A five-term Republican congressman endorsed by President Donald Trump conceded his primary reelection bid in Colorado's 3rd Congressional District, a stunning upset that will vault his far-right challenger, Lauren Boebert, into the state's general election

A five-term Republican congressman endorsed by President Donald Trump conceded his primary reelection bid in Colorado's 3rd Congressional District on Tuesday evening, a stunning upset that will vault his far-right challenger, Lauren Boebert, into the state's general election.

"3rd District Republicans have decided who they want to run against the Democrats this November," Rep. Scott Tipton said in a statement Tuesday evening."I want to congratulate Lauren Boebert and wish her and her supporters well."Tipton was widely believed to be the front runner in the race before Tuesday evening. "Congressman @ScottRTipton is a great supporter of the #MAGA Agenda! He fights for your #2A rights and the Border Wall," the President tweeted on Monday.

Is Boebert Family on Medicaid?!

he should have been termed out years ago

F3ck you CNN and your BS agenda! She is what America needs more of!

Good for her. Need more “far right” people in Congress.

can you stop putting that guys face out there? its revolting. Thanks.

Go get em girl!!

AmericanGunChic Why is she considered far right? She is just a regular business owner tired of progressive politics endangering her livelihood.

Dems and liberal media try to spin the win of a Pro-gun conservative candidate! She beat the bureaucrat!!! That’s a Trump win. Trump will invite her to the White House next week.

there is no coordinated efforts to thwart whatever! But, money, power, and politics are factors in the world of decision making.

Red wave is getting relevant

Both suck

I think CNN calling her far right means she is a traditional conservative more so than the left leaning moderate.

❤️ Boebert!

“Far-right” because she supports the 2nd amendment? is a fucking joke😂

Lol any Republican is better then a United States Hating liberal Democrat have you not seen what these Democrat run citys are doing to our Great country?

I try to stay out of politics on twitter but sometimes things news orgs say are so glaring it's hard not to ask.. if she were on the left would you point out that she was a far left candidate or just on the Democrat side? Anyway, she reads more like a Libertarian.

Good for her. Citizens are tired of you in the media and DC gits.

She is a Constitutionalist! There’s nothing far-right about that! CNNFakeNews

In 2020, being a business woman, and pro-personal freedoms is 'far right' to the MSM and left. If someone would have told me 20 years ago that I, a pro-marijuana, pro-gun, individualist would be considered far right I'd say the left must have become the new 'church ladies'.

'far right' really? can you TRY to hide your bias?

'far-right' Aka supports the constitution.

Just a glimpse of what November is going to bring. People are sick of this crap. Making more conservatives by the day.

You guys know she challenged him in it being far Right enough right? Of course not

The leftists and are just upset that an attractive, independent minded, successful woman can rise to the top, because she thinks wrong and it goes against their narrative, that we are an evil patriarchy It's ironic because now by the leftists' own logic, they're the sexists

Hello America,-the virus started in China that’s its origin we all need to start calling it China 19 ,-in our text in our tweets in our communications. Love all genders, love all people. It’s CHINA19. china19.

Love this Woman..!! 🤠😍☠️

The Impurity Of Right Wing Social And Political Logic, Protect Your Gun Rights To Take A Life But Reject The Right Of Other People To Wear A Mask To Save A Life. Second Amendment Or Not It’s F... Nuts!

Sweet 🤙🏽

She's a far right, bc she believes QAnon. Deepstate is coining Q as info terrorism. Ofc they got something to hide

Well I guess Trump will have to start supporting her

It’s about time a real conservative won an election. Far right is a code word for normal and healthy.

A sweet victory!

Grest news.

Chicks with guns...hot.

She seems to believe/follow the QAnon bullshit so I’d say “far right” is an apt term.

Good for her. He wasn't a supporter of Trump anyhow.

The threat of running a conservative woman is now Far-Right?

'Far-right', well done.

You guys have actually ruined the impact of calling someone 'far-right'. Impressive.

Yummy

So a crap person won over a crap person. Seems pretty much a Republican thing nowadays

Anyone who has held power for 5 terms needs to be let go.

Congrats to laurenboebert on your victory. Guess being pro 2A and love of country is now 'Far-Right'. LMAO. CNN is shit.

We don’t need another IPhone or some tech gadget not another stimulus check or more money printed; what does the world need A savior!! I savior that knows what it means to have flesh and go through suffering and prejudices; we need Christ!! Not black lives matter or new theme

A Qanon nut job wins GOP primary😂 Why aren’t we surprised? That says how miserably our education has failed in this country.

