Lauren Boebert just crawled ever deeper into the MAGA fringe.
Her latest embrace is MAGA activist Scott Presler, founder of the super PAC Early Vote Action. If that name sounds harmless, the money behind it isn’t.
The PAC is bankrolled by a who’s-who of the MAGA fringe—including Elon Musk, who dropped one million dollars, Turning Point USA, and groups tied to Micheal Flynn, the same circle that helped push Q-anon conspiracies and political extremism to the mainstream.
But it gets worse.
One of the PAC’s repeat donors is Tristan Tate, brother of “masculinity” influencer Andrew Tate. Both were arrested last year on rape, torture, and human-trafficking charges connected to an alleged international trafficking operation.
Those are the kinds of dollars now flowing into Boebert’s political orbit. Voters see it. That’s why she is unpopular. And it’s why she’s more vulnerable than ever.
Boebert is only in Congress because of 546 votes. And the last time Democrat Trisha Calvarese ran against her, our campaign delivered the best Democratic performance in this district’s history, outperforming Kamala Harris by 6 points.
The window for Democrats to finally end Lauren Boebert’s career is wide open. But we have to take it.
