Saw this earlier and I'm still on the fence about whether it's legit. Legit or not, I don't expect it to move the needle much.

Me too... but their track record merits consideration.

Doesn't their track record just consist of Cawthorn? I'm really not a fan of some of what they did with Cawthorn. What we already knew about Cawthorn was more than enough that voters should know he's unfit to serve as a Congressman. Maybe the end (Cawthorn getting primaried) justifies the means. I don't know.

But this group is pretty slimy. Even the Lincoln Project has some slime to it, but this group turns the dial up a few more notches.

I’m unclear why they keep harping on her being an “unlicensed escort.” It’s illegal just about everywhere other than a few counties in Nevada, so being unlicensed seems pretty much a given. As for the rest, what is bad for boebert is almost certainly good for America.

Isn't being an escort good practice for being a politician?

I could tell there was something familiar about her

https://forum.slowtwitch.com/...ost=7641949#p7641949

She & Kimmy Gargoyle walk the same way; they could probably teach Maggie Three Names, but she's kinda lacking in the "toes" department, and can't get her Fred Flintstone feet into heels

Oh, so you're not familiar?

Think of it as similar to being an "unregistered nurse".

It’s opposition research, right? I don’t think this is anything new.

I think it’s interesting that Ted Cruz is included in this prostitution/ abortion story because it should hurt him as well.

I think Pence is doing a lot of orchestration right now, so I think his Republican Christian people are behind this. Smells like Pence to me.

Correct and select dial turning is in order. I say carry on.

Wasn’t this already known? I seem to recall copies of her escort ad were circulating a while back.

Because they aren't saying she was a prostitute, they are alleging she was an escort. And CO has a law requiring that escorts be licensed, which is cited on that page. Now lets be real, I'm betting if someone is paying good money to be escorted by her it is not for the scintillating conversation. But different strokes and all that.

Here is the site: https://www.fireboebert.com/boebertabortions

Pictures that are supposedly of her are on there too. I can't tell if they are her or not.

If they have done this and they are wrong they need sued into oblivion. And I'm with Trail, the methods of these guys are pretty sleazy and distasteful. I'd much rather she be voted out for being a moron and bad representative.

I'm beginning to think that we are much more fucked than I thought.

This PAC claims to be a coalition of Republicans, Democrats and unaffiliated voters, but that does not ring true for the same reasons you and Trail find it distasteful.

Democrats and Republicans loyal to the rule of law would attack Boebert for other reasons and would probably not touch the abortion/escort-prostitution stuff.

That’s why I think this comes from the evangelicals. I think they want to purge the clownish GOP of the people they find embarrassing.

Boebert was hired by a wealthy male client in Aspen, Colorado, who was a Koch family member. Boebert’s rich client subsequently introduced her to U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (RTX) in Aspen in 2019. After meeting with Senator Cruz, Boebert was encouraged by him to run for U.S. Congress. After Boebert announced her campaign for Congress in December 2019, Senator Cruz donated $126,000.00 to the Boebert Campaign and helped her raise large sums of money during trips Boebert made to Texas.


Boebert didn’t disclose a $75,000 donation until Cruz’s Federal Election Commission filings contradicted
her filings.


It is hard to wrap my head around how insane the GOP has become.

this is the part i'm ambivalent about. on the one hand, she seems like a garbage human being and i'm not too proud to admit some schadenfreude. on the other hand, i'd really like justice to be delivered through the courts and judgement at the ballot box - she's ignorant and dangerous and that ought to be enough.

here's a PAC we know next to nothing about, who are literally called "muckrakers," who have decided to torpedo a target for whatever reason. who's next, and why?

Legit or not, what is clear is they need an editor and a proof reader.

My guess would be that being woke means not disparaging sex workers?

So the bad part isn't that she was a prostitute but that it was unlicensed (and the hypocrisy of it all), or something to that effect.

I think the bad is that she has had two abortions but still had no problem campaigning on taking that right from other women. The fact that she was recruited by Ted Cruz to run for Congress while on a "date" with a client and lied on her financial disclosures is also pretty bad.

I doubt anything will come of this. GOP has embraced hypocrisy as a core value.

Right, I was just talking about the prostitution part of the accusations.

So let's pretend I believe all this.

Cruz "You should run for office. That way I can donate $126,000 legally for your 'services'"

Boebert - actually runs for office and wins.

Cruz - "shit"
