Lauren Boebert Responds to Trump’s Threat to Primary Her

Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert has responded to President Donald Trump’s criticism of her on Truth Social for campaigning alongside Rep. Thomas Massie.

In his Truth Social post, the president threatened to withdraw his endorsement of her in Colorado’s 4th Congressional District.

Trump’s post came after Boebert joined Massie for campaign events in Kentucky on Saturday.

In the message, Trump called Boebert a “Carpetbagger” for switching districts, labeled her “weak-minded,” and described Massie as the “Worst ‘Republican’ Congressman in the History of our Country.”

Trump explicitly warned that he might pull his previous endorsement and back a primary challenger against her if a strong alternative steps forward.

The post read in full:

“Is anyone interested in running against Weak Minded Lauren Boebert in Colorado’s Fourth Congressional District? You remember Lauren moved to the District when it became obvious that she couldn’t win in her original Congressional District (The Third!) — A Carpetbagger, indeed! Boebert is campaigning for the Worst ‘Republican’ Congressman in the History of our Country, Thomas Massie, of the Great Commonwealth of Kentucky, and anybody who can be that dumb deserves a good Primary fight! Even though I long ago endorsed Boebert, if the right person came along, it would be my Honor to withdraw that Endorsement, and endorse a good and proper alternative. Just let me know, or announce your Candidacy, and I will be there for you!”

Boebert addressed the attack directly on X, while reaffirming her commitment to the MAGA movement.

Yes, I saw the President’s post.

No, I’m not mad or offended. I knew the risks when I agreed to stand by my friend Thomas Massie.

I was, and will be, America First, America Always, and MAGA.

Onward

“Yes, I saw the President’s post. No, I’m not mad or offended. I knew the risks when I agreed to stand by my friend Thomas Massie. I was, and will be, America First, America Always, and MAGA. Onward,” Boebert wrote, adding an American flag emoji to the end.

The official filing deadline for major-party candidates to appear on the June 30 primary ballot was March 18.

That deadline has already passed by nearly two months.

Massie’s primary is this Tuesday.
