Rep. Lauren Boebert’s 18-year-old son, Tyler Boebert, was arrested on Tuesday afternoon and is facing 22 charges, including several felony charges relating to a string of crimes in her Colorado district.
According to a Facebook post by the Rifle Police Department, the 18-year-old Boebert was arrested after a “recent string of vehicle trespass and property thefts” in Rifle, a town in Colorado’s 3rd congressional district.
According to Garfield County Jail’s records, the younger Boebert is facing four counts of criminal possession of a financial device, four counts of criminal possession of ID documents, and a count of conspiracy to commit a felony.
He’s also charged with four misdemeanor counts of ID theft, three misdemeanor counts of first-degree criminal trespass, and three misdemeanor counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
In addition, he’s also charged with three counts of the petty offense of theft of less than $300.
Boebert is a terrible legislator, but her kids’ behavior and life choices have little to do with the record and views by which her fitness to represent should be judged.
There are so many good reasons not to vote for her. It validates Republican attacks on Hunter Biden as “how the game is played.”
The least we can do is be a bit more nuanced about how we joke about it.
I think the big difference is that this kid is barely 18, and probably still lives at home. That means it was all happening under her roof.
In comparison, Hunter has been an adult for decades.
Yes but we can see what sort of people she and her family are by how they behave. These children almost certainly had no good role models, no mentors, and no real future to speak of. They were ejected from her body and left to fend for themselves.
Remember, the GOP wants EVERYONE to live like her and her family. So, yes, we can look at what she does at home and make some judgements on that.
