Full timeline of Lauren Boebert controversies: All the times US congresswoman shocked the world with...
Lauren Boebert, a staunch conservative figure, made headlines in 2020 for her unwavering support of gun rights, staunch opposition to abortion, and strong Christian values. She also pushed for harsh penalties for offenders.
But even though Boebert gained significant popularity among MAGA supporters, her journey as a congresswoman since winning the election in 2020 has not been smooth sailing.
This week brought more bad news for Boebert as her son, Tyler, who is 18 years old, was detained by the police in Rifle, Colorado. He is facing 22 different charges, which include three charges of encouraging minors to break the law.
During the period when the detention was happening, Boebert's online profiles were heavily criticizing President Joe Biden's 'crime family' as 'the most corrupt family in the entire American past.'
This is the most recent controversy surrounding the politician, who has been in the spotlight for numerous incidents including accusations of physically assaulting her former spouse, claims of brandishing a firearm at an Obama-backing staff member, and attempting to establish a connection with a WWE celebrity as her biological father.
Neighbor Issues, Reckless Driving, And Underage Drinking
Boebert faced charges in the past for driving recklessly and using a vehicle that was not safe. These charges came after her truck flipped into a ditch in Garfield County, Colorado, back in 2016. However, her legal issues continued as she was taken into custody and placed in jail in 2017 when she failed to show up for her scheduled court appearance. A photo of her during this arrest has since been released to the public.
In the past, Boebert has encountered law enforcement officers on multiple occasions, which were notable.
According to the Denver Post in 2020, Boebert's first run-in with the law occurred in 2010 when her neighbor, Michele Soet, claimed that Boebert had been harassing her and her spouse.
When Boebert was 23 years old, she was charged with the accusation of endangering Soet's dogs by letting her pit bulls roam around without any restriction. Later on, in response to receiving a modest fine, the current congresswoman messaged Soet with the following words: 'You have affected my children's livelihood negatively.'
Boebert got arrested during a music festival in Colorado back in 2015. At that time, she was 28 years old. While the festival was going on, she showed a group of teenagers, who were also arrested for drinking while underage, how to escape from the police.
As per the report, Boebert endeavored to avoid the officers by moving her body while shouting that her detention was going against the constitution. She also claimed that she was acquainted with some people at Fox News.
Subsequently, she was taken into custody for her failure to attend two court hearings related to the accusation. However, the charges were eventually dismissed.
During the year of 2017, Boebert was incarcerated due to her disobeying an arrest warrant for engaging in reckless driving. Originally from Florida, she was detained for a total of one hour and forty minutes before acquiring bond and then admitted guilt for her charges.
The officer who supervised her detention in the correctional facility showed support for her candidacy for Congress at a later time.
In 2020, Sheriff Lou Vallario shared with the Post that he has collaborated with law enforcement personnel and two sheriffs who had been arrested during their younger years. Despite making some poor choices in the past, these individuals evolved into respectable people and exceptional leaders, according to Sheriff Vallario.
Man Aims Gun At Obama Fan Chef In 2014
An ex-worker has alleged that Lauren Boebert, a Republican congresswoman, aimed a gun that was loaded at him while he was working at her Shooters Grill restaurant situated in Rifle, Colorado.
In 2022, a former employee of Boebert shared exclusively with DailyMail.com that she once aimed a gun at a restaurant worker who showed support for Barack Obama. The gun was loaded and she did it in a mocking manner.
The unsettling event occurred in Shooters Grill's kitchen, where Boebert and her husband worked at their restaurant in Rifle, Colorado.
In 2013, Boebert inaugurated her restaurant featuring a theme centered on firearms.
Shooters has numerous signs posted around its walls and windows, all of which promote the idea of customers bringing guns inside the establishment. The servers present in the restaurant carry guns in their holsters, making them easily visible to everyone.
The ex-staff member, who wished to remain unidentified, shared with DailyMail.com: 'I was at the cooking station in the rear while customers were present in the dining area.
I became alert when I heard her shout "Hey" and call out my name. Swiftly, I pivoted to face her and noticed that she had her usual .380 black gun directed towards me. She began laughing uproariously.
