The MAGA Rep. featured her youngest son, Roman, listing off everything she's 'gotten done' for Colorado in a new political campaign ad—and it isn't sitting well with critics.

Colorado Republican Representative Lauren Boebert was widely criticized after featuring her youngest son, Roman, listing off everything she's "gotten done" for Colorado in a new political campaign ad.

In the 30-second campaign video, Boebert's son Roman takes center stage as he invites Boebert to play basketball, but she replies that she's busy preparing for her new campaign commercial.


Roman then responds by stumping for his mother:

"That's easy, mom. Why don't you just tell them about how you carry a gun and always fight for freedom? Did you tell them about how you voted to cut spending and increase American energy production?"

The ad then shows Boebert nodding in agreement as Roman offers further suggestions for his mother's campaign pitch:

"You should probably also tell them that you pass bills to create Colorado jobs and to secure the border."

Boebert praises her son and asks him, "What's next?" before they engage in a friendly game of basketball.

The MAGA Republican shared the ad to X, formerly Twitter, writing:

"My youngest son Roman helped out with our latest campaign ad, reminding Coloradans of what I've gotten done for our state in Congress!"

You can see her post and the video below.

It didn't go over well.


Boebert's reelection bid is not without challenges.

Despite narrowly retaining her seat in 2022, she faces a tough battle in the upcoming election. Her decision to switch from Colorado's 3rd to the more Republican-leaning 4th district, citing a desire for a fresh start after her divorce, has only opened her up to criticism that she is an opportunistic carpet bagger.

Last month, Boebert was mocked for hosting a campaign event in Adams County that was very sparsely attended. She also consistently fares badly in straw polls in her home state.

Jasmine Crockett Calls Out Trump's Hypocrisy By Pointing Out How Melania Got Her Visa

Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett pointed out President Donald Trump's hypocrisy on immigration considering how First Lady Melania Trump's pathway to citizenship was possible because she received an "Einstein visa," which is usually reserved for an individual with "some sort of significant achievement."

Speaking during a House Judiciary Committee hearing titled “Restoring Integrity and Security to the Visa Process,” Crockett noted that “the idea that Trump and my Republican colleagues want to restore integrity and security in the visa process is actually a joke," and harshly criticized the Trump administration's immigration crackdown and visa restrictions.

Fox Host Comes To Reporter's Defense After Pete Hegseth Berates Her At Pentagon Briefing

Fox News' chief political analyst Brit Hume came to the defense of Fox national security reporter Jennifer Griffin after their former colleague, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, criticized Griffin as the reporter "who misrepresents the most intentionally what the president says” in a Pentagon news conference.

Hegseth, a former Fox News anchor, had criticized media outlets—including his former network—for what he described as unpatriotic reporting. Hegseth took particular aim at early intelligence assessments suggesting that President Donald Trump's bombing of Iran may not have significantly crippled Iran’s nuclear capabilities.

Fox Host Slams Dem For Dropping An F-Bomb After Praising Trump For The Same Thing Just Minutes Earlier

Fox News host Emily Compagno was criticized after she praised Donald Trump's use of the "f-bomb" earlier this week before condemning Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett's use of the same word—on the same episode of her show, no less.

Trump made headlines this week after admonishing Israel and Iran for violating a ceasefire agreement he'd announced on Truth Social. Although he claimed the ceasefire had been "agreed upon," Iran fired at least six missile barrages at Israel after it was supposed to take effect.
