Welcome to the first part of the #LaurenBoebertLies summary.
Lauren’s favorite video of herself is with a life-size cardboard cutout of Kamala Harris. It must be, because she’s had it pinned on her @RepBoebert page since June 8. The joke is, much of her own life is a
Lauren’s favorite video of herself is with a life-size cardboard cutout of Kamala Harris. It must be, because she’s had it pinned on her @RepBoebert page since June 8. The joke is, much of her own life is a
cardboard invention.

She lies about her parentage. She said her mom was “divorced” while they were in Florida, but there’s no record of her mom being married or divorced in Florida.
But her lineage IS kinda interesting. Her mother tried suing Stan Lee the wrestler for child
support. The story gets weirder when the paternity tests came back negative, and weirder still when it turns out the woman who did the paternity test had a history of faking them. And there are court records in this reporting that include her birth certificate, which leads
us to the next lie.

She lies about being raised in a “Democrat household.” Her mother first registered to vote in Colorado as a Republican in 2001, when Boebert was 14. She stayed a Republican until 2013 (when Lauren was

She lies about standing in line for “government cheese” and “cheese and bread lines.” Bread lines were a common feature of the Great Depression of the 1930s. The Federal government stopped
giving out surplus cheese (which was a way to support dairy prices) in the early 1990s.
She lies about why she left high school in 2004.

She lies about why she left high school in 2004.
First it was because she was a new mother. “I was a brand-new mom, and I had to make hard decisions on successfully raising my child, or
getting to high school biology class. And I chose to take care of my child,” she said. [Sept 15, 2020, interview with Durango Herald, durangoherald.com/articles/laure…]
But from an instagram post she made publicly on Mar 21, 2021, wishing him a happy 16th birthday, we know her oldest son was born Mar 21, 2005. [instagram.com/p/CMr_KKin6nK/]
Then it was because McDonald’s wanted to promote her to management. Her official House website says
Then it was because McDonald’s wanted to promote her to management. Her official House website says
“Her senior year of high school, she earned an opportunity to serve as an assistant manager at her local McDonald’s. She made the difficult decision to drop out of school to help put food on her family's table, realizing she could provide better for herself than the
government ever could.”

She even lies about the day she was married. Her campaign website said it was 6/9/2005 (now scrubbed from the site), but county records and contemporaneous news articles list the date as 6/9/2007.

She claimed in a 2015 interview with the LA Times to be a “former Miss Junior Colorado.” latimes.com/nation/la-na-s… But no record can be found of her holding any such title.
She lied about her volunteer work with the county jail. Everything from the application she filled out when she said she’d never been arrested to how much time she volunteered there.

At a campaign event in #SilverCliff (which still doesn’t have its own zip code) in October,
2020, Rep. Lauren Boebert told a story of 7 years of bringing a “message of freedom and independence to women at the Garfield County jail.” Except it was about 8 visits.

She lies about why the staff at Shooters carries guns. She told a dramatic story on the campaign trail and on the House floor in March, 2021, that it was because a man was murdered outside her restaurant. But he wasn’t. He died of an overdose.

That’s it for this edition of #LaurenBoebertLies. If she’ll lie about stuff that’s this easy to debunk, what else is she lying about? There are many, many, many more. And we haven’t even gotten to when she took office, or the curious tours of the Capitol she’s been spotted on.
Thanks to the investigative journalists and other folks, especially @adoptseniordogs, @Shawnel69322388, and @tobymorton, for all the work they do to bring truth to light.
