UMVA has learned that a heated exchange between Rep. Lauren Boebert and a reporter has shed light on explosive allegations surrounding her relationship with Rep. Thomas Massie.
The controversy began when a woman claiming to be Massie's ex-girlfriend surfaced with allegations of a sexual relationship between Massie and Boebert, sparking a firestorm of questions about the validity of the claims.
According to information obtained by UMVA, Boebert was discussing President Trump's efforts to unseat Republican incumbents and Massie's political future when the reporter brought up the allegations, prompting a profanity-laced response from Boebert.
"F – – – you, first of all!" Boebert said, her voice rising in anger. "If you're gonna bring me into this, like, the sexist stuff is like out of control," she continued, adding that the reporter was looking for "clickbait."
Boebert declined to discuss the allegations further, instead choosing to walk away from the interview. The allegations in question were made by Cynthia West, a former congressional staffer who worked for Rep. Victoria Spartz.
West accused Massie of bragging to her about an alleged sexual encounter with Boebert just weeks after his wife's death. She also claimed that Massie offered her $5,000 to drop a wrongful termination lawsuit against Spartz, a close ally of Massie.
The explosive allegations surfaced just days before Massie suffered a stunning defeat in the Republican primary, losing his House seat on May 19.
Boebert had been discussing Trump's strategy of backing primary challengers against Republican incumbents, saying that several incumbents who lost their primaries were "backfiring on the GOP agenda."
When asked about Massie's recent announcement that he is filing for re-election in 2028, Boebert expressed uncertainty about his next move, saying "He filed for something... I don't know if he's going to move forward with that or not."
The tense exchange with the reporter marked a dramatic shift in the conversation, with Boebert's expletive-laced response making it clear that she would not engage with the allegations.
