Boebert Blames Barbra Streisand And Ryan Reynolds For Making Her Run In Another District

Lauren Boebert told Steve Bannon that she was running in another district because 'Hollywood elites' were donating to her opponent Adam Frisch.

Colorado Republican Representative Lauren Boebert recently revealed why she was forced to change congressional districts for the 2024 election.

On December 27, Boebert announced she would run for office in Colorado congressional district 4 (CO-4) instead of where she currently serves—district 3 (CO-3).


As one might guess, it's all Barbra Streisand's and Ryan Reynolds' fault.

In an appearance on pardoned former Trump advisor Steve Bannon's podcast, Boebert said:

"We have to shut down the Hollywood elites who are trying to buy my current district. There has been close to $10 million poured into this district to buy this seat."
"Colorado's 3rd District is not for sale. But with my announcement running in the 4th District, that shut down the dark money that was flowing into our district."

Once again painting herself as the victim, Boebert added:

"They do not have policies they are running on [in CO-3], they are simply running against Lauren Boebert. It's not just Aspen that the money is coming from, it's coming from Hollywood."
"When you have Barbra Streisand donating to the Democrat, when you have Ryan Reynolds donating to the Democrat, it shows you that Hollywood is trying to buy their way into Congress."

You can watch her comments on her efforts to remain in Congress by swapping constituencies here:

People weren't buying Boebert's excuse for switching to a heavily Republican district for 2024.

Boebert barely won her current district in 2022 with her popularity dropping drastically from 2020.











This isn’t the first time Boebert tried to name-drop to gain attention.

In November, she asked for money by claiming the two stars were working against her.

She posted on X:

"My opponent has plenty of funding from Soros dark money and even Hollywood liberals like Barbra Streisand and Ryan Reynolds."

Despite Boebert's claims, Streisand hadn't donated to Democrat Adam Frisch’s campaign in 2023 or 2024 as of this writing.

Reynolds donated just $500 in March and an additional $1,000 in May according to records from the Federal Election Commission.

Trump's Truth Social Platform Has A New AI Tool—And Trump's Not Gonna Like What It Has To Say

President Donald Trump regularly uses his social media platform Truth Social to attack his opponents and lie profusely, but the site's new "Truth Search AI" tool is unlikely to win his favor because it actually—get this—tells the truth about him and his policies.

A test conducted by the center-right news and commentary site The Bulwark found that the tool, which Truth Social debuted shortly after Trump signed an executive order to counter the use of “Woke AI” in the federal government, actually tells the truth about everything from his widely unpopular tariffs to the 2020 election results.

Trump Just Bragged That Everything In The Oval Office Is 'Real Gold'—And Even Laura Ingraham Isn't Buying It

President Donald Trump received a dubious reaction from Fox News personality Laura Ingraham after he touted the Oval Office's gold decor as "real gold" while giving her a tour.

The Oval Office has been significantly revamped since Trump took office in January—it features, among other things, fireplace adorned with gold cherubs and medallions, surrounded by portraits of American statesmen in ornate gold frames and shelves filled with gilded figurines, urns, and freshly installed Rococo mirrors.

Sydney Sweeney Speaks Out After 'Christy' Biopic Has One Of Worst Box Office Openings Of All Time

Sydney Sweeney can land a punch, but maybe not at the box office. Her latest film, Christy, a biopic about trailblazing boxer Christy Martin, landed a hard blow but barely connected with the audience, opening to a paltry $1.3 million.

That’s not just a loss; it’s a technical knockout in the “worst wide release openings ever” category, according to Box Office Mojo. For films debuting in over 2,000 theaters, Christy ranks at No. 12 overall and No. 9 when excluding rereleases.