The ex-sister-in-law of Boebert, Tori Hooper, who was once married to Boebert's brother Benjamin Bentz, found herself in a difficult situation when the Jeep ATV she was riding in started to spiral down a steep slope and crashed into a rocky surface in Moab, Utah. This unfortunate incident occurred after Boebert decided to leave the driver's seat.
Back in June 2022, only DailyMail.com had the scoop that Boebert had abandoned the driver's position of a Jeep ATV, while her son and pet dog were still in the backseat. This caused her former sister-in-law to struggle while attempting to save the vehicle from a dangerous, rolling descent into a ravine, where it eventually collided with a rock wall in Moab, Utah.
A person who knows Boebert's family disclosed that she was driving an off-road vehicle a few months prior to winning a Republican primary. While driving, Boebert lost control of the vehicle and abandoned her family members to deal with the situation.
According to Ben Stout, the spokesperson for Boebert, instead of leaving the car voluntarily, the future congresswoman was forcibly removed from it.
Tori Hooper was 28 years old when she experienced severe injuries to her face and chest. This happened while she was married to Benjamin Bentz, who is Boebert's younger brother. Due to these injuries, Tori suffered from additional health problems in the following months.
However, sources have informed DailyMail.com that emergency services were never contacted via the 911 hotline.
The writer mentioned that the inexperienced politician pleaded with Hooper to keep quiet about the mishap, as it could have potentially been the dominant feature in the news leading up to the primary.
An undisclosed person revealed, "It was quite chaotic. Boebert exited the driving position, leaving Tori to panic and scream while her son and dog remained seated in the back."
Tori was unable to release her seatbelt, which led her to take hold of the steering wheel. This caused the vehicle to head straight towards a cliff. After crashing into a rocky wall, Tori's entire face was impacted and the situation was dire.
Boebert succeeded in winning the primary election for Colorado's third congressional district. Her victory was a significant surprise as she defeated current congressman Scott Tipton by a margin of nine percentage points, as analysts described it.
"Jihad Squad" Joke In September 2021
a threatening voicemail where an individual referred to her using a derogatory term that targets her race and gender. The voicemail contained vile language and Omar played it for all to hear by holding up her mobile phone. She expressed deep concern regarding the rising level of hate speech and bigotry in society.
For a while now, Boebert has frequently been in disagreement with The Squad, a group of elected officials who lean towards liberal ideologies.
CNN discovered a joke made by Boebert at a Conservative Party dinner in Staten Island, New York in September of 2021.
During a speaking engagement, Boebert shared an anecdote about a new team member who entered an elevator in the Capitol and coincidentally shared the space with Ilhan Omar.
"There were only three of us present, and when I glanced in their direction, I made an observation, 'Oh, the Jihad Squad is here.'"
The corners of Boebert's mouth turned upwards as the space filled with the sound of chuckles and clapping.
She went on to say, 'I must mention that she is not carrying a backpack and she did not drop anything and run away, so it's all good.'
Within that same video, Boebert referred to Omar and Representative Rashida Tlaib, who also practices the Muslim faith, as 'wicked' and ill-hearted.'
Omar gave a speech after the incident and acknowledged that this was not the first time something like this has happened. Back in May, she made comments about her colleagues and herself being compared to politicians with suicide belts.
Omar went on to say that the person in question suggested that congresswoman Tlaib and herself should register as foreign agents, using a discriminatory idea that assumes they have loyalty to a foreign nation.
Tlaib and Congressman Andre Carson, who also follows Islam, were standing beside her.
"Gun-themed Christmas Card Following School Shooting In 2021"
Ocasio-Cortez criticized Boebert over a picture she posted on social media, stating: 'Can you remind me where Jesus encouraged using his birthday celebration as an opportunity to display weapons and push a political agenda?'
In 2021, Boebert faced widespread ridicule when she created a holiday card featuring her family posing with guns.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who holds a position in the Democratic party, strongly criticized Boebert due to the photograph.
She spoke out strongly, criticizing Boebert's Christmas photo. Numerous political analysts and advocates characterized the image as "disgusting" because it was shared only a few days after four teenagers were tragically killed in a school shooting in Michigan.
