“The uni-party is trying to do everything that they can to stop my candidacy to rig the election in Colorado. And, you know, this is breaking news as of yesterday. Ken Buck’s announcement yesterday was a gift to the uni-party.
“The establishment concocted a swampy backroom deal to try to rig an election. An election that I’m winning by 25 points, forcing an unnecessary special election. When? The same day as the primary election in Colorado.
“And this will confuse voters, and it will result in a lame-duck congressman on day one and leave the Fourth District with no representation for more than three months. This is absolutely unacceptable. I believe that this is selfish.” – Lauren Boebert.

If Buck wanted to screw over Boebert, this is probably the one thing he could do—and it’ll be devastatingly effective, because she loses either way.
If she gets the nomination and wins the special, she’ll either have to resign, causing another special, or delay taking office. https://t.co/Bmvv4kxSLu

I cannot overstate how funny it is that Buck appeared to engineer his resignation in a way that deliberately makes it next to impossible for Lauren Boebert to return to Congress next year. This is the unique combination of genius and pettiness in American politics that i live for https://t.co/7APmX0tZe4

ruining both Mike Johnson’s and Lauren Boebert’s days, with the added bonus of not having to work with these lunatics anymore, is a move I can only respect https://t.co/ruxYwfYy3q
