BOBO KILLS FIDO? Lauren Boebert denies shooting neighbor's dog

A woman in Colorado is claiming her dog was killed by Rep. Lauren Boebert (Q-Colorado via Ted Cruz’s friend’s house) in August of this year because the gun-loving barking GOP seal considered the pet to be “violent.”

Boebert, who has a long history of domestic violence and lying to go along with her blatant obsession to assassinate Nancy Pelosi, denied the claim on Twitter on Sunday and said that she had never shot and killed a dog. Here’s Squeaky’s pre-Congressional makeover mugshot, well before she (allegedly, don’t threaten to sue me and never follow through on it, mother of the year!) siphoned campaign funds directly into a plastic surgeon’s bank account.

The story, which stems from an incident in August, has a drastic she said/she said take, but with Squeaky’s track record of MAGA Mean Girl-ing her way through her embarrassment of what I can only hope will be her lone term in our House, I’m a tad more inclined to lean towards the neighbor’s side, but we still don’t have the complete story. But also, Bobo thinks dogs are going to be the main source of her diet in the near future.

On Sunday, Squeaky’s unfortunately-located neighbor Yaritza Mendoza penned a lengthy Facebook post about the death of her dog, a husky named Omega. Mendoza said that she’d hesitated to come forward for fear of Boebert as a member of Congress and oft-praised member of the community.

“I was scared of the arrogance that your head is filled with while you carry a gun,” Mendoza writes in the post. “However, I am writing this now to let you know I am no longer scared of you.”

Mendoza writes that Boebert’s son “repeatedly” came onto their family property to play with Omega and would take the dog over to the Boebert property without permission, leading the Mendozas to ask him to stop doing so “for safety reasons.” Mendoza explains how she still allowed the neglected Boebert boy into their home, saying, “We also welcomed him every single time: he even created a friendship with my younger cousins,” Mendoza wrote. “You were aware of his actions yet never communicated with him to stop.”

 

She claimed that Omega rarely left their “wired fenced property,” but said she disappeared on the morning of August 17th. After hours of looking for the dog, Mendoza started calling animal shelters and knocking on neighbors’ doors, including Boebert’s. Mendoza further claims that Boebert relocated the dog’s body. “Any decent and human person would have grab [sic] my dog and had a conversation with her owner about the situation. Yet you decided to grab her, shoot her, then dump her far from the house,” she wrote.

My favorite line, whether Squeaky killed the dog or not:

“Your gun isn’t the solution to all your problems. Communication on your end would have been appreciated. I was willing to help with the damages IF you had communicated.”

Yeah, the Boeberts aren’t exactly known for their verbal skills.

I’m okay with Boebert getting locked up for animal cruelty while the DOJ takes its sweet time on that whole other seditious conspiracy thing. Just saying.
