Lauren Boebert Lashes Out Over Potential $200 Billion for Iran War
Newsweek ^ | March 20, 2026 | Khaleda Rahman

Posted on 03/20/2026 8:17:37 AM PDT by Trump20162020

Republican Representative Lauren Boebert of Colorado has responded furiously to reports that the Pentagon is seeking $200 billion in additional funds for the Iran war.

Boebert told CNN's Manu Raju on Thursday that she would not support any supplemental funding for the war.

"I will not vote for a war supplemental," she said. "No. I am a no. I've already told leadership. I am a no on any war supplementals. I am so tired of spending money elsewhere."

She continued: "I am tired of the industrial-war complex getting all of our hard-earned tax dollars. I have folks in Colorado who can't afford to live. We need America First policies right now, and that? I'm not doing that."

This article won’t find too much sympathy here. This is the only type of spending that is deemed wasteful about 5% of the time.

Easy to keep track. The pretenders keep outing themselves. Bobert’s been out for awhile.

I think she is correct.

We were promised no new wars in 2024 as a part of the campaign.

I always viewed MTG, Mace and Boobert with suspicion. All of them are loose cannons. Why she is demanding an extension of Obamacare subsidies is beyond me.

I hear Hollywood is thinking about a reboot to be called “Lauren and Marjory” It’s about two women at that time of life driving across America organizing Anti-MAGE rallies.

This isn’t a new war but the end of the decades long assault by Iran.

How did you think this was going to end, we ask them nicely again??

see, the little air head doesnt understand or comprehend whats at stake here. Has 9-11 really been forgotten?. If any of these religious fanatics ever gets ANY kind of nuclear device and if anybody doesn’s think they’ll use it... the Iran problem had to addressed eventually. Keep kicking the can down the road, and itll be too late. Choice is simple. And please, stop electing chicks to the congress...sure, its cute and funny at first, then the novelty wears off. This is serious business.

Who's the "pretender" -- Boebert or Trump?

Because she's in a tight House race and her constituents are clamoring for them.

Trump has also stated, since the 1980’s, that Iran will NEVER get a nuclear weapon...quit comparing this to other idiotic military actions.

What part of “Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon” do you fail to understand?

No offense to Lauren but I’m trying to remember if she was this put out the last time she voted for a spending bill with all the left wing pork included.
