CO-03: Campaign Emails Landing in Spam Folders Due to 'Nefarious' Conspiracy, Says Boebert Spokes

Congressional candidate Lauren Boebert’s spokeswoman thinks “something nefarious” is causing Boebert campaign emails to be directed to the spam folders of people who have Gmail accounts.

Laura Carno, Boebert’s communications director, told a conservative radio show Tuesday that she’s heard from “dozens and dozens and dozens of people saying, ‘Hey, just so you know, I think my spam filter is moving all of Lauren’s messages to spam.'”

Carno, who uses Gmail “for the time being,” thinks this isn’t a function of normal spam email filtering but a targeted attack on conservatives, like Boebert.

“As I’ve looked at my own spam box and my email service, it’s the same thing,” Carno told KCOL’s Jimmy Lakey. “It’s all of the conservative stuff.”

Carno acknowledged on air that she doesn’t subscribe to many liberal email lists so she has a “slanted inbox to start with.”

Still, she’s convinced there’s a stealth tech attack targeting conservatives like her.

“Even when I go through and say this is not spam on GOP emails or campaign emails that I want to see, the next one that comes out goes straight to my spam,” she explained to Lakey, who told her his emails from the Colorado Republican Party also go to spam.

“So I think there’s something nefarious afoot,” Carno concludes.
