President Joe Biden blew your “Brandon Dark” alter ego as he made a quick joke at the Rep’s expense. Lauren Boebert (R-Colorado), who has been one of his biggest critics in Congress.
Jordy Meiselas of Progressive Media MeidasTouch Network pointed out to Biden that Boebert abandoned his voters to run for a different seat shortly after the president visited his district last year.
“Is this a coincidence or is Dark Brandon at work?” Meiselas asked Biden in Pittsburgh last week.
“That’s confidential,” Biden said with a laugh.

Boebert held what was once considered a safe Republican seat and was widely expected to run for re-election in 2022. FiveThirtyEight had expected she won by almost 14 percentage points.
But voters in her district seemed to be tired of her far-right antics, and she ended up defeating Democratic challenger Adam Frisch by just 0.16 points.
Rather than face a rematch with Frisch, Boebert posted bail in his current district to operate in what is expected to be an even safer district. In a strange interview in January, she guilty actors Barbara Streisand It is Ryan Reynolds for forcing her to make the move.
However, early signs suggest that she may also be experiencing difficulties in that new district. She finished fifth in a poll earlier this year.
She has also been dogged by personal scandals – including salacious headlines after she was ejected from a performance of the musical “Beetlejuice” due to inappropriate behavior – and family issues, such as arrest of his adult son on multiple trespassing and robbery charges earlier this year.
