Rep. Lauren Boebert’s (R-CO) Shooters Grill shuttered its doors on Wednesday after years of operation due to a lack of a lease.
Boebert’s new landlord, Milken Enterprises, informed her that her lease wouldn’t be renewed in June.
Boebert allegedly called to plead, but short of buying the building ourselves, there wasn’t really much area for negotiation or a place to find a solution.
She asserted that she wasn’t being evicted, “the lease is not being renewed — that’s a big difference.”
On a chalkboard near the doorway of Shooter’s Grill as of Wednesday, it read: “Thanks for the support. Stay Tuned #Covfefe” Trump accidentally used the hashtag in a tweet, which has been mocked for years. What it has to do with Boebert’s restaurant is unknown.
Boebert wants to maintain her professional shooting brand even though she is unsure of her career’s next steps.
“We would just dramatically scale it back, because, obviously, we’re not in our building,” she said. “It may look like a Shooters coffee shop with pastries and some easy breakfast sandwiches and merchandise.”
Boebert claimed that she opened the eatery so that female inmates at the Garfield County Jail might “exchange their shame for glory” by working there.
Only until Boebert claimed that someone had supposedly been beaten to death in front of the building did the gun and shooting theme emerge. In actuality, methamphetamine overdose caused the person’s death.
“Most carry semi-automatics because that’s what we practiced with,” Boebert said.
Boebert made headlines earlier this week after some Twitter users perceived it as an inflammatory comment she tweeted, Republican lawmaker Lauren Boebert was reported to the FBI on Sunday.
We need to terminate this Presidency.
End quote. Repeat the line.

“We need to terminate this presidency,” she wrote, adding: “End quote. Repeat the line.”
She was making fun of President Joe Biden, who last week accidentally said “presidency” instead of “pregnancy” when discussing the right to an abortion.
The president stated on July 8 that a kid who was allegedly forced to go from Ohio to Indiana for an abortion was “Ten years old and she was forced to travel out of the state to Indiana to seek to terminate the presidency and maybe save her life.”
In light of the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn the important abortion rights ruling Roe v. Wade, he said this while announcing that he had signed an executive order directing federal agencies to carry out a number of initiatives to protect women’s right to access reproductive healthcare in the United States.
The order gives each US state the ability to determine its own policies around reproductive healthcare.
The presidency ought to be “terminated,” Boebert tweeted shortly after the president’s blunder. The FBI, Secret Service, and Justice Department received reports about the tweet from individuals on social media.
“This person continues to threaten the life of the president after taking action on Jan 6 to overthrow a valid election and government… Please take action,” another user shared.

One user called Boebert a “white supremacist terrorist” and said she is “threatening the president”.
“Hey @fbi @January6thCmte @DOJPH you might want to interview this person, sounds like a threat to me,” wrote another.
Another shared, “Well, that sure sounds like a threat against the legitimately elected President of the United States, Squeaky,” adding: “Lock her up, @FBI. End quote. Repeat the line with the rest of the Sedition Caucus #LouderThanMAGA”.
