After learning her electoral fate Friday afternoon, outgoing Colorado congresswoman Lauren Boebert decided she wasn’t done stoking conspiracy theories.

Boebert, 39, posted a long-winded farewell message to her constituents in Colorado’s 4th Congressional District on X just after 5 p.m. on Friday, after conceding she had lost her re-election bid to Democrat Eileen Laubacher.

Her post drew responses from loyal supporters, with one posting a picture of himself with Boebert in happier times. He was holding a sign that read “Can’t buy KY.”

Boebert responded to the post just before 9:30 p.m. that night. “Unfortunately, we were all wrong, races can be baught [sic],” she replied, drawing a wave of ridicule.

“Baught? You have to override the autocorrect for that one, the A and the O are on different sides of the keyboard, how’d you pull this off?” wrote one X user.

Others took aim at Boebert’s suggestion that money had determined the election’s outcome.

“You lost because America just said FU to MAGA. At this point, can’t you just be honest?!” one user asked.

“Apparently not so much; all that GOP/MAGA money didn’t buy anything except a blue wave!” another replied.

Boebert had already raised the issue of election integrity during her final interview before her district was called on Friday afternoon.
