Rep. Lauren Boebert releases statement after son is arrested in Rifle

Representative Lauren Boebert released a statement Wednesday afternoon about the arrest of her son related to an alleged string of thefts and vehicle trespasses:

"I love my son Tyler, who has been through some very difficult public challenges for a young man and the subject of attention that he didn’t ask for. It breaks my heart to see my child struggling and, in this situation, especially when he has been provided multiple opportunities to get his life on track.

WestenSlopeNow spoke to one of the alleged victims who says Tyler Boebert broke into her car and used her credit cards before the arrest. Tyler Boebert is set to appear in court in mid-April.

As boobert still terrorizing Hunter, her apology seems insincere and bs. She never took responsibility for some of her crimes.

The sex video that he taped, he posted on the internet is what I have read. She was underage and was one of the minors that was in his gang. Evidently the girl's stepmother reported it. So that makes it two underage girls that he has had sex with, one is the mother of his child. You know, the one who made Lauren a "Mimi". At age 36. How wonderful to show such upright and moral christian evangelical traits! GOP, the party of family values. Yeah, riiiight.

If only she held the same view about being held accountable for citizen Trump.

[pumkinpie]

I heard the minor mentioned was 16 and her son made a sex tape with her and then, sent the tape around for others to see. Wouldn't he be a part of a crime family at this point?

[rustyminer]

There better be a House investigation. Where's Comer and Jordan?

Do we have any obscene pictures for MTG to show the world?

[lyarnes]

When will the republicans start their harassing inquiries and baseless hearings into her son’s behaviour?

[evansuarez]

The Christian family values are sure showing

[Freakscene]

She's blaming Covid lockdown for her sons 'problems'. I can totally understand that. If I was stuck at home with her for weeks on end, I'd be severely fucked up too!

[bobgreenwald]

She says her son didn't ask for the attention he is getting. But being a criminal and getting arrested is kind of like "just asking for it".

[nkttztl]

Lets not forget how his MOM was in the movie theater setting the example for adulthood. Good job mom.

[TheMotz]

It will be great to see this woman booted out of Congress.

[Jeff-usdr]

Oh and he stole from a Hispanic woman because of course he did.

[davidberglund]

Did I hear right? 22 counts and his bail was 1200 dollars.

[qpwodkgh]

Christian family values is clearly alive in America, on display for the entire world to see.

[fishnwiz]

Congress must IMMEDIATELY start a congressional investigation into Boeberts Son as well as her.

[Avi_Z.]

Such good family values these republicans have!! 🤦🏻‍♀️

[emilys]

She needs to hold a mirror up to herself if she wants to see where a bulk of the problems stem from

[wildbushdog]

a bond for 1200 dollars and anyone else would have had a much higher bond

[doc-vglq]

her and Palin preaching family values and condemning people while having major issues in their own houses. it's so Republican.

[wpbake]

"I have told him many times, do as I say, not as I do in public theaters.
