White House rebukes Lauren Boebert for claiming credit for funds she voted against

Buttigieg made history in 2021 as the first openly gay US cabinet secretary. 'Chest-feeding' is a term used by some trans men and non-binary people to describe feeding their newborns from their chest. Boebert wrote a letter to Buttigieg in June 2022 about grant funding for the South Bridge. However, the funding actually came from an infrastructure law passed in 2021, which Boebert voted against. Buttigieg responded, questioning how her support helped the project she claimed credit for. Boebert's reference to chest-feeding in her response to Buttigieg led to backlash, with some accusing her of being homophobic. She has two adopted children with her husband. Users criticized her for mocking Buttigieg, especially given her son's recent arrest for theft. Boebert is now running to replace Rep. Ken Buck in Colorado's 4th Congressional District. Voters are preparing for a primary and a special election to fill Buck's seat. Republican Greg Lopez will run against Democrat Trisha Calvarese in the special election. Six Republicans, including Deborah Flora and Peter Yu, are running for Buck's seat. Boebert is a prominent figure in the race, with some voters supporting her for her loyalty to Trump, while others criticize her controversial behavior. Some voters appreciate her willingness to fight for their interests, while others believe she doesn't behave appropriately as an elected official. Boebert was accused of trying to take credit for funding she voted against for the South Bridge.
