Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) put out a fundraising email for her reelection campaign this week, straight up asking, “Are aliens real?!”
Boebert, who was once one of the House GOP’s most attention-grabbing and controversial members, has consistently tackled the issue of UFOs in recent months, including asking during a congressional hearing about the possibility of underwater alien bases.
During a House Oversight Committee hearing last November, Boebert asked the witnesses, “There are rumors that have come up to the hill of a secretive project within the Department of Defense involving the manipulation of human genetics with what is described as non-human genetic material, potentially for the enhancement of human capabilities, hybrids. Are any of you familiar with that, yes or no?”
After all of the experts said “no” to Boebert’s question, she later followed up by asking, “And so are there any accounts of UAP emerging from or submerging into our water which could indicate a base or presence beneath the ocean’s surface?”
Boebert is now hoping her focus on the topic will earn her campaign donations and new voters. Boebert’s Monday email blast read:
For decades, our government has shrouded the truth about UFOs in a veil of secrecy.
Strange crafts have been spotted soaring through our skies, defying the laws of physics, and yet the bureaucrats in Washington act like we’re too NAIVE to handle the facts.
They tell us we’re crazy like we can’t see these things flying through the air with our own eyes.
I SAY ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! The American people aren’t children to be spoon-fed half-truths or dismissed with vague excuses. We deserve to know what’s really going on up there.
The email blast also added a link to donate and another that asked, “Are aliens real?!”
FOX31 Denver covered Boebert’s new campaign strategy and asked FOX31 Democratic analyst Andy Boian to weigh in on the tactic.
“This is almost a cry for help in politics, to be honest,” Boian told the outlet, adding, “So I’m not really sure why this would go out to conservatives in her district,” Boian said. “And she may raise a few thousand dollars, but she’s also going to get a lot of really weird looks.”
On the other hand, Boebert’s campaign team told FOX31 that the digital campaign is “performing extremely well.”
