GOP Rep Lauren Boebert 'covered up' off-roading accident that could have sunk her political career

GOP Rep Lauren Boebert 'covered up' off-roading accident that could have sunk her political career after she lost control of Jeep ATV and left her son, dog, and sister-in-law to smash into a rock face two weeks before key 2020 primary



GOP Rep Lauren Boebert 'bailed' from the driver's seat of a Jeep ATV leaving her son and dog in the back seat and her former sister-in-law struggling to right the vehicle as it careened down a ravine and smashed into a rock face in Moab, Utah, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal.

According to a family insider Boebert, 35, was off-roading on Mother's Day 2020 – just two weeks before she was to win a Republican primary – when she lost control and 'bailed,' leaving her family members to their fate.

Tori Hooper, 28, who was married to Boebert's younger brother, Benjamin Bentz, at the time, sustained serious injuries to her face and chest that led to further health complications months later.

Yet DailyMail.com has learned that no 911 call was ever placed.

Instead, the source said, the then-congressional hopeful, Boebert, 'begged' Hooper not to tell anyone about the accident which could have dominated the headlines leading up to the primary.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10900825/Lauren-Boebert-accused-ditching-family-roading-accident-losing-control-vehicle.html

The source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said: 'It was pretty crazy. She [Boebert] got out of the driver's seat and left Tori screaming and freaking out, and her son and dog in the back seat.

'Tori couldn't get out of her seatbelt, so she grabbed the steering wheel. She's steering into a cliff. They hit a rock wall; it struck her whole face. It was bad.'

she deserted her child, her sister in law and the poor dog, jumped out of the vehicle and left them to their fate?

WTF? and was there a tow truck, was there police involvement? Can't someone stop these dangerous cretins from running our government?

They...conservatives finally who have had enough of the inbred MAGA wing... took out Madison Cawthorn, and said Boebert was the next target.

They're still conservatives, and thus still scumbags at the core, but if they wanna do some of the heavy lifting for us, so be it.

Daily Mail is on the same level as Breitbart, Gateway Pundit, and other shady "news" sources.
