Lauren Boebert Buried In Scorn For Trying To ‘Scam Supporters’ As She Faces Unexpectedly Close Race

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) had been projected to easily beat Democratic candidate Adam Frisch and cruise to reelection in Colorado’s deep red 3rd District, which hasn’t elected a Democrat to Congress since 2008. But as of Friday, the race is still too close to call and it appears to be heading for an automatic recount.

Now, in a Trumpian fashion, Boebert is asking supporters for donations to help with the recount, which will cost nothing to her.

“I told you all year, the Left would do everything that they possibly could to get rid of me,” Boebert wrote in a tweet.

“As this race comes down to every last vote, I need you to help us ensure we have the resources to finish what we started!”

Naturally, Twitter users quickly called her out for trying a final money-grabbing “scam” on her supporters.

Check Boebert’s tweet and some of the responses below:

Translation:

I could be gone soon, I better grab as much as I can before I’m gone. Thank goodness I don’t have to show my taxes. If I did the public would realize that I’m only in this for the money. I still can’t believe how rich my gullible supporters made me.

The counting costs nothing for you, are you just trying to scam more money from your constituents to use for personal goods and needs?

You’re right, the left pushed back against a domestic terrorists who supports sexual predators.

You might win by the skin of your teeth, but that doesn’t change that you’re an enemy of the state.

The grift begins.

Donations do NOT pay for a recount. It's just a grift. Trump taught her well that MAGA will fall for anything.

Raise your hand if you think that Lauren Boebert should be removed from office immediately. 🤚🤚

Are you actually going to do something this year if you win?

Hey Lauren, before I donate (🤭), could you please let us all know why you asked trump for a pardon before he left office?

She’s grifting on the idea of needing money for a recount when:

A.) the recount is going to be automatic and paid for by the state

B.) she’s currently up by 1100 votes with not many votes remaining (so she’s just stealing money from you under false pretense)

I don't know why you're blaming the Democrats when that's a predominantly Red District.. appears they're the ones that "Don't want YOU"

If you'd been a halfway decent representative this race would not have been close. If you had held town halls, voted in your constituents' interests, not spewed hate, bigotry, racism, been honest you would have won by 10 points. But you embarrassed CD3 and the entire state.

Huh? The voting's over. Trying to scam a few bucks before you go back to being an escort?