Boebert shared a picture on social media featuring her four kids and herself standing in front of a decorated Christmas tree while holding semi-automatic guns.
Ocasio-Cortez criticized Boebert's photo and posted a message on Twitter. She questioned where in the Bible Jesus Christ said it was acceptable to use weapons during Christmas celebrations for political purposes.
It's amusing to see how Republicans have focused on spreading cultural panic about the eradication of the Christmas festivities and its significance, but they are successfully carrying it out themselves.
Tyler and his girlfriend have become parents, but they are not married yet.
MAGA Feud With Marjorie Greene- January 2023
Representative Greene and Boebert were present at a press conference held by the House Freedom Caucus in 2021.
You might assume that MAGA conservative Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Boebert, who share similar views, would have a strong bond, but unfortunately, they do not have a good relationship.
During the Speaker election in January 2023, there was an alleged confrontation between Greene and Boebert in the women's restroom near the House floor. It is said that they were on the verge of shouting at each other because of Boebert's stance against Kevin McCarthy.
Their hostility towards one another became public knowledge during the summer when they engaged in a heated argument on the floor of the House.
Greene alleged that Boebert had plagiarized her concerning a proposition to impeach President Biden. It was reported that Greene directly referred to Boebert as a disrespectful term.
Back in April of 2022, Politico was the initial source to disclose that Representative Boebert, who is presently 36 years old, really dislikes being associated with her peer from Georgia.
During that particular year, there was a report that the duo had to be physically pulled apart at a House Freedom Caucus gathering because they were on the verge of fighting.
Lately, Greene expressed disapproval towards Boebert's choice to change electoral districts.
In an interview with The Hill, Greene expressed her observation that the person in question ranked fifth in the straw poll held over the weekend. According to her, it is a matter of worry for this person, and she believes that the primary is significant since there are quite a few impressive contenders.
According to Greene, we have to wait and see what unfolds with the surveys in the Colorado region but she has no intentions of participating in the election at this point in time.
Greene believes that Boebert needs to work hard and prove herself to gain the support of the people.
Third Son Conceived As Birth Control Was Too Costly, Revealed In May 2023
During a recent committee hearing, Rep. Lauren Boebert shared that she became pregnant with her third child because she couldn't afford to purchase her birth control. She explained that the cost was too high for her to pay.
In 2023, Boebert made a shocking revelation during a committee hearing: she became pregnant with her third child because she couldn't afford her birth control and didn't pick it up.
During a hearing held by the House Oversight Committee, the main subject of discussion was the high cost of prescription drugs and the focus was directed towards pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs). These PBMs act as mediators between prescription drug manufacturers and health insurance providers.
I have an amusing anecdote to tell, which might cause my employees to have a conversation with me afterwards. Once, I forgot to pick up my medication from a pharmacy. It happened when I went there to buy some contraception. This is what Boebert, who is from Colorado and belongs to the Republican Party, explained during the hearing.
I stood by the cashier's desk ready to make the payment. To my surprise, the cost was exorbitant. I uttered in disbelief, "Is this medication for three or six months?" The cashier replied, "No, ma'am. It's only for a month." I couldn't believe it and exclaimed, "It's more economical to have a child!" I left the medication at the counter and ended up having my third son, Kaydon Boebert.
Therefore, I must say that it ended up being a positive experience, although I personally felt the difficulty during challenging times.
Kaydon is the offspring of Boebert and is currently 13 years old. Boebert additionally has three more children, Tyler aged 18, Brody aged 16 and Roman aged 10.
"Grandmother At 36: Unexpected Joy In June 2023"
Boebert appears in a photograph alongside her son Tyler, who is 17 years old and is currently going to be a father with his girlfriend.
The previous year, Boebert confidently justified her son Tyler's decision to have a child with his girlfriend who was only 17 years old, even though they weren't married.
In 2023, she made an exciting announcement at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) that she would be a grandmother before turning 36.
In the 'Rubin Report', Dave Rubin questioned the outspoken conservative about whether her notions were questioned when her eldest child Tyler, out of four sons, impregnated his girlfriend.
