Representative Lauren Boebert (R-CO) issued a formal denial on Saturday regarding an ethics complaint filed against her. The complaint alleges that the congresswoman engaged in sexual relationships with three of her congressional aides. Such conduct, if proven, would constitute a violation of House ethics rules regarding staff-member relationships.

In her response, Boebert explicitly rejected the claims, stating, “I’m not a lesbian or bisexual, and I have never, ever been in any inappropriate relationship, nor have I ever been sexually involved with any staff.” The allegations have surfaced through a formal filing with the House Ethics Committee, though the specific details regarding the origin or evidence behind the complaint remain limited in public reporting.

While both The Daily Wire and Breitbart acknowledge the existence of the complaint, the outlets differ in their presentation of the story. The Daily Wire focuses heavily on Boebert’s personal rebuttal and her specific denial of the sexual orientation implied by the nature of the allegations. Breitbart’s coverage is more concise, focusing primarily on the fact that a complaint was filed without providing extensive quotes from the congresswoman’s defense. Neither outlet has provided independent verification of the claims made in the ethics filing, nor have they identified the specific individuals or groups behind the complaint. The situation remains an ongoing matter before the House Ethics Committee, which has not yet issued a public determination regarding the validity of the accusations.
