Lauren Boebert is one of the new breed of conservatives who won’t play the media’s games.

Members of the press are used to RINO pushovers. 

And the left-wing media tried to ambush Lauren Boebert and learned one painful lesson.

Colorado media whines about Lauren Boebert fighting back

Until former President Donald Trump came along the media was used to dealing with RINO pushovers like Mitt Romney who accepted the premise of Democrat Party talking points as questions and acted like opposing the Left was something to be ashamed of.

Trump changed all that.

Representative Lauren Boebert (R-CO) drives her local media crazy because she won’t roll over and concede that the press’s left-wing bias is reality.

Denver Post opinion editor Matt Schrader cried over Boebert plowing through Colorado Public Radio (CPR) reporter Ryan Warner being the latest left-wing journalist to try and claim Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign talking points were really “fact checks.”

“I used to think Lauren Boebert refused to do interviews with local reporters because she thought the journalists would be unfair. Now I realize that her fear of the media is because she comes across as an insufferable jerk – the kind of person who is out of step with the values of most Coloradans,” Schrader whined in a recent column.

The media’s misleading use of so-called “fact checks”

Boebert took issue with a question Warner asked about if she would vote to repeal money passed as part of the so-called “Inflation Reduction Act” if Republicans won the White House and the Senate.

She pushed back pointing out that both President Joe Biden and U.S. Senator Joe Manchin (I-WV) said the so-called “Inflation Reduction Act” should have been called something else because it was really a Green New Deal bill.

“Isn’t it interesting that the first thing we talk about with the Inflation Reduction Act is green energy? Joe Biden and Joe Manchin both said we should have named this bill what it was. It’s not an Inflation Reduction Act. Unfortunately, that’s the con game that’s played here in Washington, DC, you put a pretty title on a bill and then the text doesn’t line up to the actual title. There’s over $350 billion in this bill that goes towards subsidizing renewable energy, which is extremely unreliable and it did nothing to reduce inflation. In fact, it’s expanded inflation with the – “Boebert began.

Warner interrupted by falsely claiming, “Well, inflation is easing.”

“… with a $1.2 trillion price tag,” Boebert shot back.

“I just want to say inflation is – ” Warner tried to argue before Boebert cut him off.

“Are we having a debate or an interview? I’m just checking,” Boebert asked.

Warner doubled down on his falsehood that inflation was easing.

“Well, first of all, I get to say things as a journalist to set the record straight, so inflation is easing,” Warner whined.

Boebert stood her ground and called Warner out for his bias.

“Oh, you’re going to fact-check me during the interview?” Boebert snapped.

“That’s exactly right, and inflation is easing,” Warner replied.

“Okay, this is adorable,” Waner concluded.

Inflation isn’t “easing.”

Prices continued to rise year over year with August showing a 2.5% increase – well above the Federal Reserve’s target level of 2% – in August.
