Gun-toting restaurateur upsets 5-term Colorado congressman
A pistol-packing restaurant owner who has expressed support for a far-right conspiracy theory has upset five-term U.S. Rep. Scott Tipton in Colorado’s primary elections.

Tipton became the fourth House member to lose renomination bids this year. Republican Reps. Steve King of Iowa and Denver Riggleman of Virginia, and Democrat Daniel Lipinski of Illinois, have already been ousted by challengers.

He lost Tuesday to Lauren Boebert, the owner of a gun-friendly restaurant in a western Colorado town called Rifle. Earlier this year, Boebert said in an interview that she was “very familiar” with the QAnon conspiracy theory, but she stopped short of saying she was a follower.

I don't know anything about Rep. Tipton, but if he's just another jelly spined republican, then good!
I will never apologize for being an American.

I have a friend that shoots 50's with us, that lives in CO, and he personally knows
Lauren Boebert, the owner of a gun-friendly restaurant in a western Colorado town called Rifle
and her family. He said she is VERY Pro 2A and is quite nice, as is her family.

It is good to get as many Pro 2A people in office as we can. Especially if Biden has ANY chance of winning.
