Trump’s Colorado cheerleader hits out at ‘filty garbage’ gossip

She has in the past criticised fellow members of Congress who faced sexual misconduct allegations, asking reporters in April this year: “Why is everybody so horny here?”

And in June she turned her fire on that bastion of hard left radicalism, er, professional baseball, posting a video on X saying: “The MLB is gay. Well, at least they keep pushing the LGBTQ agenda when not a single person of theirs identifies as anything but straight.

“The MLB isn’t standing up for their players, they are pushing a woke agenda and that ain’t freedom. They are attacking any player that disagrees with this agenda.” The league’s crime had been to issue players with one-off themed caps to mark Pride Night.

It is therefore somewhat awkward that Boebert now finds herself having to deny inappropriate relationships with three staff members – two female and one male – and paying one $200,000 to stay quiet. An ethics complaint signed under oath alleges that the congresswoman made the payment after they threatened to report it.

In February 2018, Congress unanimously passed H. Res. 724, which stated that members cannot have sexual relationships with anyone they supervise, regardless of consent. The complaint against Boebert involves an alleged sexual relationship between her and a staffer, Clarice Navarro, which began in 2021 and lasted until she left Boebert’s office last year.

It further alleges their sexual encounters took place during and after office hours, in the district office, in a vehicle and in hotel rooms paid for by Boebert’s campaign. The ethics complaint, filed on September 17, further claims that Boebert paid Navarro $200,000 after she allegedly threatened to file her own ethics complaint in March 2025.

Navarro has denied the allegations, telling the Colorado Times Recorder: “These allegations regarding me are entirely false, defamatory and beyond ridiculous. There is absolutely no truth to any part of this claim.”

But Boebert herself – who became a grandmother at 36 – was rather earthier in her denial, describing it in an X video as a “salacious BS attack” and “filthy garbage”.

“Hey journalists, now that I’m finished with my more important tasks of the day, I’ve a few words for you,” she said. “You all ran a smear and called it news… It’s a scam. And you fell for it.”

It is, however, not the first time Boebert has had to vehemently deny something. In 2023, she was removed by security staff from a performance of the musical Beetlejuice in a theatre in Denver after she and her companion caused a disturbance by vaping, singing, recording the performance and groping each other.

The congresswoman denied the story, saying she only pleaded “guilty to laughing and singing too loud”. Awkwardly, CCTV footage then emerged confirming the story. Boebert said she “simply fell short of my values” and explained that she had previously denied it only because she “did not recall” it. Whoops!
