'Hard disagree'Lauren Boebert torched after saying constituents' health is 'not' her job
"Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) was recently seen in a video plainly saying that safeguarding the health of her Eastern Colorado constituents wasn't her priority, sparking outrage on social media.
In the video, which was posted to X on Monday by the account @PatriotTakes, Boebert is speaking on a Zoom broadcast from her office. While the context of the video is unclear, she appears to have been speaking to constituents, given that she spoke in the second person while describing her role as an elected official (Boebert is also currently back home in Colorado's 4th Congressional District for a month-long recess).
"My job as your representative, as a congresswoman, is not to make sure that you are healthy and safe in every aspect of your life," Boebert said. "I'd probably send you a Peloton and a gym membership and then make sure you're buckling your seatbelt every time you get in a car, maybe [unintelligible] be in a car. My job is to keep you free."
Boebert's comments were met with a barrage of criticism on social media, prompting responses from both Coloradans and others. Trisha Calavarese, who is running against Boebert in 2026, wrote "hard disagree" in response to Boebert's claim that she wasn't responsible for constituents' health."
