Rep. Lauren Boebert's 18-year-old son, Tyler Boebert, was arrested on Tuesday afternoon and is facing 22 charges, including several felony charges relating to a string of crimes in her Colorado district.

According to a Facebook post by the Rifle Police Department, the 18-year-old Boebert was arrested after a "recent string of vehicle trespass and property thefts" in Rifle, a town in Colorado's 3rd congressional district.

According to Garfield County Jail's records, the younger Boebert is facing four counts of criminal possession of a financial device, four counts of criminal possession of ID documents, and a count of conspiracy to commit a felony.

He's also charged with four misdemeanor counts of ID theft, three misdemeanor counts of first-degree criminal trespass, and three misdemeanor counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

In addition, he's also charged with three counts of the petty offense of theft of less than $300.

If this bitch wants to go after Joe Biden because of something Hunter Biden did/is accused of, then we damn well SHOULD care about what her son is doing. As they love to say, "the apple doesn't fall far from the tree."

If Republicans had no double standards, they'd have no standards at all.

Nah, this "stoop to their level" stuff doesn't help at all, it's stupid and just gives them more ammo to drag attention away from actual policy issues.

Which would just give them the go ahead to continue doing shit like that. You also have to think about who you are trying to sway with that shit. Her supporters do not care and will make every excuse that they can for it. People who do not like her do not like her because she herself is a piece of shit.

They are giving themselves the go ahead to continue shit like that and nothing that you or I or anyone says will stop that.
