CO-03: Boebert lied about mother's political affiliation
Lauren Boebert, the Republican candidate for the 3rd Congressional District, may not have grown up in the downtrodden Democratic household that she’s so often been claiming.
The GOP upstart who shocked the district, state and nation when she defeated five-term incumbent U.S. Rep. Scott Tipton in June’s primary, has often claimed her mother, Shawn Elaine Roberts — who also goes by the name of Shawn Bentz or Shawna Roberts-Bentz — was a Democrat living on government welfare, saying she grew up relying too heavily on government.
Her oft-repeated story is that after moving from a liberal area — Denver and Aurora — to a highly conservative one in Garfield County, she saw a different way to live her life, and developed an appreciation for the conservative ideals of liberty and personal responsibilityBut a background check on Boebert and her mother’s voter registrations don’t back that up.
According to the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office, Roberts first registered to vote in Colorado as a Republican in 2001, when Boebert was 14. Those records show that Roberts remained a Republican until changing to unaffiliated in 2013 and then to Democrat in 2015, when Boebert was in her mid- to late 20s and well out of her mother’s house, married and with children of her own.
Roberts now is registered as a Republican, changing her affiliation again earlier this year.
