Denver newspaper 'begs' voters to throw 'toxic, unproductive' Lauren Boebert out of office

Although Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado — a far-right MAGA Republican, QAnon sympathizer and conspiracy theorist — is often slammed as an extremist by her critics, she has a very good chance of being reelected on Tuesday, November 8. Democrats have generally been performing well in Colorado in recent years; President Joe Biden carried the state by around 14 percent in 2020. But Boebert is in one of Colorado’s most Republican congressional districts.

In a biting editorial published on October 29, the Denver Post’s editorial board lays out some reasons why it would love to see voters remove Boebert from office.

“We beg voters in western and southern Colorado not to give Rep. Lauren Boebert their vote,” the board writes. “Boebert has not represented (Colorado’s) 3rd Congressional District well. Almost exclusively, she has spent her time and efforts contributing to the toxic political environment in this nation…. Boebert’s unproductive approach, combined with the efforts of others, has helped erode Congress’ ability to honestly debate public policy that could help people in her district.”

The Post’s board goes on to argue that Adam Frisch, the Democratic congressional nominee who is trying to unseat Boebel, “would be a better representative for the people of the 3rd Congressional District.”

The CEO, Art Pope, inherited the multi multi billion dollar chain. He is North Carolina’s Koch Bro. He ownes the NC republicans. He sent Meadows and Cawthorn just to name two. He is pushing Budd over Beasley. Budd is for nationwide abortion. He is for no math, history or science taught before 6th grade. And Pope is behind the court case headed to the supremacy Court saying Legislators have full control over the vote count, can choose their own electors as they deem fit, and no court can intervene. We can anticipate the SC judgement to be in favor. The Dollar Store (China Shit Outlet) can end our democracy, and are trying to do just that.
We have 13 Dollar stores in my WNC county. Only churches outnumber them.
How powerful is he, have you heard a peep out of Cawthorn, the once mouth of the south. The former GQP rising star? He owns NC GQP. Those damn “Dollars” add up.

Depending on the ownership. Current ownership is fairly conservative, which makes this notable.
