Shot Down: Rep. Lauren Boebert's Gun-Themed Restaurant Closes In Colorado

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) has lost the lease on her gun-themed restaurant, Shooters.

The restaurant in Rifle, Colorado, known for pistol-toting servers and a 2017 diarrhea outbreak, shut down on Sunday, according to multiple reports.

The Daily Beast reported last month that the building’s new owners ― who also own a cannabis dispensary ― revoked Boebert’s lease. An unnamed source was quoted as saying the new owners felt a “moral” imperative to shut it down but did not elaborate.

Boebert, who is so extreme that a fellow Republican slammed her as “the Christian Taliban,” told the Glenwood Springs Post Independent the letter came as a shock, and the new landlords told her “there wasn’t really much wiggle room or anywhere to compromise unless we bought the building ourselves.”

Where will redcaps in Rifle (FFS) go to harass servers and consume tainted pork while trading conspiracy theories and terrorist plots NOW?

That the librul media and the woke CRT antifa thugs are so scared of her that she needs another term to carry on the battle.

no one seems to have a recent photo outside the restaurant. Even Denver Channel 9 (that can be wonderfully snarky) or the Denver Post.

Tots and Pears, BooBert.