She stated that she is a follower of Christianity and there are certain principles that they try to adhere to, although they are not flawless in doing so. She believes that while scrutinizing the Bible's teachings about what is moral and immoral is possible, it is crucial to have the desire to please God at the core of one's values.
She also mentioned that she and her child would discuss 'recovery and how to progress.'
During CPAC, Boebert announced to a group of conservative attendees that she is a mother to four sons and will soon become a "gigi" to her new grandson in the upcoming month of April. This was the first time she publicly revealed this information.
During the event, she took the opportunity to commend teenage mothers who choose not to undergo abortion.
She informed Rubin that her son would be the third teenager in a row in her family to become a parent.
When I was born, my mom was just 18 years old. And when I had my own son Tyler, I was also 18. Incredibly, Tyler has now reached the same age I was when I gave birth to him. He recently made a comment about how having a child at 18 runs in the family. I quickly corrected him and explained that it isn't hereditary. Nevertheless, I am immensely proud of Tyler and his partner for making responsible choices. They could have gone down a different path, but instead, they chose to bring a new life into the world.
Tyler's partner has given birth, but they are still not married.
WWE Star Denies Fatherhood In DNA Test, June 2023
During the 80s and 90s, Stan Lane rose to fame with the National Wrestling Alliance. Later on, he made a switch to WWE and mainly served as an announcer.
During the month of June, ex-member of the WWE named Stan Lane underwent another DNA examination to confirm that he is not the biological father of Boebert.
For a while now, Shawn Roberts Bentz, the mother, has been claiming that the ex-wrestler had fathered her daughter during a brief romantic encounter in the 1980s.
In 1990, Lane, who was 69 years old at the time, was required by the court to undergo a paternity test. The test confirmed that he was not the biological father of Boebert.
However, concerns about whether it was authentic arose when the individual at the laboratory who extracted his blood sample was found guilty of accepting a bribe to exchange vials in a different instance, and as a result, Bentz requested an investigation into Lane.
In the end, he consented to undergo a second examination in the month of May. The outcome of this test demonstrated that Rep. Boebert, who is 36 years old, was not his offspring.
After Lane retired from wrestling, he became an announcer for powerboat racing. He gave Boebert his DNA sample to alleviate any worries she may have had.
The findings were released on May 11 and demonstrated that he was not her natural dad.
He confirmed the news by releasing a statement through his close friend to the wrestling news website PWInsider.com.
After reviewing the results together, Lauren and I came to the conclusion that this issue has been resolved. I received an apology from both Lauren and her mother, which I accepted.
This circumstance and the many deceitful allegations directed towards me throughout time has caused a great deal of pressure for myself as well as my loved ones.
I think that my reputation, which was previously positive, has been damaged tremendously. This has also affected me and other individuals who are part of my close group.
Representative Lauren Boebert remarked that the discoveries made through DNA testing have given a fresh perspective to the song "Who's Your Daddy" by Toby Keith.
She accepted the outcomes and informed the Daily Beast: 'I validate that Stan Lane is not my biological dad'.
To be honest, I have never openly declared him as my dad in front of the public, however, it is a fact that the accusation is circulating around.

The couple, whose identity has not been disclosed, was spotted leaving the hotel in a hurry, looking slightly flustered and trying to keep a low profile. Boebert, who is 36 years old, and her companion moved swiftly through the lobby of the hotel and left through the main entrance, attempting to evade the photographers who were congregating in the vicinity. The pair, whose names have not been revealed, were seen departing the hotel in haste, appearing somewhat disconcerted and striving to maintain a low profile.
One of the most well-known events associated with Boebert involved her being ejected from a theater in Denver due to her being overly affectionate with her companion.
Boebert was caught on camera getting upset with theater employees after being kicked out of a Beetlejuice show for singing along. Staff members said that she also used a vaporizer and took pictures during the performance.
Video recordings display Boebert, dressed in a form-fitting, revealing gold gown and elevated shoes, creating a commotion while being instructed to exit the premises with an attractive unidentified gentleman.
You can spot her taking a self-portrait while departing from the auditorium. She displays her frustration towards the employees by snarling at them while being guided across the foyer.
