But she was also critical of protesters as fires were set and businesses were looted, saying the “real change agents” of America were those who built up their communities rather than burning them down.

The 35-year-old Trump supporter is running for re-election in Colorado’s third congressional district, which she has represented since January 3, 2021. Boebert had been widely expected to retain the traditionally Republican seat, with election prediction site FiveThirtyEight giving her a 97 percent chance of returning to Congress in its last update released on election day, November 8.

During an appearance on Newsmax on Thursday, Boebert discussed her visit to the border in McAllen, Texas in early June. She told host Greg Kelly she had spoken with border patrol agents, sheriffs and local landowners. “And, Greg, I gotta tell ya, the border patrol agents, they are overwhelmed,” Boebert said. “They’re overrun, their facilities are obviously over-capacity, but they cannot even test people for COVID, because they can’t risk having a positive COVID test and quarantining these illegal aliens that are crossing....

Tom Grieve, a Milwaukee lawyer and former prosecutor who is not connected to the case, said Circuit Judge Bruce Schroeder’s decision was “definitely unusual in my experience.” “The natural issue is that it will precipitate armchair research and table discussion,” he said.
