WASHINGTON — Firebrand Rep. Lauren Boebert is lashing out at the people who repeated the details from an ethics “complaint” against her alleging she had sex with three staffers, including two women.
The Colorado Republican, 38, emphatically denied the accusations, underscoring how they came from a political operative, David Wheeler, who has a history of peddling dubious accusations against her.
Boebert (R-Col.) also got a temporary civil protection against Wheeler, who leads a group called American Muckrakers, in 2022.
“Hey journalists,” Boebert raged in a video message posted on X. “You all ran a smear and called it news. Some sloppy, desperate, obsessive hack stamps under oath on a fake filing so you’ll write penalty of perjury in the headline.”
“It’s a scam and you fell for it. No member of Congress certified in writing that his salacious BS attack was made in good faith and warrants review as required by Ethics.”
The complaint claims she had relationships with her former district director Clarice Navarro Ratzlaff, former chief of staff Jeffrey Small and current chief of staff Raven Finegan.
They have all denied the claims.
