Lauren Boebert sure transformed herself - from blonde cowgirl to Sarah Palin v. 2.0. Wonder who groomed her for her congressional run?

"According to two Pueblo retired military veterans who formed a PAC opposing Boebert’s candidacy, she didn’t actually get her GED degree until May of this year, about a month before the June primaries and five months after entering the race." 2/ https://www.gjsentinel.com/news/western_colorado/boeberts-democratic-upbringing-questioned/article_599f9890-f867-11ea-a66d-836e16473c98.html
And, um, she gave birth to one of her kids in 2009 in her husband's work truck. 3/ https://www.vaildaily.com/news/silt-couple-discovers-that-childbirth-can-be-one-wild-ride/
I think this was her "aha" moment, when she decided she liked to be in the spotlight - Sept 23, 2019 - when she confronted Beto O'Rourke at his campaign stop in Aurora, CO. Starts at :47. 4/
But before then, in 2015, Boebert decided to open up a restaurant in a country club. The restaurant later failed. Here she sports an entirely different look - who is the real Lauren? 5/ https://www.postindependent.com/rifle/shooters-makes-transition-from-guns-to-golf-clubs/
One thing seems to have remained constant: Lauren doesn't seem to think rules or laws apply to her, personally. "The Denver Post reported that eight liens totaling about $19,000 have been filed against Shooters Grill in the past four years." 6/ http://www.realvail.com/more-evidence-of-boeberts-legal-troubles-emerges/a9185/
But hey. Looks shouldn't matter. People evolve, change their style. Her views are consistent: pugnaciously anti-gov & pro 2A. She's thirsty to be right-wing AOC. Can she read a room? Has she overreached? Results of investigation re: recon tours pre-Jan 6th attack will tell. 7/
Rep. Steve Cohen tells Jake Tapper that Lauren Boebert did, indeed, lead a tour of the Capitol building the day before the attack. 8/ https://twitter.com/JesseDamiani/status/1351197878987927552?s=20
Correction - Cohen told Jim Sciutto on air on CNN that Boebert led a Capital tour "sometime after the 3rd and before the 6th", and here's the clip: 9/ https://twitter.com/JesseDamiani/status/1351203913102467078?s=20
Here's a really good thread about Boebert from @WeTheAngry that fills in a lot of details. 10/ https://twitter.com/WeTheAngry/status/1348325261381660680?s=20
