Lauren Boebert 'caught in a lie' after hyping bridge project she voted against funding

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) took to social media Wednesday to boast about a bridge project in her area, and it didn't go well.

"Great meeting with Glenwood Springs City Councilor and former Mayor Jonathan Godes," Boebert posted on X. "We have secured over $51.4 million for the South Bridge. Was thrilled to hear about nearly $30 million in costs savings in addition and that my support has helped make this project a reality."

The far-right congresswoman, who is currently trying to jump ship to a more conservative congressional district following a series of scandals that endangered her in her current seat, was quickly called out by her fellow lawmaker, Rep. Jason Crow (D-CO). "Hey Colorado!! @RepBoebert actually voted against this funding. Now she's trying to take credit! This is why people call DC a swamp ..." wrote Crow. He is correct, as the funding comes from the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, a signature program of the Biden administration that Boebert voted against.

Boebert angrily hit back, writing, "Hey Colorado! My office personally secured $1.4 million with my community development project request and also supported the $50 million grant that was received for the South Bridge Project. @repjasoncrow has voted to fund and enable the Biden border crisis every chance he gets. if you’re sick of your tax dollars funding free benefits for illegal aliens blame Jason and his Democrat friends!"

But Crow wasn't alone. Many others highlighted Boebert's two-step of praising funds she voted against going to a project in her state — including the Biden administration itself.

"One thing about Congressional Republicans…they’re going to take credit for investments they voted against," wrote the White House's official account.

"Congresswoman, in what way do you believe that your support helped this project?" wrote Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. "We chose it because it's a good project, and funded it using President Biden's infrastructure package, which you voted against."

"Not surprisingly @laurenboebert is caught in a lie today!!" wrote Boulder-based marketing executive @MailePRMedia. "Even the @WhiteHouse called her out. She’s taking credit for something she voted against. @RepBoebert voted against the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill and other legislation that the Administration has put forth to support America's infrastructure!!! Will she update her post to reflect this Major gaffe?"

"Lots of people dunking on Boebert for voting against the bill that funded this, not enough people dunking on Boebert for the fact that we know she doesn’t actually give a s--- about this project, because she’s f------- off to the other side of the state in 6 months," wrote the Center for New Liberalism's Tobin Stone.
