GOP infighting erupts as Lauren Boebert slams ‘unnamed’ staffers over ‘backroom deal’

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) claimed on Wednesday that she was betrayed by her own Republican Party staffers in a “backroom deal.”

Boebert didn’t mince words against the GOP and told TMZ that she missed a vote on the National Defense Authorization Act. She said that “unnamed GOP staffers lied to her” about when the annual defense policy bill would be voted on — but that wasn’t the only problem she was facing.

She also mentioned how her face was still settling after her Botox treatment and that she was “talking out of the side of her mouth like a damn politician” because of it.

“LB says she objected to a ‘tech swap’ between the U.S. and Israel and wanted the provision stripped from the bill,” according to TMZ. “She claims she was still negotiating as voting continued and Republican staffers told her they’d keep the vote open for her.”

But then the vote closed, and the bill passed.