As per The Denver Post, the legislator once exclaimed 'Do you recognize me?' Afterward, Boebert and her well-dressed companion were captured on video strolling away on the deserted streets of Mile High City during the night.
A few weeks afterwards, Boebert was alleged to have utilized campaign finances to attend a cycling competition where her companion from that evening, Quinn Gallagher, who is a bar proprietor in Aspen, was participating.
Son Accuses Father Of Domestic Abuse - Jan 2024
According to an arrest warrant, Jayson, who was previously married to Lauren Boebert, was taken into custody on Tuesday for purportedly assaulting their oldest child during a disagreement concerning laundry. One of his two police mug shots can be viewed here, with the Silt Police Department having taken this particular photograph.
A few days before the restaurant incident, the Boebert family was shaken by another claim of domestic violence, this time concerning Jayson and their son.
Deputy Cid Ramirez of the Garfield County Sheriff's office wrote that Tyler reported being pushed by Jayson, who placed his hand on Tyler's throat/neck area and pushed him back.
Ramirez said that Tyler got angry at that moment and as a result, the situation turned into a fight between him and Jayson.
According to reports, the conflict between the father and son became more intense. The man who is a father of four is said to have forcefully inserted his thumb into Tyler's mouth.
According to the Colorado police officer, the intensity of the move caused the adolescent to be afraid that his tooth was going to be extracted by his father.
During the difficult moments, Ramirez reported that Tyler was able to seize his mobile device and make a call to his mother. Tyler had become a father to a baby boy with his teenage girlfriend last year, transforming his mother into a grandmother.
The person who is very passionate about their beliefs supposedly replied by urging the young male to contact the police, who eventually showed up at the location at around 1am on Tuesday.
When they got there, officers from The Silt Police Department were already there because of the reported fight at Miner's Claim Restaurant a few days ago.
Ex-Husband Accused Of Attack
. Lauren and Jayson got married eleven years ago, in 2005 after meeting each other at McDonald's when Lauren was a teenager of 16 and Jayson was 22.
In January of 2021, Boebert took a photo with her ex-spouse, Jayson, at the U.S. Capitol in Washington.
At the start of 2024, Boebert claimed that she did not punch her former partner in the face two times after he allegedly made inappropriate advances at her inside a restaurant situated within her political jurisdiction.
She acknowledged that she placed her hand on Jayson Boebert's face to stop him from approaching her, which prompted her to dial 911. The two got married in 2005 but parted ways in 2023, and they have four sons together.
While enjoying a meal at Miner's Claim in Silt, she was surprised by Jayson's appearance. He came to express his regrets over their previous disagreement which happened during her visit to his home to retrieve their kids.
The aide of the ex-wife reported to the Daily Beast that the man supposedly displayed disrespectful behavior, including behaving in a lewd manner. The man then reportedly attempted to seize his ex-wife by making a gesture towards her.
According to the assistant, the action was forceful, not affectionate. Thereafter, Lauren attempted to hold him off and obstructed him by covering his face with her hand.
In a written declaration, Lauren Boebert stated that this is a regrettable circumstance that continues to worsen, thus motivating her relocation.
I did not hit Jayson on the face and there was no arrest made. I am planning to talk to my attorney regarding the inaccurate accusations made by him about me and will consider every available legal course.
Son's Crime Spree Arrest In Feb 2024
The Republican representative, Lauren Boebert, expressed her anger towards the 'Biden crime family' a few hours after her son, aged 18, was apprehended for 22 felonies.
On Wednesday afternoon, Tyler Boebert, a man who is a parent to a child, was detained by authorities in Rifle, a town located within the congressional district of his mother. The detention occurred at approximately 2:30 pm.
At 4:45pm CT on the day her son was arrested, the Republican legislator posted on her Instagram that the Biden family would be remembered as the most dishonest family in the history of the United States.
It is doubtful that Boebert had knowledge of her oldest child's arrest for multiple charges which include four counts of possessing financial devices illegally, three instances of influencing a minor to engage in delinquent behavior, and three counts of stealing less than $300 worth of items.
There are some additional accusations that cover a variety of offenses. These include four serious allegations related to having someone else's identification, one serious allegation of conspiring to commit a serious crime, and over 15 minor charges.
