Lauren Boebert is lobbying Donald Trump for an important post in his cabinet if he is to win the November election.
First elected in 2020, Lauren Boebert has largely embarrassed the GOP. Things got so bad that she had to leave her district for a redder area.
What Boebert does have going for her, though, is her undying loyalty to Donald Trump which. The Rep. apparently thinks that has won her some points. On Thursday, she lobbied for the former President to name her Secretary of the Interior.
She said on a podcast, "I think Lauren Boebert needs to be Secretary of the Interior. President Trump, I would like to be Secretary of the Interior. Public lands are something that are very dear to me, and I've spent a lot of time on our tribal lands with our chairman and our council members."
Boebert continued, "I am pro-fossil fuels oil and gas and I especially want to explore nuclear. But I think that our tribal lands are impacted severely when we are shutting down our coal-fired energy plants."
The Colorado Rep. closed:
"We have a lot of drilling that takes place and I believe that that is a cleaner way to take care of the environment and extract those resources that we have been blessed with to use what's given to us by the earth to produce this energy in a clean and efficient way rather than just covering it up with solar panels and wind turbines killing so many vital species."