Good, we need more people like her, and fewer career politicians, in office.

Yaaa but 45 will endorse her in a heartbeat. Will consider her a rising star.

Perfect for us Coloradans - she is certain to lose the general election!

Guns and a pretty face can only take you so far. The Trump train along with all the minions running on anger will end comes November.

Here let me help you... his extremist, far right, batshit crazy, conspiracy theorist challenger into the ...

“Far right” now equals anyone who wants freedom and rule of law. Buckle up patriots. We’re now in a culture war for the survival of America. 🇺🇸

Both suck.

sarah palin 2.0, who the hell needs their waiter/waitress to have a loaded gun. In case of what? your hamburger is too raw and needs to be shot again?

CONGRATS laurenboebert

Far right? You mean not corporate controlled? You make me sad with your labels.

She's big on guns and wants to abolish the Dept of Education. Great combination. We'll see how smart Coloradoans are in November.

Honest question, what makes her ‘far right’? Comments on a conspiracy theory that you don’t bother to elaborate on before labeling her? Seems as if personal freedom has become a far right stance.

You call her 'far-right' to make her come across as toxic. In reality, she is FAR from your views and her views, unlike yours, are RIGHT. THAT makes her far-right and proud of it!

Like there is any difference in these two 😂

Nice! ComeAndTakeIt

Supporting the Constitution is now ‘far right.’ 🙄

TrueFactsStated Dems May have a chance against Boebert. She is a QAnon Wackadoodle.

Far Right? She's a traditional conservative, who fully supports the Bill of Rights in its literal reading. That makes her equivalent to the political stance of approximately 30% of Americans. That is solid in the middle of being a right wing conservative.

Good - new blood that will uphold constitutional rights.

Trump is the kiss of death for anyone he endorses. Hopefully Dems will show up to be the Kiss of death for ALL of the GOP in November.

She is a good compromise candidate but i want her further right

Wow! Do you think it’s time to ask the president Who or what is Q?Go ahead AskTheQ

Good. Clear ALL of the incumbents out, anyone who has already been there for more than a few terms, no matter the party - just don't replace them with those fucking Democrats/liberals.

Why do all these wacko right wing ladies look like porn stars?

lol.

Democrats in for a nasty defeat. Not to many people vote for cop killers, baby killers, and destruction of life limb and property.

' realDonaldTrump, MalignantNarcissist🪞, FINALLY agreed to WEAR a MASK today, which is good👍 However, it then shot itself in the knee with an SS gun it insisted on playing with & didn't even notice. BatShit, NOT good at all🤪 💥 📢RetweetSVP🙏 .

A five-term Republican congressman endorsed by President orange man conceded his primary reelection bid in Colorado's 3rd Congressional District, a stunning upset that will vault his far-right challenger, Lauren Boebert, into the state's general eating contest

This is step one of the Democrats regain Control of Congress First a extreme right winger win the primary step 2 he becomes unpopular with moderate voters that’s getting a lot of moderate voters to vote for Democrats step 3 win the general election

Problem: far right of Trump

Congratulations to Lauren

Dear All Please spread love care and affection in the world. Do share your positive thoughts and feelings in prayer. Put prayfromhome and let be united as human beings. Family That Prays Together Stays Together. prayfromhome PFH

Oh that should be fun watching a Fox News Host wannabe try and convince a bunch of thoroughly stoned Coloradans to that their state is 'too damned liberal.'

Sad

Diane Mitsch Bush for CO 3rd! Bring sanity and stability back to the House. These Q ppl are nothing but cyberbullies.

Now even the 'right republicans' are too less right.. You have to be 'radical right' for the GOP voters.. At least in Colorado.. Very disturbing, but revealing

The GOP is a corrupted shell infested with career politicians. The thing the corrupted fear most is those within its ranks who demand the GOP serves the People as opposed to its donors and corporate funders.

the Republican Party of today is full on Fascist

2 different versions of crazy.

A MAGA right wing Republican being replaced by a further right MGA supporting Republican..... wow

Colorado goes from bad to worse. There, I fixed your headline.

Everything Trump touches ends up in smoke.

Any good news?

Why no news about this boy....

Oh great, the even crazier.

Nobody is Far Enough to the Right

There is a clear winner in the best looking contest!

She’s a Q quack.

The Communist News Network labels laurenboebert as 'far-right' 😂. By their scale, that makes BernieSanders a moderate Democrat.
