'Typical Republican hypocrisy': Lauren Boebert ripped for celrebrating bill she voted against

19 March 2024

In early March, Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colorado) was among the 40 House Republicans who voted against a government funding bill. The far-right MAGA congresswoman even bragged about her opposition, attacking the bill as the "swamp omnibus" and "monstrosity."

But later in the month, on Monday, March 18, Boebert did a very different type of bragging when, according to Business Insider, she "celebrated the impending arrival of" funding from a bill she voted against.

In a March 18 press release, Boebert said, "Can't wait for the ribbon cuttings and to see these priorities come to fruition."

The bill that Boebert opposed, according to Business Insider, contains "more than $20 million for the Colorado district she's now abandoning."

That district is Colorado's 3rd Congressional District, which she still represents. But Boebert is seeking a third term via Colorado's 4th Congressional District, where she is running for the seat that conservative GOP Rep. Ken Buck is leaving.

Business Insider's Bryan Metzger notes that in the 3rd Congressional District, funding from the bill "includes $5 million for a water reservoir near Wolf Creek, millions for highway repairs and renovations in western Colorado, and several other projects."

Activist John Shea is among the Democrats who is calling out Boebert's hypocrisy.

In a March 19 post on X, formerly Twitter, Shea noted, "The Republicans voted against every Bill that Biden has put forward!"

Houston-based Tom Barnett tweeted Business Insider's article and said of Boebert, "Hypocrite."

X user Filberto Cavasos wrote, "Lady needs mental help. Taking credit for bills she voted against?"

Activist Sandra Repar tweeted, "@RepBoebert takes credit for something she voted against, in the district she's leaving. Typical #RepublicanHypocrisy."
