UPDATE: Dog Murder Immediately Becomes Issue In Boebert's Reelection Bid
Democratic opponent posts loving pic of dog after grisly news breaks
Despite her protestation that she had nothing to do with the killing, the murder of a neighbor's dog is quickly becoming an issue in Rep Lauren Boebert's bid for a second term in office.
Not only has a political action committee (PAC) known for publicizing other Boebert scandals grabbed hold of the dog murder, Boebert's Democratic opponent in next month's election has subtly turned it to an issue in their tight race with just weeks to go to Election Day.
At issue is the killing of a husky, Omega, owned by a neighbor of Boebert's back in her Colorado district.
Boebert's neighbor accuses the right-wing lawmaker of killing her beloved husky, Omega, and then refusing to tell her the truth about the pet's fate for hours as the neighbor became distraught.
Although Boebert denied involvement in the murder, the PAC which has been pursuing the controversial congresswoman even criticizes her denial.
“Update: @laurenboebert's response to the dog killing was written by staff, not her. No compassion. No apology. Nothing neighborly or motherly. The fact is the 21 yo girl's dog was killed in Boebert's barn. Her staff is trying to quell the furor. Don't let her get away with this,” American Muckrakers PAC Inc tweeted.
American Muckrakers has been tangling with Boebert over allegations that the social conservative worked as an unregistered escort for wealthy men, and subsequently had an abortion at a Colorado Planned Parenthood as a result of that work.
Adam Frisch, the Democrat who has been running a pretty neck-and-neck campaign to replace Boebert in the US House of Representatives, addressed the murder of the dog, Omega, in a subtle-but-unmistakable way on social media with a well-timed cute photo of himself with his own four-footed best friend.
“Padme is my best friend. And she wants you to help us defeat Lauren Boebert on Nov 8,” Frisch tweeted, with a link for supporters to donate to his campaign.
