Critics of Republican Representative Lauren Boebert had something to celebrate on Thursday.
Boebert’s political rival, Adam Frisch, raised $3.4 million for his campaign in the third quarter of 2023, ratcheting up his cash on hand to $4.3 million. The fundraising was backed by more than 100,000 donations with an average of $32, according to a press release from his campaign. The announcement comes after Frisch outpaced Boebert’s fundraising 3-to-1 in the second quarter, when Boebert raised $818,000 to Frisch’s more than $2.6 million.
I don’t like Boebert any more than the next person with an average IQ … she’s an idiot.
But the most disturbing thing about this story is the idea that whoever has the most money gets to be elected.
I have my criticisms about conservatives and I have my disagreements but normalizing the idea that money is what gets people elected should be just as disturbing.
Because if that is so … it isn’t a democracy. It’s something else.
I agree 100%, but at the same time you have to work within the system as it is. Losing races due to taking principled stances about dirty campaign money and purity risks giving victories to fascists. That’s the more immediate problem.
Can’t fix anything without getting elected first
She should try Onlyfans 😅
Who is going to pay for it when she doles it out in public though?
Also, gross.
We can only hope 🤞
She’s a rotten stupid Cunt.
Pretty sad that the front runner is determined by how much cash they can get from their supporters.
Imagine if their success was driven by their action.
Oh. I’m sure she could have success. It’s just that congress isn’t where her actions would be appreciated and monetized.
I dunno. Think the MIWLF scene really generates much money?
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Democrat hoping for rematch against Lauren Boebert touts $3.4 million in donations – biggest quarterly haul yet," user @kathrynresists posted.
Many critics referenced the recent debacle in which Boebert was kicked out of a performance of the Beetlejuice musical in Denver in September after she was accused of vaping, illegally recording and causing a disturbance during the show.
Boebert attended the show with her date, Quinn Gallagher, and the two were allegedly groping each other during the performance.
“However, Boebert’s situation has changed since then due to her involvement in a scandal related to sexual misconduct at the Beetlejuice musical,” the user posted.
Newsweek reached out to Boebert’s press office and Frisch’s campaign by email for comment.
In July, the Cook Political Report shifted the race to a toss-up after previously saying it would lean Republican.
