Lauren Boebert Rages at 'Selfish' Ken Buck For 'Rigging' Her Reelection Bid In His District

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) fumed on Wednesday that Rep. Ken Buck’s (R-CO) resignation next week will muddy her chances to stay in Congress, which she slammed as “selfish” on his part. Buck, a hardline conservative who has become a thorn in the side of MAGA House Republicans, surprised the political establishment Tuesday by announcing he will retire at the end of next week. Buck had previously announced last November he would not seek reelection, a move that prompted Boebert to switch from CO-3 to Buck’s CO-4 district.

Boebert has been plagued by scandal after scandal and nearly lost her reelection bid last year to the same Democrat challenging her again this year. Her move to CO-4, if she can win the June primary, would set her up in a much safer seat and give her a “fresh start.” “The “uni-party” is trying to do everything that they can to stop my candidacy to rig the election in Colorado,” Boebert raged online, adding:

And, you know, this is breaking news as of yesterday. Ken Buck’s announcement yesterday was a gift to the “uni-party.” The establishment concocted a swampy backroom deal to try to rig an election. An election that I’m winning by 25 points, forcing an unnecessary special election, when? The same day as the primary election in Colorado.

And this will confuse voters, and it will result in a lame-duck congressman on day one and leave the fourth district with no representation for more than three months. This is absolutely unacceptable. I believe that this is selfish.


Others were quick to note that the special election set by Buck’s retirement could squeeze Boebert out of Congress. Far-right podcaster Steve Bannon said, “It’s kind of to screw Lauren Boebert.” House insider Aaron Fritschner dropped a lengthy thread on the topic, noting, “Ken Buck represents CO-4; Lauren Boebert, who represents CO-3, is running to replace him. If Boebert wins a special election to replace Buck she’ll have to resign CO-3, creating a new vacancy. But if she doesn’t run in the special she risks losing her chance to remain in Congress.”

Comment: I'm really hoping that Joe doesn't develop dementia. That would be horrible

Meanwhile that ship has already set sail for Donald. Beats me why Newsom didn't challenge him
