‘F*ck You, First Of All’: Lauren Boebert Goes Off On Reporter When Asked About Alleged Affair With Thomas Massie

Republican Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert snapped at a reporter who pressed her on a rumored sexual relationship with former Republican Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie.

“F*ck you, first of all!” Boebert told a reporter when he raised claims made by a woman describing herself as Massie’s ex-girlfriend, according to video from Fox News Digital. The congresswoman then accused the reporter of chasing a cheap story. “If you’re gonna bring me into this, like, the sexist stuff is like out of control,” she said. “So there’s your clickbait that you were looking for.” She refused to say anything more and left the interview.

The blowup arrived at the tail end of a conversation about President Donald Trump’s push to oust Republican incumbents and what lies ahead for Massie, according to Fox News Digital. Boebert had been weighing in on those races when the reporter shifted to the relationship rumors. (RELATED: Boebert Tries Having It Both Ways Endorsing Massie Over Trump Candidate)

A former congressional aide named Cynthia West is the lone source behind the affair claim, alleging Massie boasted to her that he slept with Boebert in the weeks following his wife’s death, according to Fox News Digital. No evidence has surfaced to back the assertion, and it remains unverified.

West leveled a separate accusation that Massie dangled $5,000 to make her drop a wrongful termination complaint, which the congressman flatly rejected. He branded her claims “false and unsubstantiated” and “an obvious attempt to influence the outcome of this election,” according to Newsweek. West is now seeking a school board seat in Okaloosa County, Florida.

Massie posted his denial on X and stopped short of naming West. “All of the claims of inappropriate conduct are false. I’ve never offered anyone money in exchange for their silence. I report all of my farm income, including cash, to the IRS,” he wrote on X. He added, “There are no ethics claims filed against me, nor have there ever been any claims filed against me in my 14 years in office.” He went on to lose his May 19 primary to Ed Gallrein, a challenger Trump endorsed last October.

Boebert had stumped for Massie and never wavered in her public support, even after Trump went after her on Truth Social.
