Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) tore into the journalist behind explosive allegations that she had sexual relationships with congressional staffers, accusing the media of falling for a “salacious BS attack” and telling reporters they had “crossed a line.”
The Republican posted a blistering video to X on Sunday after David Wheeler of American Muckrakers filed a complaint with the House Ethics Committee accusing her of relationships with three current or former senior aides. Boebert has flatly denied the allegations.
“Hey journalists, now that I’m finished with my more important task of the day, I have a few words for you,” she began, adding: “You all ran a smear and called it news. Some sloppy, desperate, obsessive hack stamps under oath on a fake filing so you’ll write penalty of perjury in the headline.”
She continued: “Yeah, that’s the whole freaking trick. It’s a scam and you fell for it. No member of Congress certified in writing that his salacious BS attack was made in good faith and warrants review as required by Ethics. And it’s evident that you didn’t even bother to look up House Ethics Committee rules that clearly state the committee can’t even accept a complaint filed inside 60 days of an election.”
House Ethics Committee procedures state that information submitted as a complaint by someone who is not a House member requires a member to certify in writing that it was submitted in good faith and warrants committee review. The rules also state that the committee “shall not accept” a complaint submitted within 60 days of an election in which the subject is a candidate.
“That’s right, ethics isn’t even allowed to accept this garbage,” Boebert said.
The complaint, filed on September 17, alleges Boebert had sexual relationships with Clarice Navarro, Raven Finegan, and Jeffrey Small and includes an allegation involving a roughly $200,000 payment after Navarro left Boebert’s office. Navarro has called allegations involving her “entirely false, defamatory, and beyond ridiculous.”
She then blasted other media outlets for being “more than willing” to report the claims while mocking that “nobody” in those newsrooms checked out the rule “before they put my team’s names in your stories. Their photos are everywhere now and they are under attack because of your laziness.”
Boebert argued that coverage had exposed her staff to abuse and accused newsrooms of failing to scrutinize Wheeler’s history of making allegations against her.
“I know that you’re more than willing to attack me and shame my household, but this is different and you crossed a line,” she said. “I hope you think about the impact that this could have on them and their families the next time you rush to print without doing a little bit of research. So while you sit back and think of how you can do your jobs better, I’m going to continue serving Colorado’s fourth district.”
This isn’t the first time Wheeler has made claims about Boebert based on anonymous sources, Colorado Times Recorder reported, pointing to a 2022 claim in which he said Boebert had worked as a paid escort.
“I hate to spoil the fan fiction, but y’all need to do better,” Boebert concluded. “To the rest of y’ all, no, I’m not hiring.”
