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.

      What it could do is show rich educated Democrats that they can accomplish something when they donate and show up

      I’m looking at you, people who are hard headed and tech savvy enough to navigate the fediverse.

        uhh those conservative democrats like everything exactly the way it is, which is why the struggle so hard to conserve it by not actually accomplishing much… ya know, like when obama and clinton took a giant dump all over bernie and then wondered why they lost.

        democrats are still playing the old, conservation game. republicans have moved on to straight what-can-we-get-away-with-fascism

        and that leaves the general american public and the actually terrible ‘economy’ with fucking nothing.
