(49,002 posts)This is just speculation on my part, but it would absolutely fit the facts as I feel I know them.
1) Her mother said she gone "detailed tours of the Capitol Buildings" with her daughter. Colorado Sun used the plural. It would have been on the 3rd, the day Boebert was sworn in and the family was photographed.
2) #bullhornlady directs rioters inside the Capitol with a bullhorn and giving detailed knowledge to the rioters of where to go.
3) Early efforts to identify #bullhornlady note similarities with height, hair, chin, facial structure, mouth wrinkles, forehead wrinkles, sunglasses, and sunglasses logo.
4) Boebert, completely sui generis, not responding to any call for a statement from other Congressional people, sticks an alibi for her mother in the letter. She said that her mother was locked down in another building with her staff.
5) It is reported her mother said she was locked down in the Capitol with her daughter, which does not match Boebert.
6) Spokesperson resigns.
I think #bullhornlady is the mother of Boebert and that one of three things happpened:
A) Boebert asked her comms director to lie for her.
B) Boebert assumed her comms director (as staff) would back her alibi.
C) Boebert's backers pulled their backing which may have included a side payment (for "consulting" or some such fiction) for her comms director to work for her. This is because of his very strong resume (Arizona/Colorado, gov't Departiment, Mitch mcCONnell) such that he could get much higher salary other than in her employ.
