Boebert Says Colleges Are "Leftist Training Camps"

[TexasTowelie]

The largest school in her district, Colorado Mesa University, is led by a prominent Republican.


In a column published yesterday, Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (R-CO) called all colleges and universities “leftist training camps.”

Writing for Glenn Beck’s far-right website The Blaze, Boebert attacked Congressional Democrats’ proposed update to federal voting laws, called the For The People Act (H.R. 1), which among other reforms would implement many of Colorado’s “gold standard” election laws across the country.

Despite having handily won an election conducted under these laws, Boebert accuses Democrats of trying to rig the system, including attempting “to use taxpayer dollars to establish aggressive voter recruitment programs at leftist training camps — otherwise known as colleges and universities.” Boebert’s office did not respond to a request for additional comment.

Colorado’s Third Congressional District contains five schools offering four-year degrees: Colorado Mesa University, Western Colorado University, Colorado State University Pueblo, Fort Lewis College and Adams State University. The district is also home to numerous regional campuses for junior and community colleges.
