Lauren Boebert cries 'harassment' after Democrat calls her 'rancid on the inside'
Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) objected on Monday after a former Colorado state representative said she was "rancid on the inside."
In a tweet on Sunday, Colorado Democratic National Committee member Joe Salazar, a former state lawmaker, blasted Boebert over a photo she posted.
"I really don't care if @laurenboebert has makeup on or doesn't," Salazar wrote. "I don't care if she's well educated or not."
"She is rancid inside and her poison pollutes our society. She needs to be replaced," he continued.
Salazar added a plug for Boebert's potential Democratic opponent, Adam Frisch.
"The misogyny of calling a woman 'rancid' for taking a selfie isn't lost on me," Boebert complained on Monday. "Sadly, this is the harassment so many conservative women go through every day for simply existing."
It was not clear if Boebert had reported the tweet for alleged harassment.
