Lauren Boebert raises eyebrows with comment pushing to secure Trump's 'third term'

GOP U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert, who won a House seat on Tuesday in a Colorado district to which she moved halfway through her term, called on fellow Republicans to "rally behind President Trump to secure his third term."

Boebert sailed to victory alongside Trump, who was removed from office in 2020 but elected again after defeating Vice President Kamala Harris.

In a comment posted on Facebook, Boebert said she is "deeply honored and humbled to have earned your trust, your vote, and the opportunity to represent you in the United States Congress."

"This victory is not just mine; it is ours. It belongs to every hard-working family, every farmer, every rancher, every small business owner, and every patriot in our district who believes in the principles that built our great nation," she said. "Together, we have sent a clear message to Washington: Colorado's 4th District will not bend to the whims of the establishment or the pressures of dark money."

She continued:

"To my opponents, I extend my hand in partnership because, at the end of the day, we all want what's best for Colorado and America. To my team, my tireless volunteers, and my family, your dedication has been the backbone of this victory. They’ve knocked on doors, made calls, and shared our message with passion and sincerity. Without them, this victory wouldn't be possible."

She then included a line that raised some eyebrows:

"This is not the end but a beginning. We have work to do. We need to ensure that our Republican majority in the House remains strong, and we must rally behind President Trump to secure his third term."

Local journalist Kyle Clark flagged the development on social media Wednesday, noting, "The 22nd Amendment says 'no personal shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice.' This may be Boebert nodding to Trump's false claim that he was elected to a second term in 2020. Not sure. It's late. Or early. Or both."
