Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) has sparked outrage on social media after attending former President Donald Trump’s criminal trial in New York while previously missing her 19-year-old son’s court dates in Colorado.
Boebert proudly announced her support for Trump on social media, declaring, “We are 100% behind him!” However, her absence from her son Tyler’s court appearances has raised questions about her priorities.
Tyler Boebert is facing 22 charges, including a felony count of conspiracy to commit a felony, and has been struggling to afford a lawyer.
Despite this, his mother was notably absent from his court dates, leading critics to accuse her of prioritizing her political allies over her family. The judge in Tyler’s case even expressed disappointment at the delay in finding legal representation, saying, “I wish you had turned in that application a little sooner.”
Boebert’s decision to attend Trump’s trial has sparked a wave of criticism on social media, with many users questioning her priorities and commitment to her family. Some have pointed out the hypocrisy of supporting Trump while neglecting her own son’s legal troubles.
Others have drawn comparisons to the upcoming trial of Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden, asking if the president will attend his son’s trial. The controversy has raised questions about the responsibilities of public figures and their commitment to their families.
