‘2 In The Pink…’: FEC Calls Out Fake Boebert PAC With X-Rated Name
The Federal Election Commission has asked for verification of a political committee registered under an obscene name that invokes Colorado Republican Representative Lauren Boebert. The filing lists Boebert as both candidate and treasurer, and the agency warns that false registration details can lead to penalties or a law enforcement referral.
The committee was created in September and reported no fundraising or spending. Its form also gave a non-functional 555 phone number and described it as both a candidate committee and a political action committee. The FEC’s 35-day response deadline fell on 9 November; without a response, the filing moves to an unverified category and is removed from the searchable database. Separately, Boebert was trailing Democratic challenger Eileen Laubacher by more than 3,000 votes, with 98% of precincts reporting.
In short
- FEC sought verification of a crude committee filing naming Boebert.
- The filing reported no money raised or spent.
- Boebert trailed her challenger by over 3,000 votes.
