Republican Crime Blotter: Case of the Mistaken Thumb



 

Recently, military gun- fondling nutjob and cheap Sarah Palin knock-off Rep. Lauren "Bobo" Boebert (Sedition-CO) was caught lying on her Federal financial disclosure forms when she failed to disclose an important financial conflict of interest. While she serves on the House Natural Resources Committee which oversees the regulation of the natural gas industry, her skeevy husband Jayson's "consultant" work in that industry for which he was compensated roughly $1 million in recent years. Nice family business: the regulator is the spouse of the regulated. We wonder what they talked about at home?

It probably isn't Jayson's 2004 arrest for exposing himself to two women at a Colorado bowling alley, as reported by Salon:

"In January 2004, when Jayson Boebert was 24, he was arrested for exposing himself to two young women at a Colorado bowling alley. His future wife Lauren Roberts (as she was then known), who was 17 at the time, was also present and was told she was no longer welcome at the bowling alley.

Jayson Boebert pled guilty to "public indecency and lewd exposure" after that incident, according to The New York Post, and was sentenced to four days in jail with a subsequent two years on probation."  (our emphasis)

He became belligerent when told to leave the bowling alley, claiming to police it was his thumb sticking through the fly of his pants not his penis (Ed. -- we'll give him credit for equating his manhood's size with his thumb). Sadly for "Bobo," that wasn't the last Jayson saw of the law, per Salon:

"Not long after that incident, Jayson Boebert found himself in trouble with the law again after a domestic violence incident (which has already been widely publicized) involving Lauren Roberts, his then-girlfriend and future wife. In February 2004, Jayson Boebert was arrested and charged with harassing and physically assaulting Lauren, and was convicted on those charges in November. He "did unlawfully strike, shove or kick ... and subjected her to physical contact," a Garfield County court clerk spokesman told The New York Post in January of 2021. Lauren Roberts had her first child later that year; it is unclear whether she was pregnant at the time of the assault." (our emphasis)

That's some low self-esteem on the part of "Bobo" to stick with a lowlife like Jayson and have his child after he harassed and assaulted her. Perhaps that's the root of her military gun fetish: low self-esteem and a need to project with weapons a strength and power that you lack in your personal life. Corruption, violence and perversion seem to be in the Boeberts' DNA.
