Lauren Boebert is crazy. She might sue me for saying that, but remember that truth is always a defense in a libel suit.
She is a follower of QAnon, the far right conspiracy theory group which still believes that Hillary Clinton was involved in a child sex trafficking ring operating out of the basement of a Washington, D.C. pizza parlor.
Boebert won the primary, upsetting five-term Rep. Scott Tipton in western Colorado. Tipton was a conservative Republican, but most people consider him sane. Since she is running in an overwhelming Republican district, she will probably be elected to Congress.
She is not the only crazy person running. There is another one in Georgia, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and a U.S. Senate candidate in Oregon named Jo Rae Perkins. Perkins will lose, but the other two stand a chance to be elected.
This is where American politics is today. The state party in Colorado will be backing Boebert. The head of the House Republican campaign group said this: “This is a Republican seat and will remain a Republican seat as Nancy Pelosi and senior House Democrats continue peddling their radical conspiracy theories and pushing their radical cancel culture.”
So, the national Republican Congressional committee is willing to back a person who obviously should be institutionalized. That’s where American politics is at today.
