The Uncomfortable Moment When Boebert Attempted To Pick A Fight With The Moderator

[Quixote1818]

Saturday night's debate for Colorado's third congressional district went off the rails before the candidates' opening statements.

The Club 20 debate began with the moderator introducing the three panelists that would be asking the questions and then going over the ground rules.

"Do you both agree to these rules?" the moderator asked.

"Yes, ma'am," Democrat Adam Frish replied.

GOP incumbent Lauren Boebert did not reply in the affirmative.

Instead, she launched a complaint over a tweet the moderator wrote about her 2020 opponent, who is not a candidate in this cycle's race.

10. Unfortunately her only policy is grievance (and grifting).

4. It's curious how in our 'us vs them' environment any sentient being could be nonpartisan.

[rownesheck]

8. Yes!

My thoughts exactly.

5. What a waste of body parts. n/t

[Aviation Pro]

11. Or in her case a zygote.

Fucking, non-HS graduate imbecile. Rifle County is the equivalent of Florida’s Pasco County.

Just full of stupid.

14. Hang on a minute

Dade county can make a claim to that Florida title.

[DENVERPOPS]

15. Republican TRAILER TRASH BARBEE.......

Hallucinating that she is "one of them", and ignoring the fact that when they are through using her they will kick her to the curb to be swept up by a street sweeper and deposited in the dump.

The fact that she was on her cell, telling the insurrectionists where Pelosi was is not only Sedititious, but Outright Treasonous......

[packman]

7. Please -someone - tell me, or give me hope, she is going to lose reelection

9. Re-districting knocked out a strong democratic opponent for Boebert.

Boebert challenger suspends campaign over redistricting

DENVER (AP) — A leading Democratic challenger to Republican U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert in next year’s election, Colorado state Sen. Kerry Donovan, suspended her campaign Friday after the Colorado Supreme Court approved a new congressional map that puts her residence in another district.

Donovan suspended fundraising for her campaign last month after the state’s independent congressional redistricting commission approved the map, submitting it to the court for final approval. It doesn’t include Donovan’s hometown of Vail or her nearby ranch in the 3rd District, which Boebert represents.

It instead places Donovan in the 2nd District, which is represented by Democratic U.S. Rep. Joe Neguse. It also changes 3rd District lines to more heavily favor Republicans, based on recent election results.

In a statement, Donovan said the maps “failed to recognize the complexity of rural Colorado and instead divided communities, protected incumbents and ignored Coloradans’ voices” and left her with no viable path forward.

Federal law requires members of Congress to live in the state they represent, but they are not required to live in a district they wish to represent. However, congressional candidates who do not live in their districts usually face harsh criticism during their campaigns.

I really liked Kerry Donovan.

13. She should've run anyway. The law allows it

She could've easily told voters that the State took her out of the District not the other way around.

12. In other words, If you don't agree to the rules, take your shit and go home.
