Lauren Boebert Can’t Lose

6. Our Evening With Lauren Boebert

Today is election day, and for Congresswoman Lauren Boebert it’s a big one. She has five opponents for the Republican nomination in her new district in Colorado and, as we’ve learned in this limited-run podcast series, a whole lot of baggage. But we’re done dissecting her controversies and analyzing her strategies. On this final episode, it’s time to sit down at her kitchen table and hear her side of the story. We’ll be breaking down the CD4 primary election results, as well as every other race that matters to Denverites, on our daily local news and culture podcast City Cast Denver.

5. New District, New Boebert

When Lauren Boebert announced late last year that she was moving to run for Congress in a whole new district, the experts all thought she was toast. But here we are on the eve of Colorado’s Republican primaries on June 25, and she is the clear frontrunner to win. She’s polling 35% ahead [https://kaplanstrategies.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/CO-CD4-06022024-with-writeup.pdf] of her closest opponent, and she raised more money [https://coloradosun.com/2024/06/14/lauren-boebert-fundraising-primary-final-colorado/] than all five of them combined. So on the fifth episode of this limited podcast series, we’ve got the story of how she came back from the Beetlejuice scandal stronger than ever.  Heidi Beedle mentioned evangelical leader Lance Wallnau’s description of Trump as a “modern-day King Cyrus [https://www.vox.com/identities/2018/3/5/16796892/trump-cyrus-christian-right-bible-cbn-evangelical-propaganda].” For more from Heidi, you can find their latest reporting at the Colorado Times Recorder [https://coloradotimesrecorder.com/]. ‘Lauren Boebert Can’t Lose’ is a City Cast production from the team at City Cast Denver [https://denver.citycast.fm/].

4. Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Beetlejuice

It all started because Congresswoman Lauren Boebert got caught in a lie. She said [https://twitter.com/laurenboebert/status/1701737633292939484?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1701737633292939484%7Ctwgr%5E42f4a74bec260ab9441b055bdae6c4ac79b2dadb%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.westword.com%2Fnews%2Fboebert-beat-congressional-karen-bounced-from-beetlejuice-17800239] that all she did in the Buell Theater was sing and dance during Beetlejuice: The Musical. She joked [https://twitter.com/laurenboebert/status/1701737633292939484?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1701737633292939484%7Ctwgr%5E42f4a74bec260ab9441b055bdae6c4ac79b2dadb%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.westword.com%2Fnews%2Fboebert-beat-congressional-karen-bounced-from-beetlejuice-17800239] about getting kicked out and missing the end of the show. But when people saw what she really did on the high-resolution surveillance footage that leaked to the press, it changed the course of her career forever. So on the fourth episode of this limited podcast series, we’ve got the story of how the Beetlejuice scandal played out, and what it meant to the people who supported her most.  ‘Lauren Boebert Can’t Lose’ is a City Cast production from the team at City Cast Denver [https://denver.citycast.fm/].

3. The Pueblo Problem

As a first-term member of Congress, Lauren Boebert made a name for herself by doing exactly what the conservatives of rural Colorado sent her to Washington to do: Confront Democrats. She accused a fellow representative of being a terrorist, attempted to impeach President Joe Biden, and heckled the president during his 2022 State of the Union. But being a member of Congress isn’t just about headline-grabbing antics. So on the third episode of this limited podcast series, we’ve got the story of what this celebrity MAGA warrior has actually done as a legislator and how it affected a very important group of her constituents — veterans in Pueblo, Colorado.  ‘Lauren Boebert Can’t Lose’ is a City Cast production from the team at City Cast Denver [https://denver.citycast.fm/].

2. How The Boebert Brand Was Born

In the fall of 2019, Beto O’Rourke was the politician to watch. An energetic young Dem who gave Ted Cruz a run for his money in the 2018 Texas Senate race, Beto ran for president on a strong gun control message! Then one day at a rally, a woman shows up to confront the candidate with a gun on her hip. On the second episode of this limited podcast series, we learn how Lauren Boebert built the Boebert brand.  ‘Lauren Boebert Can’t Lose’ is a City Cast production from the team at City Cast Denver [https://denver.citycast.fm/].
