Lauren Boebert blames ‘Hollywood elites’ for decision to switch districts

Colorado Republican ducks rematch for House seat after Barbra Streisand and Ryan Reynolds chip in 0.03% of rival’s war chest

The far-right Republican congresswoman Lauren Boebert has blamed “Hollywood elites” including singer Barbra Streisand and actor Ryan Reynolds for her decision to switch districts ahead of her 2024 re-election campaign.

In an interview on Steve Bannon’s War Room podcast over the weekend, Boebert alluded to how her Democratic opponent Adam Frisch’s campaign had received a $1,000 donation from Streisand in April and a $500 contribution from Reynolds in March.
