Boebert ensnared her staff in her alibi for her mother in her letter. I suspect that's why he resign

It is possible she didn't ask them first. Or maybe took it too far for him.
I suspect she asked him to lie for her in some way and that was the last straw.
The whole alibi might be a lie. I read that Boebert's mother is saying locked down inside the Capitol and Boebert is saying locked down in another office building nearby.
Another question is why was he there in the first place. I read that he had a top-notch resume: Comms director for Mitch mcCONnell and then comms director for a government agency or department (Interior?). So he could have gotten a lot bigger salary and top jobs.
Who was giving him some "consulting fees" or some other third party payment or inducement to take on the difficult but not top-paying job of handling a nutty firecracker?

The crap her office must be fielding right now...

(49,007 posts)7. He's one of the best so the crap is not the problem. Something else.
He's a professional. He's experienced at handling crap.
So I think it is something else that troubled him deeply. I suspect that #bullhornlady is Boebert's mother and there is some hidden issue about her dropping her staff into an alibi for her mother. The hidden issue might be being asked to lie for Boebert on the whereabouts of her mother. There are also the reports of conflicting buildings Boebert and her mother have stated for where her mother was locked down.
