Rep. Lauren Boebert’s gun-themed, open carry restaurant closes in Colorado

Rep. Lauren Boebert’s open carry-friendly restaurant in Rifle, Colorado, officially shut its doors this weekend due to its lease not being renewed.

Ms. Boebert, Colorado Republican, said the news from her landlord was a “shock,” given that she and her husband had owned the establishment, dubbed Shooters Grill, since 2013.

“There wasn’t really much wiggle room or anywhere to compromise unless we bought the building ourselves,” Ms. Boebert told the Post Independent, referring to her new lease.

The congresswoman said she plans to maintain Shooters’ place in the community via a scaled-down version that could look like a bakery or coffee shop.

“I would say Shooters, for any employee, was their life. We lived and breathed it every single day. They were a part of this culture and brand that we created in Rifle, and there was a lot of pride with that,” Ms. Boebert said.

Leftists destroy everything. How much you want to bet that some POS left-wing activist group pressured the landlord to pull this crap. This is who the Left is, they’ll scour the bowels of Hell to find anything they can use to destroy conservatives.

I hope the landlord suffers from years of no one being interested in the site for their business.

“Thanks for paying rent through Covid...”

Well, you assume they did. Lots of commercial tenants in fact did not.

So buy it, find someone else to buy it and lease it to you, or shut up about it.

She said it wasn’t a political decision by the landlord.

Of course he's going to say that because whatever left-wing group threatened or paid him to him to say that.

Supposedly the landlords own pot dispensaries, which means you know what they are converting the space into.

Marijuana ruins everything.

I think a leftist company bought the building so they could end the lease.

So they could have bought the building. Looks like a case of capitalism to me.

The Cancel Culture is acting as if there was not consequences for their actions. I imagine a lawsuit for taking away a livelihood because of political reasons. In fact, see civil penalties like that cake baker had to suffer.

Never rent when you open a business. Buy the building or do not start.

A bunch of us need to crowdfund and buy the building.

I bet there is cell phone evidence that reveals extremist's connection to the landlord.

OK, if you say so. Why do I find it hard to believe that?
