President Trump called for a Republican challenger to Rep. Lauren Boebert after she campaigned for Rep. Thomas Massie in Kentucky. Trump posted on social media Saturday that anyone interested in running against Boebert in Colorado’s Fourth Congressional District should come forward.

He described Boebert as a “carpetbagger” who moved districts and said she deserves a primary fight for supporting Massie.

” Trump added that he had previously endorsed Boebert but would withdraw that endorsement and support an alternative candidate if the right person emerged.

Boebert replied that she saw the post and was not offended.

She said she knew the risks when she agreed to campaign for Massie. “Yes, I saw the President’s post. No, I’m not mad or offended. I was, and will be, America First, America Always, and MAGA. Onward,” Boebert wrote. The exchange comes as Boebert campaigns for Massie ahead of his reelection bid in Kentucky.
