“Maybe this is their job. Maybe they're paid to do it,” Boebert said in an interview with the Washington Examiner on Saturday. “You see this from extreme leftist progressives because either this is their job, either they are paid to do it, or they have nothing better to do, they're sitting at home collecting a check, and this is their life.”
“I mean, I don't have time for that,” the Republican lawmaker said. “You don't see conservatives doing things like this because we have families to take care of, we have jobs to work at, we have communities to grow. And that's our focus — not to destroy, but to build.”

Her remark followed a group of radical leftists who caused a riot at Colorado Christian University Centennial Institute’s Western Conservative Summit in downtown Denver on Friday night. A flyer from the Denver Communists distributed at the event read, “We want to send these worms back into their holes, demoralized and isolated.” At one point, a brawl broke out when an outsider started to film the demonstrators and one man knocked his phone out of his hand.

Boebert, one of the speakers at the summit, had a key purpose. One demonstrator wore a shirt that read, “Lauren Boebert is a f****** terrorist.” Another woman yelled for Boebert to “run and hide.”

“I feel sorry for her cats,” Boebert said in response to the woman in a tweet.
Later Friday evening, a group of radicals had a standoff with about 10 Denver police officers in riot gear, and the protesters yelled, “Boebert’s bitch boys.”
To the freshman Republican congresswoman, “That’s too far.”
“For them to attempt to attack me but to demoralize our police — that's disgusting,” Boebert said. “That's not an attack on me. That's an attack on the men and women who get dressed every day to serve their communities, who sacrifice and risk their lives every day."

She tore the Democratic-controlled Colorado state legislature for ending adequate immunity for police officers.
“They don't know what's going to happen when they step foot out that door,” Boebert said. “Can you imagine the stress of going into these situations where it's — especially in this climate, in this environment where our police officers are demonized and vilified? And now, they're personally liable for their job.”

Lately, Boebert has also been criticized for voting against a bill to give the U.S. Capitol Police officers who were injured in Jan. 6 gold medals, with some saying that it showed irreverence for the police officers. Uniformed Capitol Police officers showed up at her congressional office to demand an explanation, she said.
