Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold (D) slammed Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) over her decision to switch districts for the 2024 election cycle, calling the move “blatant self-preservation.”

Boebert announced Wednesday that she will not seek reelection in the 3rd District and instead move to the 4th District, currently held by retiring Rep. Ken Buck (R-Colo.).

“She knows that she has failed the citizens of her district. She has failed to deliver for Coloradans on the western slope on issues that matter to them,” Griswold said in an MSNBC interview. “She has failed to deliver legislatively. There’s scandal after scandal after scandal.”

“I do think this is her trying to hold on to power,” she added.

    Probably not. There are plenty of people running that are as far right as her that don’t come with the baggage of being a national embarrassment.

      Although to the MAGA wing, things that the rest of us consider embarrassments are seen as positives, so who knows anymore?

        This is sadly very true, but what I’m hearing from the local MAGAts is that they don’t like the kind of whore who would do sex stuff on public (with a Democrat, no less). Mostly they’re hypocrites, because if she was a man, they’d say that’s just how men are. I find a mashing a dude’s dick around to be one of the least offensive things she’s done except for the whole “in public around people who didn’t consent to see that” part, but I’m also not a conservative so 🤷‍♀️
