Lauren Boebert spokesman quits after less than two weeks

U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert‘s spokesman has resigned less than two weeks after she was sworn into office, citing a Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol for his decision.

Ben Goldey confirmed Saturday that he has resigned, as first reported by Axios. Goldey told Axios, “Following the events of January 6th, I’ve decided to part ways with the office. I wish her and the people of Colorado’s Third District the best.”

It’s not clear when Goldey resigned. Jeff Small, Boebert’s chief of staff, declined to comment, calling Goldey’s employment situation an “internal personnel matter.”

Boebert’s first 13 days have been controversial. She promoted Jan. 6 as a momentous day in American history and, as rioters approached the Capitol, said she was their voice. In the aftermath of that deadly riot, her words, actions and motives have been called into question and heavily scrutinized on Capitol Hill.
