Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) lashed out at reporters on Sunday for covering a recently released sworn complaint that made bombshell accusations against her.

The House Ethics Committee recently received a complaint that accused Boebert of maintaining a sexual relationship with her district director, Clarice Navarro Ratzlaff, and then allegedly paying her $200,000 to keep quiet once Ratzlaff threatened to file an ethics complaint. David Wheeler of American Muckrakers filed the complaint and included evidence from "House payroll records, Federal Election Commission filings, court records, and ... sources," according to Wheeler's Substack. Similar allegations were made about two other aides in the complaint.

Boebert denied the allegations on Saturday, and Ratzlaff described them as "entirely false, defamatory, and beyond ridiculous." Boebert's ex-husband, Jayson Boebert, also disputed the claims, saying they came from "bad sources."

RawStory has not independently verified the claims made in the complaint.

Boebert responded to the complaint in a new video posted Sunday on X. She described the allegations as a "smear" perpetuated by a "left-wing hack."

"No member of Congress certified in writing that his salacious attack was made in good faith to review, as required by [the Ethics committee]," she said. "And it's evident that you did not even bother to look up House Ethics Committee rules that clearly state that the committee can't accept new complaints within 60 days of an election. That's right, Ethics isn't even allowed to accept this garbage."

Boebert also claimed that her staff members had been "under attack" since news about the complaint broke last week.

"This is more filthy garbage that reaches beyond me, into the homes of people who have dedicated years of service to Coloradans alongside of me," she added. "I know that you're more than willing to attack me and shame my household, but this is different and you crossed a line."

A protest erupted in Austin, Texas, on Sunday after federal immigration agents shot and injured one person, according to reports.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents confronted an individual driving a blue Toyota sedan shortly after 1 p.m. in North Austin. Emiliano Tahui Gómez, a freelance writer and former immigration reporter for the Austin American-Statesman, reported that two witnesses said an immigration agent driving a black Escalade confronted Wilber Rafael Garces Perez, a 28-year-old Venezuelan national, after Perez refused to stop. Witnesses added that ICE agents did not render aid to Perez, and it was discovered that he was shot after an Austin police officer arrived on the scene, Gómez reported.

Perez was transported to a local hospital by an ambulance about 10 minutes after police arrived, Gómez added.

Vinny Martorano, a journalist with CBS Austin, asked Austin Police Chief Lisa Davis about information he received that Perez was shot from behind during a press conference. Davis neither confirmed nor denied the allegation.

A crowd began gathering at the site of the shooting shortly after Rep. Greg Casar (D-TX) posted on X about the event.

"As the facts emerge, I am demanding a full, independent investigation, immediate release of the body camera footage, and accountability for any ICE officer who broke the law," Casar posted.

Alejandro Serrano, a politics reporter with the Texas Tribune, posted a video on X of dozens of people gathering to protest the shooting. Cars drove by honking in solidarity as police confronted a local ICE watchdog, Serrano reported.

Protesters shouted "chinga la migra" as some immigration officers left the scene.

The shooting sparked outrage among elected leaders like Austin Mayor Kirk Watson.

"I am very angry and extremely disappointed that a person was shot on the streets of Austin by ICE," Watson posted on X. "While I’m angry and disappointed, I’m not surprised. This has happened in other cities. With the rogue nature of ICE and the chaos we’re seeing fomented by ICE, there’s no reason to be surprised. Austinites have a right to know what happened and they have a right to feel safe in their community."

A GOP lawmaker's interview on Fox News instantly backfired Sunday after he uncorked a wild claim about the difference between Democrats and Republicans.

Rep. Dan Meuser (R-PA) joined Fox News to discuss the upcoming midterm elections and argue that voters should support Republicans. At one point, Meuser attempted to draw a contrast between the two parties that flatlined among political analysts and observers.

"What are Republicans going to do if you keep Congress in control?" the interviewer asked.

"Essentially, all the positives," Meuser said, noting that Republicans would focus on growing investment in the U.S. and increasing energy production. "It's economic strength, national security, and it's common sense. You put the Democrats in charge, boys will be in the girls' locker rooms."

Meuser's claim caused a stir on social media.

"If you put Republicans in charge, you will get wars no one wants, out-of-control price increases, rate increases, and ICE agents murdering Americans in our streets. This is an easy choice," Tim Fullerton, founder of Find Out Media and a former Obama administration staffer, posted on X.

"Doubtful," Leslie Marshall, a Democratic strategist, posted on X.

"If you put Republicans in charge, grown Republican men will be in girl's locker rooms," Thomas Pain, a political commentator who goes by "Tea Pain" online, posted on X.

" Trump is already in girls' dressing rooms. Teen pageant dressing rooms," Cheri Jacobus, a political strategist, posted on X.
