Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Lauren Boebert has been referred to as ‘stupid hoe’ after tweeting two words on social media. (Read More Here).
She wrote: “Two words: let’s go Brandon!”
Colorado’s third congressional district is decidedly Republican. In the 2016 presidential election, former President Donald Trump defeated Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in the district by 12 points. In 2020, Trump defeated President Joe Biden in the district by 5 points. That same year, Boebert — a Christian nationalist known for her racist and homophobic fearmongering — won her first congressional race by 6.2 points.
New polling commissioned by Frisch’s campaign, however, suggests that Boebert’s chance at getting reelected may be in jeopardy.
According to the poll, conducted by Keating Research from September 28 to October 2, Boebert has the support of 47 percent of voters in her district, while Frisch has the support of 45 percent of voters. Seven percent of voters are undecided, according to the survey.
The poll’s margin of error is 4.4 points, meaning that the candidates are in a statistical tie.
During Boebert’s short time in office, she has used Islamophobic language to attack Democratic Party members of “the Squad.” She has also fundraised for her congressional campaign by pushing the false claim that her opponents sought to take away people’s guns on the same day a mass shooting took place in her home state. On January 6, 2021, she voted against the certification of the Electoral College in an attempt to keep Biden out of the White House, and she has consistently downplayed the severity of the attack on the U.S. Capitol building since.
More recently, Boebert has celebrated fascist political victories in countries like Sweden and Italy, and has suggested that she shares the same beliefs as those extremist parties.
Boebert is one of “the leaders of the anger-tainment industry,” Frisch said this week. “And I think people are sick and tired of that, they want to focus on women’s reproductive rights, getting inflation under control, and making sure there is good funding for schools, especially in the rural parts of our district.”
A previous survey from the pollster in July found Boebert leading Frisch by 7 points, suggesting the Democrat and former city council member in recent weeks has built momentum to make the race more competitive.
Still, the nonpartisan election handicapper Cook Political Report doesn’t rate the race as being competitive, and limited polling data is available beyond Keating Research.
“We are going to beat Lauren Boebert,” Frisch said in a statement touting the new poll.
“I’ve believed this since I entered the race, but this poll showing that we are tied makes it even more clear that voters in CO-3 want Boebert’s circus to stop and are looking for a better choice to represent their families, their businesses and their communities,” he added.
The Hill has reached out to Boebert’s campaign for comment.
Boebert, who is running for a second term, has gained a reputation during her first months in office as a hard-right conservative and ally of former President Trump.
