'Humiliated and embarrassed' voters in Lauren Boebert's district are fed up with her act after six months: report

According to a report from Politico, the antics of Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) since she has been in Congress are turning off voters in one of the most important cities in her district and creating a groundswell to defeat her in the 2022 midterm election.

Politico's Jennifer Oldham reports that the city of Pueblo, Colorado could hold the key to whether Boebert is returned to Congress and, according to her report, "Among voters in Pueblo—the largest and most politically unpredictable city in Boebert's vast district—there is a growing sense of exasperation with the freshman representative not yet six months into her tenure."

Lauren Boebert was ordered to garnish employee's wages — but county has no record of her paying: report

On Wednesday, the Colorado Times Recorder revealed that a Colorado county has no record of Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) paying off a debt after being ordered by a court to garnish an employee's wages to settle it.

"Just before she was elected to Congress last year, U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) finished paying off the state of Colorado nearly $20,000 in back taxes owed by her restaurant, Shooters Grill, located in Rifle," reported Jason Salzman. "The debt took the form of eight tax liens assessed since 2016 for failing to pay unemployment insurance. But a ninth lien, assessed by the Garfield County Court after Boebert refused to garnish an employee's wages, remains unpaid, according to the Garfield County Court, in a response last week to a records request by the Colorado Times Recorder. The outstanding lien of $2,578 was assessed against Shooters Grill after Boebert and an employee, who'd been sued by a debt collector, failed to respond to the court and the lawyers involved."

Trumpism has destroyed the GOP's next generation of leaders: report

In a column for the New York Times, political analyst Charlotte Alter claimed that the Republican Party's stable of rising political stars -- and hence the future of the party -- has been all but decimated during Donald Trump's four years in office as the party grows older and refuses to change with the times.

According to Alter, the GOP's future once looked brighter as younger lawmakers including Reps. Mia Love (R-UT), Carlos Curbelo (R-FL) and Elise Stefanik (R-NY) made their marks and gave the party of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) fresh new faces that could appeal to younger voters.

Lauren Boebert (R-CO) and Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) also jumping on the bandwagon.
