Rep. Lauren Boebert's critics on both the left and the right were disappointed when the far-right MAGA congresswoman narrowly defeated Democrat Adam Frisch in Colorado's 3rd Congressional District. It was an incredibly close race; as of Friday morning, Nov. 18, Boebert was ahead by only 551 votes in a very GOP-leaning district.
During the campaign, Frisch and his supporters — including some Never Trump conservatives — vehemently called out Boebert as an extremist. The congresswoman has drawn plenty of criticism for her inflammatory anti-Islam and anti-gay comments, and in a scathing editorial published on Nov. 22, the Denver Post's editorial board argues that her anti-gay rhetoric has contributed to the type of hate that led to the attack on Club Q, a gay nightclub in Colorado Springs.
