Controversy Surrounds Rep. Lauren Boebert as She Receives A Temporary Restraining Order
U.S. Representative Lauren Boebert finds herself in the midst of yet another controversy.
According to a Tweet from Colorado Sun reporter Jesse Paul, Boebert has obtained a temporary restraining order against her former husband, Jayson Boebert, and extended it to cover three of their four sons.
In her request for the restraining order, Rep. Boebert filled out a checklist that outlined various alleged incidents dating from 2022 to the present. These incidents ranged from name-calling and harassing phone calls to the troubling accusation of "abusing children in the household."
According to the Colorado Sun, the most recent incident mentioned was on Friday, where the congresswoman claimed a "threat by damage to property" occurred. However, independent verification of this claim has not been possible at this time, as the location of the alleged incident was not provided on the form.
This latest development adds to a series of dramas that have surrounded the “seat shopping” Boebert throughout her tenure in Congress.
From her groping night out at the musical “Beetlejuice” to her highly publicized confrontations with colleagues, Boebert has consistently found herself in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons. While some admire her for her outspoken nature, others argue that her actions and rhetoric distract from the important work that should be taking place on behalf of the people she represents.
