A recent incident involving Colorado Congresswoman Lauren Boebert has thrust her into the spotlight once again. Boebert is currently under investigation following an alleged altercation with her ex-husband, Jason Boebert, at a local restaurant in her district. The Republican Congresswoman vehemently denies any wrongdoing, stating, 'I didn't punch Jason in the face, and no one was arrested.' As investigations unfold, it marks another controversy for Boebert, joining a string of recent incidents involving members of Congress.
The reported incident took place at the Miner's Claim restaurant on Saturday night. In a statement, Boebert asserted her innocence and expressed her intention to consult with her lawyer regarding the false claims made against her by her ex-husband. Jason Boebert, however, has stated that he does not wish to press charges, highlighting that the situation arose during a difficult conversation and that they are working towards resolving their differences.
Congresswoman Boebert has faced her fair share of controversies in recent months. Just last month, she announced her candidacy for the 2024 Republican nomination to represent Colorado's 4th congressional district. This decision came as she opted to switch districts rather than face a challenging reelection bid in Colorado's 3rd district. Boebert emphasized that this announcement marks a fresh start and follows a challenging period for her and her family.
Married for almost two decades and the mother of four boys, Boebert filed for divorce last year, citing irreconcilable differences. In her book, 'My American Life,' she reflects on meeting Jason when she was just 16 years old and falling deeply in love with him.
Additionally, Boebert made headlines in September 2020 when she was asked to leave a Denver musical production of 'Beetlejuice.' Surveillance footage reveals Boebert vaping inside the theater, taking flash photos with her phone, and engaging in disruptive behavior. Ultimately, she was escorted out of the show, even capturing the moment on camera as she flipped off security.
Authorities in Silt County, where the alleged restaurant altercation occurred, have confirmed an ongoing investigation but declined to provide details about the caller or the availability of surveillance footage from the establishment.
As this latest controversy unfolds, Congresswoman Lauren Boebert finds herself in the midst of a storm. The investigation into the alleged altercation with her ex-husband adds to a series of controversies that have surrounded the vocal Republican. Her decision to switch districts and her openness about personal struggles have only further fueled the spotlight on her. As time progresses, the investigation will provide more clarity on the facts surrounding this incident.
