Rep. Lauren Boebert is blaming Hollywood for her decision to switch congressional districts.

“We have to shut down the Hollywood elites who are trying to buy my current district,” Boebert told Steve Bannon on his “War Room” podcast on Saturday.

“There has been close to $10 million poured into this district to buy this seat. Colorado’s 3rd District is not for sale,” she continued.

Boebert then named the stars, who she said were backing her rivals.

“When you have Barbra Streisand coming in and donating to the Democrat, when you have Ryan Reynolds coming in and donating to the Democrat, it shows you that Hollywood is trying to buy their way into Congress,” Boebert told Bannon.

    Oh you naive fool, so many congressional elections come down to $3000 from two Hollywood celebrities.

    In fact, every time a Republican loses in a congressional election, you’ll likely find two Hollywood celebrities with one $1500 donation each behind the reason.
