TOPLINE Republican Lauren Boebert won her House race in Colorado, the Associated Press projects, making her the second congressional candidate to win election this year who has openly supported the fringe conspiracy theory QAnon.

Boebert won her race for Colorado’s third congressional district over Democratic challenger and former member of the Colorado House of Representatives Diane Mitsch Bush.

The Colorado Republican has previously said she had hopes that “Q”—the anonymous leader of the fringe movement—”is real”—she has since attempted to distance herself from the conspiracy theory.

Georgia Republican and QAnon supporter Marjorie Taylor Greene also won her House race in Georgia on Tuesday, the Associated Press projected.

Wouldn't surprise me if they form a QAnon Caucus.

9. I lived in Colorado for 27 years

but on the Front Range, not the Western Slope. We were in a bar near Steamboat Springs about 20 years ago, and I engaged the bartender in conversation. He was wearing the full-on fake cowboy outfit. I thought I heard something in his voice that was familiar, so I asked him where he was from. He said he was a fourth-generation Colorado cowboy whose family owned a ranch "just a piece down the road."

"Funny," I said. "You sound like you're from Maryland."

Turns out he was a Marylander who'd just moved to Colorado, so he thought the whole fake cowboy thing would get him tips from stupid tourists. My wife's family is from Maryland, so I know that B-more accent. There's no hiding it behind a big hat.

23. Boebert is a similar fraud case.

"Despite her pistol-packing rural Western persona, Boebert grew up in a working-class suburb of Denver,..."

https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2020/09/13/lauren-boebert-congress-409983

And according to Wikipedia, "Boebert was born in Altamonte Springs, Florida in 1986. When she was 12 years old, Boebert moved with her family to the Montbello neighborhood of Denver and later to Aurora, Colorado, before settling in Rifle, Colorado, in 2003."

4. I live in this nutcases district

I do plan on making her one term memorable.

[mountain grammy]

12. I'm sorry..

[niyad]

15. I have a friend there who will gladly help!

[randr]

21. Tell your friend to keep pressure on

The Q must stick like stink to these morons

[bluedigger]

5. My new congresscritter.

What a fucking embarrassment.

[mountain grammy]

13. Yep..

I thought Tipton was bad.. Geez . I'm grateful my red county is part of Boulder's district.

[LudwigPastorius]

6. Whaddya know?

It turns out, that the already-far-right Republican Party, and its fringe-right Freedom Caucus, now have members to the extreme right of them.

How does “The Gibbering Batshit Insane Caucus sound for these people?

[Yeehah]

7. Looks like Colorado has its own Palin family now

Will be interesting to see what hijinks they get into.

[niyad]

16. And she isn't even holding her gun in that one.

[LudwigPastorius]

19. Well, you can't see her left hand.

...and, Cowboy Jim-Bob sure has a wide grin on his big, dumb face.

[lonely bird]

20. You say he's a liar and he put out your fire

How come you still got his gun in your hand?

Sorry. Couldn’t resist.

8. There are two infections loose on the country.

From early on in the pandemic someone said:

Containing the virus depends on two things: 1) how dense the population is, & 2) how dense the population is.

[OldBaldy1701E]

14. I wonder what he is going to do...

when one or two of his boys turn up with their boyfriends? (Hypothetical. I know nothing about them.)

Oh, and he looks so ridiculous with that hat... does he even realize it? (Probably wearing it for the same reason my father did... hide that bald spot!)

17. The "Q-Caucus". n/t

[colorado_ufo]

18. She knew that all she had to do was cherry-pick the issues to promote.

Her campaign made it seem like God-fearin', gun-totin', hearth-huggin', and flag-wavin', no-abortions-allowed would save them from a "big city liberal" who would take all their hard-earned dollars and spend 'em to help heathens, ingrates, and lazy welfare recipients. And in the process, she could use her gun to chase off all the Hollywood pedophiles!

Yeah. "Salt of the earth." Right.

Oh - yes - and God save fracking.

22. Lauren Boebert is a piece of work.

The law and order candidate has had a few run-ins with the law herself.

"Congressional candidate Lauren Boebert — who often espouses a pro-police, law-and-order message on the campaign trail — has been arrested and summonsed at least four times over the past decade, records show."

24. god damn it...

[bdamomma]

25. Nancy

has 2 of them in the House to straighten out.

[NurseJackie]

26. I hope the rational people in congress will shun and isolate them...

... the same way that the character "Bill Henricks" was shunned by his colleagues (on HBO's "Big Love&quot after he revealed he was a bigamist during his victory speech.
