Republican Congresswoman Lauren Boebert was ranting about the ‘Biden crime family’ the same day her 18-year-old son was arrested for 22 felonies.
Tyler Boebert, a father of one, was arrested around 2:30 pm Wednesday in the city of Rifle, Colorado, his mother’s congressional district.
“The Biden crime family will go down in history as the most corrupt family in the history of the United States,” the Republican legislator wrote on her Instagram on the day of her son’s arrest.
It is unclear whether Boebert already knew that her oldest son is charged with four counts of criminal possession of a financial device, three counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor and three counts of theft under $300.
The other charges range from four felony counts of criminal possession of identification, one felony count of conspiracy to commit a felony and more than 15 different misdemeanors and lesser charges.
The 18-year-old son of Colorado Congresswoman Lauren Boebert was arrested Wednesday afternoon and faces 22 charges in connection with a series of vehicle burglaries and property theft.
Tyler Boebert was arrested around 2:30 p.m. Wednesday, according to police in the city of Rifle, Colorado.
Many have taken to social media to point out what they see as hypocrisy on the part of Boebert, who has often gone after President Biden’s son Hunter over his addiction issues.
One reviewer wrote: “You misspelled the Boebert crime family.”
‘Lauren Boebert posted this before or after her son Tyler was arrested?’ An X user asked about the Republican’s post against the Biden family.
Popular X user Ed Krassenstein wrote: ‘Will Republicans now demand that Lauren Boebert be impeached? Will they publicly support the disclosure of her son’s private laptop?
Boebert revealed last year that Tyler, then 17, was going to be a father, making her a grandmother at the age of just 36.
“Obviously, I’m a Christian and there are standards we like to uphold, but none of us do it perfectly,” she said when asked if teen pregnancy “challenged” any of her conservative beliefs.
“We can criticize what the Bible says is right and wrong, but I think just having that heart position of wanting to serve God is very important.”
On Wednesday, local police cited the recent spate of vehicle break-ins and property thefts in the city.
The Rifle Police Department posted on its Facebook page Wednesday that the investigation is ongoing.
DailyMail.com has contacted a spokesperson for Congresswoman Boebert for comment.
This is not the first time the younger Boebert, who shares a son with an ex-girlfriend, has faced controversy.
“The Biden crime family will go down in history as the most corrupt family in the history of the United States,” the Republican legislator wrote on her Instagram on the day of her son’s arrest.

The Boerberts in better times, with the couple’s four children, including Tyler (center, back row), who accused his father of physical abuse.
In April of last year, a friend of Tyler’s alleged that an accident Tyler was driving in left him with multiple concussions and a debilitating hand injury, and accused his in-laws of covering it up.
Noble D’Amato, 19, who was hospitalized with concussions and a severely lacerated hand after Tyler, now 18, took a curve too fast and rolled his father’s pickup truck into a creek bed at 11 :30 pm on September 17, 2022.
D’Amato alleged that the injuries prevented him from continuing his welding career.
“I still have problems with my hand,” he told Westword, a Denver-based publication. “They almost cut off my thumb. It kept me from getting a welding job because I can’t hold a TIG torch anymore. Now I’m a personal care provider.’
D’Amato says the younger Boebert was “stone sober” at the time of the crash. “And he still fooled us,” D’Amato said. ‘That shows how much he doesn’t care. He drove fucking fast.
His backpack allegedly contained over-the-counter Xanax pills and a ‘silver marijuana grinder with a small amount of marijuana,’ which led to the 19-year-old being charged with unlawful possession of a schedule IV controlled substance and drug paraphernalia.
Boebert has been plagued by scandal since her debauchery and obnoxiousness at a performance of the musical Beetlejuice in September.
‘I remember waking up with blood coming out of my hand. I put my hands up in the air to protect myself and got really hurt on the window or something. “I was glad to be alive,” D’Amato said.
Tyler, Westword reported, received a reckless driving ticket, which was later reduced to a “defective vehicle headlights” ticket after the teen accepted a plea deal.
He had to go through a court-ordered driving school, called ‘I Live at 25,’ and attend a court hearing on Monday, which is how news of the accident broke.
Boebert’s congressional office angered D’Amato by issuing a statement to Westword, downplaying her injuries in an April 4 statement.
The young man also had to deal with an allegedly abusive father, from whom Congresswoman Boebert obtained a restraining order earlier this month.
Lauren, 37, and Jayson, 43, married in 2005 and split in 2023, but the couple still made headlines during what appears to be a difficult split.
In January, Jayson was arrested and charged just days after the couple was involved in a domestic violence incident at a Colorado restaurant.
A few days later, he allegedly assaulted Tyler during an altercation over the laundry room at their home in Silt, Colorado, an arrest warrant revealed.
