The Democratic Rep. sent 'thoughts and prayers' to the MAGA Rep. after she only placed 5th in a Colorado straw poll of GOP voters.

Things are not looking good for far-right MAGA lunatic—er, Republican Colorado Representative, Lauren Boebert's 2024 reelection campaign.

Boebert shocked everyone when she finished in just fifth place in a recent straw poll of GOP candidates in Colorado's fourth district, where she has decided to run in November since defeat in her current seat in Colorado's third district looked all but assured this November.


And Democratic Texas Representative Jasmine Crockett just couldn't help but throw some subtle but incisive shade at her colleague because of it.

Crockett took to X, fka Twitter, to drag Boebert with a riff on Republicans' favorite response any time there's a mass shooting in this country:

“Before I go to bed, I thought it would only be fitting to send 'thoughts & prayers' to my colleague, Lauren Boebert. It’s my understanding that she placed 5th in her first straw poll of the election cycle."

Crockett went on to mock Boebert's frequent rhetoric about election polls.

"Now how many of y’all think BoBo gonna try to convince us that polls don’t matter… of course unless they are trash for Biden & great for Trump!”

In a debate held in Colorado last week, Boebert's fellow Republicans lambasted her as a "carpetbagger" after she hastily announced she would not seek reelection in CO-03, where she actually lives, and where she won reelection in 2022 by just 546 votes.

Instead, she's running for Republican Representative Ken Buck's seat in CO-04 after he announced his retirement from Congress.

In the straw poll that followed the debate, the assembled crowd audibly gasped when she garnered just 10% of the vote.

Straw polls aren't particularly scientific, so it doesn't necessarily mean Boebert's goose is cooked. But considering her national profile and MAGA bona fides, it's not a great sign for her to came in second or third, let alone fifth.

Many on social media are of course downright gleeful about Boebert's misfortune,






And people loved Crockett's snappy response.



Anyway, be best, Lauren.

An Older MAGA Voter's Rant About How Prices Are Going Up Due To Trump Is Getting Epically Skewered

Keith Pedersen, a senior Trump voter, went viral after sharing on Facebook his complaints about how prices for gas, groceries and other essentials are going up under President Trump—and has received some very unsympathetic responses.

In January, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins claimed that food prices were coming down, even as the Consumer Price Index shows grocery costs rose 0.7% in December. Beef, which Rollins elevated near the top of the food pyramid in the dietary guidelines she recently unveiled, increased 1% over the month and was up 16.4% compared with a year earlier.

Someone Hacked Crosswalks In Denver To Play Hilariously NSFW Anti-Trump Messages—And It's Brilliant

Hackers changed the messages on some newly-installed crosswalks in Denver, Colorado, to play messages criticizing President Donald Trump—to the delight of anti-Trumpers.

The crosswalk push-buttons were newly installed and “still bagged,” operating on factory settings that included a default password easily found online, according to Nancy Kuhn of the Denver Department of Transportation and Infrastructure. She said the password has now been changed and officials “don’t expect a repeat situation" at these locations.

Kevin Hart Shared A Video Of His New Wax Sculpture Likeness—And His Reaction Is Priceless

Creating wax figures of celebrities and historical figures should be one of those things that, if you can't do it right, you probably shouldn't do it at all.

Though there have been some examples of successive likenesses, like the recent Harry Styles world tour, most celebrity renditions inevitably have something about them that looks a little... off.
