MAGA Star, 39, Addresses Explosive Lesbian Sex Claims
Key Points:
- Lauren Boebert, a Trump-endorsed Colorado congresswoman known for promoting "family values," faces a sworn complaint alleging inappropriate sexual relationships with three staffers and a $200,000 hush payment to one of them; Boebert and the staffers deny the claims.
- The complaint, filed by activist David B. Wheeler, accuses Boebert of violating House rules prohibiting sexual relationships with supervised employees, focusing mainly on an alleged relationship with former district director Clarice Navarro, who strongly denies the allegations.
- Wheeler claims to have supporting evidence including texts, bank records, court documents, and payroll and campaign finance records, but much of the complaint relies on unnamed sources; Wheeler has a history of controversial reporting on Boebert, including previously admitted errors.
- Boebert’s spokesperson calls the allegations a politically motivated stunt aimed at smearing her reputation, while Boebert herself categorically denies any inappropriate relationships, emphasizing she is neither lesbian nor bisexual.
- Boebert recently filed for divorce from her husband of nearly 20 years and has publicly opposed hush payments by members of Congress, making the allegations particularly damaging amid ongoing scrutiny of her personal and professional conduct.
