It\u2019s not going to come easily,\u201d&nbsp;Boebert told Breitbart News last week at Turning Point USA\u2019s AmericaFest in Phoenix, Arizona. \u201cWe need to continue to message to the American people [about] the agenda of the Democrats.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cEvery bright, shiny thing that you see comes from the Democrats \u2014 an Ilhan Omar, Lauren Boebert spat \u2014 is just a distraction from their policies,\u201d the congresswoman added. \u201cThey have to play the victim in some role, because their policies are destroying our country.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>Boebert continued:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>From the invasion at our southern border, to the supply chain crisis, to the jobs crisis. The unemployment crisis, the unconstitutional medical mandates, our children that are bound in masks in schools, and so much more \u2014 vaccine mandates probably coming to a school near you.<\/p>\n<p>And our frontline workers, who are now put in a position where they have to choose their livelihood \u2014 their career that they have had their entire lives \u2014 or an unconstitutional medical mandate. And so, this is all a distraction from their policies. Their policies are not working.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cBut the question is, Alana, what kind of majority are we going to have? Are we going to have Mitt Romneys? Are we going to have Mitch McConnells? Are we going to have Adam Kinzingers and Liz Cheneys? No,\u201d Boebert added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need to have the&nbsp;Madison Cawthorns. We need the Jim Jordans, we need the Andy Biggs,\u201d the congresswoman affirmed. \u201cWe need more people who will stand firm in what they believe in, and who are principled.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo one\u2019s looking for a perfect politician, that doesn\u2019t exist,\u201d&nbsp;Boebert said. \u201cWe\u2019re not looking for perfect, we\u2019re looking for principled. We\u2019re looking for someone who will put themselves second, and the people they were elected to serve, first.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Watch the full interview below:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"video-src-attr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/author\/matt-perdie\/\">Matt Perdie<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>You can follow Alana&nbsp;Mastrangelo on&nbsp;<a class=\"x5l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ARmastrangelo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">Facebook<\/a>&nbsp;and Twitter at&nbsp;<a class=\"x5l\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ARmastrangelo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">@ARmastrangelo<\/a>, and on&nbsp;<a class=\"x5l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/alanamastrangelo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">Instagram<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rep.\u00a0Lauren Boebert (R-CO) told Breitbart News in an exclusive interview that Democrats \u201cplay the victim\u201d to distract from their policies on medical mandates and the U.S. southern border, among other &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":35,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1176274","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1176274","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/35"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1176274"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1176274\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1176274"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1176274"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1176274"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
