Lauren Boebert is blaming Barbra Streisand and Ryan Reynolds for forcing her to abandon her Colorado congressional seat and stand in a safe GOP district.
It's a continuation of her claim that well-funded liberals from outside the region have targeted her.
Speaking to Steve Bannon on his "War Room" podcast this past weekend, Boebert (R-CO) said that "Hollywood elites" have been "trying to buy" her current district.
"There has been close to $10 million poured into this district to buy this seat. Colorado's 3rd District is not for sale," she said.
"When you have Barbra Streisand coming in and donating to the Democrat, when you have Ryan Reynolds coming in and donating to the Democrat, it shows you that Hollywood is trying to buy their way into Congress," Boebert told Bannon.

As Business Insider points out, Boebert has attacked Streisand and Reynolds for backing her opponents before. In November, she said her opponent "has plenty of funding from Soros dark money and even Hollywood liberals like Barbra Streisand and Ryan Reynolds."
This Wednesday, Boebert announced that she would abandon her current district — which she barely won in the last election and where she faces an extremely tough re-election campaign — for the recently vacated 4th Congressional District, which is a more conservative part of the state.
