags about scoring $20 million in earmarks that came from bill she opposed

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) voted against the government funding bill, but reveled in the largess it delivered to her current Colorado district.

On March 6, Boebert cast a vote opposing a bill to keep the government open, according to Business Insider.

She even retweeted a thread by Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) knocking the bills as the "Swamp Omnibus", "minibus" and "monstrosity" — griping about how the GOP gave up on "key demands."

Weeks later, when the bill allocated $20 million to Colorado's 3rd Congressional District, Boebert suddenly started gushing over the bill's benefits.

"Can't wait for the ribbon cuttings and to see these priorities come to fruition," the congresswoman stated in a release that hyped up nearly a dozen projects across the district that were getting funded by federal dollars.

That means there will be a $5 million earmarks for a Wolf Creek water reservoir, an influx of funds to improve highway in western Colorado, among other projects.

Boebert did not respond to questions from Business Insider asking why she had an apparent change of heart about a bill she opposed.
