Less than an hour after the polls closed in Colorado, Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert (3rd District) was miles ahead of her challenger, State Representative Don Coram. Less than two hours later, Boebert has been declared the winner of her primary.

From The Washington Times:
Colorado Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert, one of the most polarizing members of Congress, easily beat back a challenge from a more mainstream Republican to clinch her primary Tuesday.
Boebert, a first-term firebrand, saw her GOP-leaning 3rd Congressional District in western Colorado become even more Republican after redistricting.
She had little trouble with moderate state Rep. Don Coram, a rancher and hemp farmer, who slams what he calls Boebert’s extremism.
Where the legacy media sees an extremist, obviously Coloradans see an ally. Boebert is a staunch supporter of former President Donald J. Trump and the America First agenda. Boebert is unafraid of the MAGA label, wearing it as a badge of honor, while exemplifying the fire and the fight that characterized Trump’s first term. Boebert, along with her colleague Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), are unafraid to call out President Joe Biden for his failures in Afghanistan, with the economy, and on the Southern Border. Boebert and Greene even heckled Biden, chanting, “Build the Wall!” during his first State of the Union address in March.

Boebert came under attack from a Democrat Super PAC which made accusations that she had worked as a sex worker and had had multiple abortions. Those allegations were proven false, and Boebert has threatened to take legal action against the group.
Despite the attacks from establishment Republicans, and heavy money being poured into Coram’s campaign from Democrats and the Left, this apparently did not blunt Boebert’s momentum or her popularity among her constituents.

Boebert 65%
Coram 35%
The RINO got blasted. Good.
I was glad to vote for Boebert. Corum would have been another assistant Democrat.
Boebert rocks. Great news!
Nice work. Congrats
She’s my favorite member of Congress to look at.
Excellent. Suck it RINOs
Hard to believe the Washington Times used to be considered a conservative paper. Everything excerpted here could have come from the Post or the Asspress.
The bartender being another?
YAY!
U go Gryl.
She makes Congress a MUCH better place.
At least some of Colo. still gets it.
A Dynamic Duo...
lol...the black guy looks like he’s wondering what these crazy white women are doing.
Republicans don’t need a “Hemp Farmer and Coffee shop owner” in Congress.
He would go out of his way not to offend those trying to destroy his country, and no chance he would fight them.
Ultra-MAGA Mary Miller also won IL-15. Now if we can get Palin in Alaska, these four gals will more than neutralize the “squad”. The Freedom Caucus is growing.
I love how the Left is having a meltdown
The extremist Colorado Republican congresswoman Lauren Boebert won her primary on Tuesday night, shortly after attacking the separation of church and state under the US constitution.
“I’m tired of this separation of church and state junk,” she said.
A dedicated controversialist first elected in 2020, backed by Donald Trump and described by NBC News as a “Maga lightning rod”, Boebert convincingly beat Don Coram, a state senator, for the nomination to contest the midterm elections.
Great great news...
It is hopefully demonstrating the days of Boehner/Ryan get along go along lack of fortitude are gone.
It’s fun and scary to watch them.
The Left is despicable in every way. That we are deplorable to them is an honor.
Good.
