Rep. Lauren Boebert's (R-CO) appearance at Donald Trump's hush money trial in Manhattan last week was trashed by a Colorado columnist who took the embattled Republican lawmaker to task for spending her time in Congress sucking up to the equally embattled former president.
In his column for the Colorado Sun, Mike Litwin lit up the lawmaker and pointed out that family values-touting Boebert felt it was far more important to support Trump who is dealing with the fall-out of having an affair with an adult film star than it was to show up for a recent court hearing for her son Tyler, who is facing criminal charges of his own back home.
Getting right into it, Litwin began, "Lauren Boebert, the carpetbagging canoodler, may be trying to switch congressional districts — from the GOP-leaning 3rd to the GOP-dominant 4th — to save her phony baloney job, but whatever district she’s in, she’s still the same old Boebert."

Calling her appearance with GOP lawmakers like Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) outside the Manhattan courtroom "performance art," the columnist claimed her decision to leave D.C. to grandstand before reporters earned her a "front row seat" at the trial and an opportunity to preen for the cameras.
Reporting that Boebert used her time in the spotlight to attack Judge Juan Merchan's daughter, Litwin gave the following review of her comments: "Disgusting? Of course. Sycophantic? Sure. Hypocritical? Definitely."
"You may remember how Boebert has pleaded for privacy for her family amid their many travails. You may remember, too, how that hasn’t stopped her from tweeting about the so-called 'Biden Crime Family' even as her son Tyler was being arrested in Rifle," he wrote before adding, "Is it fair to go after Boebert for her parenting efforts? Normally, I would say no. But we know what Boebert would do if it were, say, a judge’s daughter who had been arrested. We know what she says about a daughter who hasn’t done a single thing wrong."
Pointing to Boeberts comments that a sleeping Trump in court looks "pretty," the columnist asserted, "What doesn’t look so pretty are the MAGA grovelers going after the spirit, if not the law, of the gag order. I’m sure that Trump, when he’s awake anyway, must be watching."
