Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) has made headlines recently, particularly regarding her stance on certain issues.
In a recent encounter, she responded sharply to a Fox News Digital reporter, saying, “Fuck you, first of all.”
During the exchange, the reporter brought up Boebert’s rumored affair with Representative Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), who has often been a vocal critic of former President Donald Trump.
Massie recently lost in the Kentucky primary, leading some to label him “the worst Republican in history.”
Boebert remarked, “If you’re going to get me into this, it’s like the sexist stuff is out of control. We have the clickbait you were looking for,” which gained traction online.
Things escalated after Boebert discussed Trump’s attempts to challenge Republican incumbents and Massie’s political future, according to reports.
Boebert noted, “I think most of the people who lost in the primaries, like Cassidy and Cornyn, the Republican agenda backfired.”
She added that she felt a hint of sympathy for Massie, saying, “So obviously, Thomas Massey is the only one that I feel a little bit sorry for.”
However, the conversation took a contentious turn when the reporter pressed her on personal allegations.
Reports indicate that a former congressional staffer accused Massie of boasting about a supposed encounter with Boebert shortly after his wife’s death. This individual also alleged that Massie attempted to pay him $5,000 to drop a separate wrongful termination lawsuit against a colleague.
These claims came just a week before Massie lost his congressional seat in the primary.
Boebert, however, sought to deflect the topic, stating, “I don’t want to talk about someone’s exes and their crazy things,” as she walked away from the exchange.
