President Trump congratulated pro-gun businesswoman Lauren Boebert late Tuesday night after she defeated Rep. Scott Tipton, who had represented his Colorado district for five terms in Congress.
“Congratulations on a really great win!” Trump tweeted. The president's message linked to a May post from her Twitter account where she described herself as a tough fighter against socialism and advocate for the Second Amendment.
“I refuse to send my children into a socialist nation," the mother of four said. "Their freedom IS my motivator! Threaten the liberty of Americans, and I’ll be there to hold you accountable! #USHouse #CO03 #HELLNObeto @BetoORourke.”
Boebert -- owner of Shooters Grill in Rifle, Colo. -- had confronted and questioned former U.S. Rep. Beto O'Rourke of Texas, when he was a Democratic presidential candidate, on suggestions he made regarding confiscating guns.
She told Fox News in an interview at the time that she drove for three hours to see O'Rourke with her "Glock on her hip" and told him: "'Hell no, you're not going to take our guns.'"
She will run in November's general election against Diane Mitsch Bush, who won the Democratic nomination Tuesday after defeating James Iacino. Click here for more.
