Rep. Lauren Boebert Ridiculed For Attending Trump's Trial, But Not Her Son's

Rep. Lauren Boebert’s (R-Colo.) presence at Donald Trump’s hush money trial on Thursday caused an outcry on social media.

Tyler Boebert was arrested in February in connection with a string of vehicle trespasses and property thefts in Rifle, Colorado. The 19-year-old was charged with four felony counts of criminal possession of ID documents, one felony count of conspiracy to commit a felony and 15 misdemeanor and petty offenses.

Previously, he had told the court he was having trouble affording a lawyer.
