Republican Rep. Ken Buck surprised everyone Tuesday by announcing he would vacate his seat on March 22, well before his previously announced retirement date.
How is fellow Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert taking the news? She thinks it’s a conspiracy against her by the “uniparty.”
LAUREN BOEBERT: The uniparty is trying to do everything that they can to stop my candidacy, to rig the election in Colorado, and—this is breaking news as of yesterday. Ken Buck’s announcement yesterday was a gift to the uniparty. The establishment concocted a swampy, backroom deal to try to rig an election—an election that I’m winning by 25 points—forcing an unnecessary special election when? The same day as the primary election in Colorado. And this will confuse voters, and it will result in a lame duck congressman on Day One and leave the 4th District with no representation for more than three months. This is absolutely unacceptable. I believe that this is selfish.
