Controversial Colorado Republican Congresswoman Lauren Boebert’s scandal has begun to catch up with her in the worst sort of way, not only with the voters she’s depending on to secure herself another term in the US House of Representatives but with the volunteers who have donated their time, energy, effort, and hard work to help her reach those voters she desperately needs.
Boebert’s public image has frankly taken multiple, fatal hits over the last year or so — ranging from her highly-publicized and high-conflict divorce to physical fights in a restaurant with that same ex-husband just a handful of weeks after she was caught on camera kissing him a parking lot following their divorce proceedings, to her infamous groping incident in a crowded theater during a family-friendly play to, most recently, her teenage son’s felony arrest charges connected to a string of trespassing and thefts in their area.
Suffice it to say, she’s certainly not serving as anyone’s role model these days. In fact, the scandal surrounding the congresswoman has grown so extreme that she recently made the decision to switch from Colorado’s 3rd district, where she currently represents, to their 4th, more Conservative district for the impending 2024 election, in an effort to save what little is left of her political career from swirling down the toilet.
But as it turns out, it’s not even all of this scandal that’s causing Lauren trouble when it comes to gaining popularity or hanging onto her much-needed volunteers in her new district.

According to a Boebert volunteer who recently spoke with The Washington Post, Lauren’s troubles were brewing long before she got much too handsy during a Beetlejuice play.
“She has a bad reputation with her volunteers at this point,” Savannah Wolfson told the Post. “She just kind of uses you and then leaves.”
Wolfson told the publication that she and her friends began to notice problems with Boebert last year when the congresswoman began sharing “weird” photos to her Facebook account. According to Wolfson, it looked like Lauren, who was mid-divorce at the time, was “constantly at frat parties.”
At one point, Boebert’s behavior and public posts were growing so extreme that one of Wolfson’s friends texted the congresswoman to warn her to be careful about her choices and, even more so, what she was posting to the public.
Boebert “just responded with a kissy face emoji.”
Wolfson said it felt much more like a kiss-off.
The people who were donating their time and energy to help Lauren get reelected felt as if the congresswoman was just saying, “Bye, bitch,” according to Wolfson.
Judy Scofield, a retired university employee, said, “I don’t appreciate, as a Christian, people saying they’re Christian to get your vote and then turning out to be a lowlife, and now I just kind of think of her as a lowlife.”
It seems safe to say at this point that Lauren Boebert is certainly digging her own hole past the point of return.
