Lauren Boebert brushes off Trump’s attacks calling her ‘dumb’
rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) dismissed President Donald Trump’s criticism as typical “D.C. nature,” saying that nothing happens in Washington without “force.” Her comments came after Trump grew frustrated with her following her support for Rep. Thomas massie (R-KY), which Trump said he’d like to see lead to a potential primary challenger against Boebert. Boebert said she will continue to back Trump and the commitments they made on the campaign trail, even tho Trump called her “dumb.” The article adds that any backlash from Trump is likely too late to affect the current Colorado primary filing deadline, and notes Boebert is running for reelection unopposed, though a costly write-in effort woudl still be possible. It also recounts Trump’s earlier backing of primary challengers to Sens. Bill Cassidy and John Cornyn, and that those bids failed.
