Why a Gay Republican in Denver is Rejecting His Own Party's Endorsement
This week, the Colorado GOP sent out an email with the subject line, “God Hates Pride.” (www.9news.com/article/news/local/local-politics/colorado-gop-call-burn-gay-pride-flags/73-e5156582-2888-46d2-b535-d5981c149817) The email, containing a picture of a laser-eyed Jesus over a pride flag with the phrase “God Hates Flags”, saw a lot of pushback online - even from within the party. One of the most outspoken critics of the email is Valdamar Archuleta, a gay Republican running to represent Denver in Congress. In a video posted to X (x.com/Archuleta4CO/status/1797934815641002253) , Archuleta condemns the email and rejects the Colorado GOP’s endorsement of his campaign. He joins host Bree Davies to talk about why he felt the email went too far and whether he still feels welcome in his own party.
Bree mentioned a CPR News story (www.cpr.org/2024/06/04/colorado-gop-anti-lgbtq-pride-email/) on the Colorado GOP’s attack on Pride Month; she also talked about the myths around statistics of people who actually perpetrate sex crimes against children.

Go Colorado - stop the cancel culture & indoctrination of our children!!! Maybe we can all stop living in Sodom and Gomorrah just waiting for God to smite us for allowing this degradation of our morals.
She built her brand by being Fled Cruz's prosti..... ah, ah escort. Remor has it she had group rates for bachelor parties and conventions.
I like how Boebert went to support Trump at his fraud trail but bailed on her son at his own trial. In her defense, her son is a lost cause. Look who raised him.
And the Titanic is unsinkable.
Is this a pro-boobert podcast? Ew. Btw Bree sounds identical to Francesca Florentini of the Bitchuation Room
Love the truth on bobert
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 she's such a loser!

Don't nobody want to hear your podcast about stupid lauren bulbert
She will lose in general election if not in primary..what a turd
LAUREN BOEBERT: Canned loser
D you have any bikini pics? 😏😛😍
"Let us know what you think". Okay. This person should not represent us. She represented us in District 3, and she is biased about energy. I mean, just keeping this on an objective basis. She doesn't give the state a fair shake about what it wants in terms of energy or environmental concern. I live in Rye, Colorado, grew up in Pueblo. Spent ten years trying to live in Texas in the 80s, but I came home to work with family. I care what goes on around Pueblo, especially with the steel mill and the wind turbine factory. We have the world's largest wind turbine factory that she couldn't be bothered to visit once in her 2 terms. Visits local Republicans at our restaurants, quietly in and out. Showed up with an odd cohort at the Convention Center with Floridian gadfly, Matt Gaetz. So come on! She doesn't serve us. She doesn't serve the USA in a sense, ignoring renewable energy development. I honestly don't care about her personal baloney. I mean, it's counter-productive and distracting, and now maybe she's realizing that might work in her favor because of this victim hood BS Republicans seem only too glad to exploit. I want my representative to be boringly good, on the ball mentally, educated, fair. Not clever, smug, quick to anger. I want my representative to be fair. Above all, in voting she is biased. She has her agenda. She ought to do something else. She doesn't serve the public. She serves herself.
A graveyard, is within a churchyard, A cemetery is all others, Fact.
Serious? You're going to do a podcast about this unhinged person? Don't need to tell me more to not open your videos.
Don't punish us for driving until public transit is more usable. People drive because buses don't go where they are needed when needed.
It's going to be back to escorting in no time.
Do you know who I am
Ew. A whole podcast about Bobo? No, no!
She's gonna lose. She's just a loser. Such a loser 😂😂😂
Bimbert was the girl in high school who never paid attention in class, was known for giving handjobs behind the bleachers, and was always trashed out of her gourd at every party. She dropped out of high school, as is common knowledge, yet the people in Colorado felt she was qualified to make decisions about their own futures. Great job, CO!
Thank you for reporting on this. I am not an expert but I cannot imagine the amount of resources - housing, social workers, etc - necessary to make a dent in the problem and provide people with the level of wrap around services they need to change the trajectory of their life.
If she represents America's future politics then we as Americans are fucked 😮
He needs to be kicked off the team. Incredibly disrespectful to put your team through this two years in a row.
A dumb channel for dumb people
A moose could get elected if it put on a MAGA hat in her district.
The best is yet to come.
She is soon to reclaim the corner under the ⛽ gas lit lamp. Lest we forget Beetle juice 🥤.
Let's be clear, she was an Escort when she Is met with ted cruse. He then donated over a hundred thousand dollars to help her get started in politics. FACT. I wouldn't vote for her, but I would take her to the movies, As long as she doesn't still smell like ted.
Apparently she is passionate about public urination. Not on Colorado, but in Washington DC.
Boebert is so uneducated and incompetent .
I don't know, she may be second runner up to MGT.
Lauren has the right to do whatever she wants on her days off and that pregnant lady was a snitch, too. And how come she never gets kudos for when she stopped hooking? You just can`t please everybody ...
"That pregnant lady" had EVERY RIGHT IN THE WORLD TO "SNITCH," a term primarily used by thugs in prison, but I digress. I'M GLAD SHE COMPLAINED and got that BIMBO BIMBOBERT, REMOVED.
WHo says she stopped hooking?? She was diving for votes with that Democrat date ya know.....
"Life is hard..... it's even harder when you're Stupid." - John Wayne

I suspect it was yrump pulling a fast one and his son didn't play yes. Yes dad,
Awful
What laws has she introduced? How has she helped her district in any way?
By moving and has a voter in her old district I am very grateful.
No it’s not hard to not watch her at all. I don’t watch train wrecks either though. She’s just too trashy to represent anyone
Be sure to interview the neighbors her thug children terrorized on their ATVs!
A life not too soon forgotten.
Coprophilia is a serious condition. Yet, there is still hope if you seek help.
This carpetbagger is most definitely going to lose. I helped Adam Frisch chased her out of the 3rd. What a useless hs dropout!
I hear she's a good theater manager. Vote Democrat. 😊❤
Lauren Boebert can and will lose.
