Rep. Lauren Boebert is blaming Hollywood for her decision to switch congressional districts.
“We have to shut down the Hollywood elites who are trying to buy my current district,” Boebert told Steve Bannon on his “War Room” podcast on Saturday.
“There has been close to $10 million poured into this district to buy this seat. Colorado’s 3rd District is not for sale,” she continued.
Boebert then named the stars, who she said were backing her rivals.
“When you have Barbra Streisand coming in and donating to the Democrat, when you have Ryan Reynolds coming in and donating to the Democrat, it shows you that Hollywood is trying to buy their way into Congress,” Boebert told Bannon.
I’m surprised this hasn’t been brought up yet, but obligatory reminder that “Hollywood Elites” is a dogwhistle that means “Jews.” It’s antisemitic.
I don’t know if Lauren knows that, but I’m sure she knows her supporters say that shit and doesn’t care what baggage such a phrase comes with.

She’s just parroting other conservatives when she says this shit. She doesn’t really know anything. She’s legitimately the dumbest person in Congress. It’s not even close. Gosar is the dumbest doctor but still a doctor. Tuberville at least knows how to coach college football, for what that’s worth. And MTG is probably twice as smart as Boebert, which still makes MTG the second dumbest person in Congress.
