Lauren Boebert is blaming celebrities like Ryan Reynolds and Barbara Streisand as part of the reason why she chose to run in a completely different district in the 2024 election. After both celebrities donated a combined $1,500.00 to her Democratic opponent, she claims that was tantamount to Hollywood “trying to buy” her seat.
