Lauren Opal Boebert, born December 15, 1986 (age 37), the mother of four and owner of the Shooters Grill in Rifle, Colorado, won the hard-fought 3rd district congressional race against Democrat and former state lawmaker Diane Mitsch Bush in a Colorado House district that is as large as Pennsylvania in the 2020 election.

FBI harassment
- See also: Biden/Harris attack on civil liberties and Police state
Sherronna Bishop[5] was a campaign manager for Lauren Boebert. In November 2021 the FBI broke down her door with a battering ram and terrorized her children. The FBI grabbed her phone from her and refused to allow her to speak to her attorney. She was restrained. The FBI ransacked the home and refused to let her see the alleged warrant they had for hours.[6]
Biden's SOTU
Boebert heckled Biden's 2022 SOTU address when he mentioned Afghanistan, blaming him for the deaths of 13 US soldiers. She later elaborated:[7]
13 brave and heroic members of our military died during Biden's botched Afghanistan withdrawal. They deserved to be recognized during the State of the Union speech so I made sure to speak up.
See: Biden's Afghanistan withdrawal
Criticisms
On September 10, 2023, Boebert and a male companion were evicted by security during a performance of the musical Beetlejuice in a theater in Denver, Colorado after she caused a disturbance by vaping, singing, and recording the performance. Boebert initially wrote on social media that she pleaded "guilty to laughing and singing too loud!". After surveillance video footage of the incident was released, she apologized for "falling short of her values" and vaping. The video, released by the theater to The Denver Post, also showed Boebert and her companion appearing to fondle each other in their seats. Since then, she and particularly her family have been personally targeted and attacked by the Left and fake conservatives on social media, particularly Instagram, with also disgustingly ageist remarks, like attacking her son for becoming father at 17 and Boebert for becoming grandmother at 36, or attacking her husband for apparently "grooming" her when they first dated (she was 17 but it was legal age at the time and in the state, so "grooming" is inappropriate and out of place, and the age difference wasn't even so high).
