There is yet hope Lauren Boebert may lose the election to Democrat challenger Adam Frisch, who has been closing the gap. A new poll on the candidates running for the 3rd Congressional District shows the race to be a virtual dead heat. __________________________ Lauren Boebert in statistical dead heat with challenger Adam Frisch, Dem's internal polling shows "The Democrat running to unseat U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert has pulled within 2 percentage points of the Republican incumbent in Colorado's 3rd Congressional District, putting the candidates in a statistical tie only weeks before voting begins in the state, according to an internal poll released Tuesday by Boebert's challenger. "The poll of likely voters, conducted for former Aspen City Councilman Adam Frisch's campaign by Keating Research, a Colorado-based firm that works for Democrats, found Boebert leading Frisch, 47% to 45%, within the poll's 4.4 percentage point margin of error. Another 7% were undecided. "The results mark a 5-point shift in Frisch's direction since a July survey conducted by the same polling firm that found Boebert ahead, 49% to 42%, with 9% undecided. "Pollsters said the biggest movement since the July poll has been among the Republican-leaning district's unaffiliated voters, who supported Frisch by an 8-point margin two months ago but prefer the Democrat by a 25-point margin in the most recent survey. Unaffiliated voters, who make up 44% of the district's active registered voters and 37% of the poll's sample, support Frisch, 57% to 32%, the new poll found." Poll shows Frisch closing in on Boebert
I figured the 7% were former clients of hers when she was a call girl. "The group that released info that alleged Lauren Boebert was a paid escort who had two abortions, American Muckrakers PAC, will launch a billboard in her district that reads, “Lauren Boebert hasn’t sued us for defamation, ask her why.”
OP I know she is in your district and you can't wait to see her have to pack her bags. Is her restaurant still open?
No, Shooters Grill closed in July when the new owners of the building housing the restaurant refused to renew her lease. https://www.washingtonpost.com/food/2022/07/14/lauren-boebert-shooters-grill-closed/ The closing was on the same day Boebert went on Fox News and said, “When 9/11 happened, we didn’t ban planes, we secured the cockpit.” The new owner, a company named Milkin Enterprises, shares an address with another local business, the Green Cross Recreational Dispensary, which sells a wide line of flowers, edibles, cartridges and other THC and CBD products. The owners of Milkin Enterprises, Mike Miller and Dan Meskin, have not provided many clues as to why they gave Boebert and Shooters Grill the boot. They have declined interviews. The Washington Post called the Rifle dispensary (and its sister location in Silt, Colo.), looking for the owners. The Post also emailed an account for Meskin found in public records. Neither Miller nor Meskin responded. But when the news of Shooters Grill’s potential closing emerged, the Daily Beast reported that a “person familiar with the arrangement said the property manager felt he had a ‘moral’ imperative to close the business.” The same story also said Boebert had dismissed the idea that the new owners, one of whom is the son of the previous landlord, were politically motivated to shut down her business. Boebert’s office did not respond to a message requesting comment on the closing.
There is more to this story. American Muckrakers is now suing her for defamation. David wheeler, founder of Muckrakers was quoted saying he looks "forward to seeing Boebert in a North Carolina court room and a conference room for a deposition.” Rep. Lauren Boebert sued for libel by American Muckrakers PAC - Colorado Newsline "In June, American Muckrakers claimed that Boebert, one of the most conservative members of Congress, of having two abortions and previously being an escort. Wheeler got that information from a variety of sources through recorded and unrecorded phone calls, in person meetings, text messages, emails and Twitter messages, according to the lawsuit, and had “no reason to believe the Sources’ information was false.” "Shortly after, Boebert responded to the allegation and told Sean Hannity on his Fox News show that there was no evidence for the claims and that Wheeler knew the claim was false when he published it. She called Wheeler a “hack” and said she would pursue legal action against him, which she never did. She made similar comments to a reporter with the conservative newspaper the Washington Examiner, to conservative commentator Tomi Lahren and in an official statement. "The lawsuit claims that Boebert made those incorrect statements with the intent to damage the reputation of American Muckrakers. "After Boebert’s comments, the committee’s revenue took a free fall, the lawsuit says, dropping from an average of about $20,000 per month to less than $1,300 per month."
For clarity the additional needs to be posted. This past June CNN published this online: Fact check: Democratic group makes multiple false claims in its dramatic allegations about Lauren Boebert's past | CNN Politics "A Democratic super PAC has made multiple false claims about Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert while pushing unproven allegations that the right-wing Colorado congresswoman has had abortions and formerly worked as an escort, all of which Boebert vehemently denies. "American Muckrakers PAC co-founder David Wheeler acknowledged to CNN that the super PAC had been “sloppy” and had published “inaccuracies” on its anti-Boebert website, though he said it remains confident in the “main points of the story.” His comments came after CNN reporting found that the super PAC had made at least five false statements about Boebert, along with a series of uncorroborated assertions that Boebert says are false and that CNN could neither immediately confirm nor immediately debunk. "In emails this week and in a Thursday interview, Wheeler conceded that the super PAC was wrong when it insisted a photo of another woman posing on a bed is a photo of Boebert, was wrong when it claimed Boebert initially failed to disclose a campaign contribution from Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, was wrong to suggest Cruz had made big contributions to Boebert’s campaign immediately after she started running in her first primary, was wrong about the date of a Boebert vehicle accident, and was wrong when it published a claim that Boebert had an abortion “in the fall of 2004” – at most six months before she gave birth to a son in March 2005. "Wheeler, a former North Carolina state Senate candidate, said in the interview that the super PAC realizes “we need to be better” in vetting details prior to publishing them, since some sources may have “foggy” memories, and that it would be willing to apologize to Boebert for the “inaccuracies” it has published to date. He said, though, that the super PAC stands by “the major thrust of the information” that went viral on Twitter last week."
Not sure you can admit to making 5 inaccurate statements AND say you stand by "the major thrust of the information". And the public/voters only hear a confession of dishonest statements and the rest is lost in the wash. Muckrakers was able to dig up a lot of unsavory and actual video of my congressman (Madison Cawthorne) for which I am grateful. Sad to say that after all the clownish behavior, claims of Republican orgies, and 2 arrests for trying to board a plane with a gun, it took video of a naked Cawthorne humping his cousin before he began to lose support resulting in his primary loss.
