Lauren Boebert, the Republican candidate for the US House of Representatives seat in Colorado's 3rd Congressional District, addresses supporters during a campaign rally in Delta, Colorado on October 10, 2020. - Boebert's meteoric rise into politics began in September 2019 when she confronted US Democratic presidential candidate Beto ORourke at a campaign rally and stated "Hell no, youre not!" to his proposed mandatory buyback of both AR-15 and AK-47 semi-automatic weapons. With her "Pro-Freedom, Pro-Guns, Pro-Constitution, Pro-Energy, Pro-Life, Pro-Colorado, Pro-America" platform, Boebert defeated 5-term incumbent US Rep. Scott Tipton in Colorado's GOP primary, and is now challenged by former Colorado state lawmaker Democratic candidate Diane Mitsch Bush. A win by Boebert in the November election, would keep Colorado's 3rd Congressional District in the GOP hands. Colorado's 3rd Congressional District which encompasses 29 counties and represents 47 percent of Colorado's geographic territory is the 15th-largest district in the US.

A GOP representative challenged the Capitol’s focus prior to Friday’s attack. Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) took to Twitter Friday to question whether the FBI and DHS were too focused on “woke training” to foresee a potential threat from the suspect.

Sources are identifying the Capitol attacker from today as a follower of the Nation of Islam. This is obvious from his reported FB page.

Did the FBI or DHS know this person was a threat or were they too busy doing woke training to actually bother with it?

This came as several Republicans have been critical of Biden for prioritizing a progressive environment at the expense of national security.

An Islamic terrorist did something (your words) to a Capitol Police Officer on Good Friday.

Stop trying to use an Islamic terrorist attack to destroy our Second Amendment rights.

And if you support police, then don’t defund them. https://t.co/GnvU8i1qIo

In the meantime, while the event seems to be isolated, the suspect identified himself as a follower of the Nation of Islam on Facebook prior to the attack that left one officer dead.
