Lauren Boebert Denies Hitting Ex-Husband After He Called Police During Public Altercation
HuffPost
Police are investigating the incident, which happened to occur on the third anniversary of the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol insurrection.
Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) denied hitting her ex-husband after reports surfaced claiming that the two were involved in a physical altercation on Saturday.
Police are investigating the incident between the congresswoman and Jayson Boebert that took place at a restaurant in Silt, Colorado. Neither of them were arrested.
Mike Kite, chief of the Silt Police Department, told The Washington Post that “police are reviewing surveillance tape and talking to possible witnesses.”
“American Muckrakers” — a political action committee that works toward ousting politicians, including Boebert, from Congress — posted about the incident on X (formerly Twitter) that night claiming that the representative punched her ex-husband in the face twice, and then continued to attack him.
In a statement to the Post, Boebert denied her ex-husband’s claims.
