| Description | The same political group that helped overturn U.S. Rep. Madison Cawthorn’s reelection bid in North Carolina is now taking aim at Colorado’s West Slope provocateur, U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert.
While the political action committee – American Muckrakers – spread a video in which Cawthorn was identifiable, its claims against Boebert, of Silt, are much more tenuous.
One rumor of an ATV accident in Utah holds a kernel of truth, though Boebert’s spokesman disputes major details. Other allegations, including that of working as a paid escort, appear based entirely on anonymous and heavily redacted sources. The Denver Post could not find any information or witnesses to support those claims. Some news outlets have run with the story, though, and the allegations continue to circulate widely on social media.
David Wheeler, a former Democratic candidate for the North Carolina Senate, said he couldn’t reveal his sources but said voters can look online and hear the audio recordings and read the text messages he’s collected. |
