Colorado Representative Lauren Boebert made a bizarre claim about how men should be "terrified" following the $83.3 million judgment against former Republican President Donald Trump for defaming advice columnist E. Jean Carroll, whom he sexually assaulted.
In May 2023, a New York jury found that Trump was liable for sexually assaulting and defaming Carroll after she filed a federal lawsuit against him and awarded Trump to pay her $5 million.
On Friday, January 26, 2024, a second defamation trial concluded with the anonymous nine-person jury awarding Carroll $18.3 million in compensatory damages and $65 million in punitive damages.
Boebert took to X (formerly Twitter) and expressed her dismay.
"An $83,000,000 j[udgment] given to a woman who can’t even tell you the date or time she encountered President Trump."
"The precedent this sets for men in this country is [absolutely] terrifying."
The distressed conspiracy theorist continued:
"It is truly unbelievable how weaponized our system of 'justice' has become."
Social media users thought Boebert's statement making the defamation case about gender was rich considering her ex-husband's history of sexual misconduct.
Users also pointed to Boebert's own public misconduct for which she was forcibly ejected from a musical performance of Beetlejuice after being caught groping her boyfriend in a theater packed with family audiences.
Users were confounded as to why anyone would willfully support a former President who is embroiled in several legal battles, remains a perpetual liar, and is notorious for an excessive amount of allegations, many of which are tied to instances of misconduct and sexual assault.
@laurenboebert Bobo, you don\u2019t know what you\u2019re talking about (pretty par for the course)\u2026& one would think you as a woman would be cheering that sexual predators are being held to account.\n\nAnd btw\u2026I was sexually assaulted over 30 years (age 10) & I can\u2019t remember the time or date\u2026(no one\u2026— (@)
In addition to being a staunch Trump ally who supported his false claims of a stolen 2020 election, the gun-toting, self-described Christian Congresswoman is a vocal opponent of green energy, pandemic mandates, abortion, gender-affirming surgery for minors, and same-sex marriage.
In December, she announced she was switching congressional districts likely to avoid a possible rematch with Democratic challenger Adam Frisch, who was defeated by Boebert by a narrow margin in the 2022 midterm elections.
Frisch announced he was running to unseat Boebert "and restore dignity to #CO03 representation" in November.
Boebert will be running in the crowded Republican primary to succeed retiring GOP Representative Ken Buck in eastern Colorado's 4th congressional district.
