A Colorado state legislator running against Congresswoman Lauren Boebert has accused his Republican rival of dressing like a prostitute in his latest vile remark.
State Rep. Richard Holtorf declared that Boebert ‘needs to learn how to dress’ after comparing her to women working the streets near the Colorado capitol building.
‘You know what I see about two blocks up from the State Capitol? I see women dressed like Boebert,’ Holtorf told 710KNUS radio Thursday morning. ‘High heels, short skirt, low cut blouse. And I won’t tell you what they’re doing but it’s nothing you can talk to your grandmother about.’
Holtorf, whose frankness has a history of creating friction with his Republican colleagues, commented on Boebert’s appearance just one day after she was heckled by a crowd of apparent students protesting the Israel-Hamas war at George Washington University in DC.
The protesters, who continue to occupy a ‘liberation camp’ that they erected last week, repeatedly chanted ‘Beetlejuice’ at the Congresswoman as her security detail led her through the campus. They also sang Darth Vader’s theme from Star Wars.
Boerbert, who was touring the encampment with other congress members, was seen trying to rip down a Palestinian flag that had been draped over a statue of George Washington as she stated: ‘This is America, and that s**t needs to come down.’

Holtorf, the State House Minority Whip, is running against Boebert to replace retiring Rep. Ken Buck in the 4th District.
Although analysts say he is struggling to get any traction in the six-way race, Holtorf is not happy with Boebert jumping into the 4th district and has had no problem criticizing Boebert publicly.
In addition to implying she dresses like a sex worker, as stated on public radio Thursday, Holtorf has previously accused Boebert of being a deserter of the conservative fight.
‘I don’t know if you understand what the penalty for desertion is in the military,’ he previously told DailyMail.com. ‘But it is very, very severe and involves something called a firing squad.’
Boebert’s personal and family drama, Holtorf said, would encourage voters in Colorado to support someone else.
‘She has a lot of problems with her family, and herself, and her family life that with a lot of judicial troubles,’ he said. ‘And that does not reflect well, with respect to a son that just recently has been arrested and charged with multiple felonies.’
Holtorf is referring to Boebert’s son Tyler getting arrested and hit with 22 criminal charges, including five felonies, as police say he and his friends were caught using stolen credit cards in connection with a series of vehicle break-ins in Rifle, Colorado.
He previously admitted that he understands why former President Donald Trump endorsed Boebert, but he thinks Colorado voters want someone who does not have as much personal drama.
‘I still just don’t think the electorate is going to go for it despite the fact that they are very strong supporters of Donald Trump for president,’ he said. ‘I don’t think that completely exonerates her from the carpet-bagging and the seat-swapping.’
Holtorf views Boebert’s decision to abandon the third distract in the upcoming election as an act of cowardice.
‘In the world I grew up in if you’ve got a good fight and you’re standing behind your principles in that fight, then you need to stand and fight,’ he said. You don’t cut and run. Lauren Boebert has cut and run.’
Students stand guard around the statue of George Washington at University Yard on Wednesday after Lauren Boebert demanded the Palestinian flag be pulled down
Boebert, pictured Wednesday, tried to rip down the Palestinian flag that had been draped over the statue as she stated: ‘This is America, and that s**t needs to come down.’
The protesters, who continue to occupy a ‘liberation camp’ that they erected last week, repeatedly chanted ‘ Beetlejuice ‘ at the Congresswoman as her security detail led her through the campus. They also sang Darth Vader’s theme from Star Wars
Holtorf’s latest attack on Boebert came just one day after protestors screamed, jeered and waved recording cell phones in her face as she and fellow lawmakers toured through George Washington University’s pro-Gaza encampment.
Boebert visited site Wednesday with Reps. Byron Donalds (R-FL), Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL), and James Comer (R-KY).
As she was escorted through the campus by her security detail, students repeatedly shouted ‘Beetlejuice’ at her, seemingly a reference to her debauchery and obnoxiousness at performance of the musical Beetlejuice in Denver last September.
She was caught heavy-petting with her boyfriend Quinn Gallagher, waving her hands, singing loudly, photographing the show, taking selfies with the flash on, and vaping during the performance.
As she surveyed the campus Wednesday, Boebert was filmed trying to rip a Palestinian flag off of a statue, but was ultimately unsuccessful in doing so.
She branded the protesters nd their ‘2024 “Summer of Love”‘ as ‘very disrespectful’ and criticised them for disrupting other students’ learning.
‘It’s time that Mayor [Muriel] Bowser gets aggressive in keeping safety here on this campus and the surrounding perimeter,’ she told the demonstration, The Daily Beast reported.
As the crowd chanted ‘Free, free Palestine’, Boebert reportedly said: ‘We bless Israel! Those who bless Israel shall be blessed!’
She added: ‘Not only is this disgusting but let me be clear: Almost every single person in this so-called ‘liberated zone’ would be eviscerated by the very terrorists you are standing here supporting.’

The lawmakers’ visit was a show of force by House Oversight Committee Republicans who came to oversee the campus’ encampment to discern its impact on DC and student life.
‘The House Oversight Committee is deeply concerned over reports indicating the DC Metropolitan Police Department rejected George Washington University’s request for help in removing the radical, antisemitic, and unlawful protestors occupying the campus and surrounding public lands,’ Chairman James Comer said in a statement prior to the visit.
The committee has requested that DC Mayor Muriel Bowser and members of the DC Metropolitan Police (MPD) testify in a hearing May 8 on the student encampment and the city’s response to the school’s plea for help.
According to reports, MPD refused to intervene with the encampment despite requests from GWU to do so.
However, MPD has continuously been around to direct traffic, close streets as necessary and instruct passers-by and protestors as needed.
