Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) has come a long way since she told then-2020 presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke “Hell, no, you’re not” taking her guns in response to O’Rourke’s viral “hell yes” comment about proposed firearm confiscation plans.
Now, we find out that Boebert was a stripper and a paid escort, had a “meth drug problem,” nearly “killed her sister-in-law during a drunk driving” accident, and somehow had an abortion five or so months before giving birth to her son. Oh, wait, no. Those were all lies, and the guy who peddled them — American Muckrakers PAC co-founder David Wheeler — admitted to CNN that his “bombshell” exposé on Rep. Boebert was chock full of “inaccuracies.”
Wheeler also offered to apologize to Boebert, but on “The Glenn Beck Program” Thursday, the Republican congresswoman told Glenn that it looks like that was a lie too.
“I don’t really mind that they hate me,” Boebert said of her left-wing defamers. “It actually lets me know that I’m on the right track, because they cannot stand the truth … [and] they hate anything that is good about America. So, whenever they come after me, I’m like, ‘alright, we’re doing good.'”
Asked by Glenn about Wheeler’s absolutely outrageous lies, many of which went viral on Twitter last month, Boebert said, “They cannot attack me personally enough … they’ve always stretched it too far and now they just completely make it up. They completely fabricate it. There were lies saying [she had] two terminated pregnancies, I was an escort, a stripper, an addict, all sorts of things. And, you know, people get tired of it … it really discredits anything they’re trying to do because it’s so out of touch. But that’s all right. We’ll have my lawyers handle that one.”
After CNN called the Democratic super PAC co-founder out on his “inaccuracies,” Wheeler “conceded:
[T]he super PAC was wrong when it insisted a photo of another woman posing on a bed is a photo of Boebert, was wrong when it claimed Boebert initially failed to disclose a campaign contribution from Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, was wrong to suggest Cruz had made big contributions to Boebert’s campaign immediately after she started running in her first primary, was wrong about the date of a Boebert vehicle accident, and was wrong when it published a claim that Boebert had an abortion “in the fall of 2004′”- at most six months before she gave birth to a son in March 2005.
Wheeler also told CNN that he would be willing to apologize, but according to Boebert, “he doubles down on a daily basis.”
“[Wheeler] stands by his claims [and] stands by his anonymous sources,” she said. “This is not something that he’s backing down from, and frankly, neither am I.”
