Lauren Boebert\u2019s House seat, was successfully blackmailed for his vote on a local issue to keep an affair secret, according to a new report.<\/p>\n<p>In an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2022\/10\/13\/exclusive-business-owner-admits-to-blackmailing-aspen-democrat-congressional-candidate-adam-frisch-with-surveillance-footage-and-alleged-storage-unit-affair\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">exclusive <\/a>interview with Breitbart News, Aspen businessman Todd Gardner, who ran a taxi service and a storage facility, told the publication he caught Frisch having sex in a storage unit five years ago. One year later, the City of Aspen was considering a partnership with the ride-share company Lyft for a project that threatened to put Gardner\u2019s taxis out of business. Gardner reportedly threatened to reveal Frisch\u2019s affair if the councilman, who initially supported what was called \u201cmobility lab,\u201d did not reverse course to oppose the experimental transportation project.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was absolutely blackmail,\u201d Gardner admitted to Breitbart News. <\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m a straight shooter. Was it the right thing to do? No, it probably wasn\u2019t the right thing to do. Was it a necessary thing to do based on the situation and me fighting for our survival and the fact that the city was trying to totally go above and beyond any purview they had to put me out of business basically? It was my fight for survival. I made a choice, just like Adam made a choice to sleep with the woman in the storage unit. I made a choice to use the information I had for my benefit.<\/p>\n<p>Frisch\u2019s campaign did not respond to The Federalist\u2019s request for comment.<\/p>\n<p>In 2018, Aspen was planning to test the new transportation program offering residents and visitors assistance to access electric bikes, scooters, and shuttles. The city\u2019s mayor at the time, Steven Skadron, <a href=\"https:\/\/aspenchamber.org\/article\/city-aspen-announces-partnership-lyft-deliver-shift-project-next-summer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">published <\/a>a quote with the Aspen Chamber Resort Association that made the service sound as if all the arrangements had been made. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cTransforming the transit experience is one of the City Council\u2019s top nine goals and we\u2019ve been working toward the SHIFT project for two years,\u201d Skadron said. \u201cThis partnership with Lyft, the country\u2019s leading-edge mobility company, will help provide opportunities for Aspen residents, commuters, and visitors that would not have been possible otherwise.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gardner then reportedly sent an email to Frisch with footage revealing evidence of the affair. \u201cHe went to survival mode,\u201d Gardner told Breitbart News. \u201cPolitically, he\u2019s pretty savvy. He came out and worked hard lobbying against it. He was very vocal out there lobbying against it and showing up to meetings.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gardner says he is no fan of the incumbent congresswoman. \u201cI don\u2019t like her. I don\u2019t think she has a clue,\u201d Gardner told Breitbart News, but added, \u201cwhen you send somebody to the United States Congress, it\u2019s their integrity that matters. Adam has no integrity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ben Stout, a spokesman for Boebert\u2019s re-election campaign for a second term called the alleged episode disqualifying. \u201cAdam Frisch changing his vote as an Aspen city councilman so he could hide an extramarital affair makes it clear Adam Frisch has no business being in public office,\u201d Stout<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former Aspen Democrat City Councilman Adam Frisch, who is now running for Colorado GOP Rep.
