Lauren Boebert’s own congressional district seeks investigation into her role in U.S. Capitol attack

Troubles are now mounting for House Republican Lauren Boebert by the hour. Earlier this afternoon her Communications Director resigned, citing the Capitol domestic terrorist attack. Now elected officials in Boebert’s own district are seeking an investigation into her actions in relation to the attack.

It’ll be up to law enforcement investigators to determine whether Boebert or anyone else in the House has criminal liability for their roles in inciting the Capitol attack. But even if Boebert doesn’t end up criminally charged, it’s difficult to see her emerging unscathed from this. She’s become a pariah, and now even her own district seems to be turning against her.
