Boebert's Top Press Aide Quits

The communications director for Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO), a firebrand Republican freshman who boasts about carrying a gun to work, has quit after less than two weeks on the job, Axios reports.

Said Ben Goldey said in a statement: “Following the events of January 6th, I’ve decided to part ways with the office. I wish her and the people of Colorado’s Third District the best.”

Q-anon, gun-toting and outspoken kook. There was no win for him staying in that position.

Many think, me among them, that #bullhornlady is Boebert's mother.

She may have made the alibi claim in her letter without consulting her staff. Perhaps she expected more loyalty than was wise.

and is involved in trying to overthrow the government.

I hope they catch all of them and send them to jail for a long time. And they should add charges for being so stupid thinking they could get away with it.

Who hooked him up with Boebert in the first place? Are there some side payments? Moonlighting with a wink and a nod?

Former comm director for a government department (Interior?).

Former comm director for mcCONnell.


Between Election Day and Swearing In Day there are two months to find staff and get it all lined up. Except she didn't get it quite lined up so well.

Boebart may feel threaten by that one. Shawn spicer is available still but dancing with the stars and Annie Oakley won’t mix well, then there is Stephanie Grisham if you would like a communications director that has nothing to say. Ah FK it, she should do it herself, she won’t be there much longer anyway.

So what did he learn in the last two weeks that pushed him over the edge?
