Rep. Lauren Boebert said she was not offended by President Donald Trump’s criticism after she appeared at campaign events with Rep. Thomas Massie. Trump also said he might withdraw his endorsement of Boebert and back a primary challenger.
Boebert attended two campaign events with Massie in his Kentucky district. Trump responded by criticizing her support for Massie and inviting someone to challenge her in Colorado’s Fourth Congressional District, saying he might withdraw his earlier endorsement.
Boebert later wrote on X that she had seen Trump’s post, was not mad or offended, and had known the risks of standing by Massie. She reaffirmed her support for “America First” and “MAGA.”
