Colorado voters have defeated Republican U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert, removing from Congress one of its most relentless antagonists of LGBTQ+ people. Boebert had turned opposition to equality into a national political brand.

Democrat Eileen Laubacher, a retired Navy rear admiral, will defeat Boebert in Colorado’s 4th Congressional District, according to CNN’s projection Monday afternoon. Laubacher led 48.77 percent to 47.92 percent.

She was pretty hardcore MAGA.

Very, very sad. When a Republican has some personal issues... Of with their head!

When a Democrat has personal issue... the get celebrated and re-elected.

Politicians are people. They are not saints, and we should not expect them to be saints.

A loathesome, stupid and skanky woman. Repulsive in every respect. Addition by subtraction.
A bad thing short term. But eventually her seat will be filled by someone with a moral pulse and a brain cell or two.

MTG may have been annoying, and she’s gone wacky lately- but you know what? She was the only one who had the guts to bring articles of impeachment against Biden...

Before we can return as a serious party, we need to get rid of our clowns.

It was a meaningless gesture (even if Biden deserved it)
Every time she opened her mouth I got second hand embarrassment. I wonder how a lot of these people get elected.

meaningless because, as is usually the case, the spineless cowards in the GOP refused to get behind the cause despite having every reason to in 2023...

What does hardcore MAGA even mean anymore? Pro Trump? Which Trump? Truth Social Trump or 60 Minutes Trump?

People may not be saints, but we don’t expect the people we elect to be undisciplined and stupid enough to be filmed giving her date a handjob at an indoor movie theater. Real class and judgment there....

Senators first and foremost need to be able to win a statewide election. If they can’t do that, this entire point isn’t worthy of debate.

Speaking of MTG, she's been pretty quiet lately hasn't she?
