The political activist who filed a federal defamation lawsuit against Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert vowed to seek perjury charges against the MAGA mouthpiece for allegedly making a fact-challenged declaration in federal court, RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned.

David B. Wheeler, the head of the political action committee (PAC) American Muckrakers, charged the two-term Republican allegedly fibbed in the sworn statement seeking to dismiss the case — and he’s eager to grill Boebert in an all-encompassing deposition.

"We intend to refer Boebert to the appropriate authorities when we prove she lied on the affidavit she attached to her motion to dismiss," Wheeler exclusively told RadarOnline.com. "We're going to hold her feet to the fire…We’re going to ask her on the record, under the penalty of perjury.”

"I've had lawyers say they would pay me to be in the room for Boebert's deposition" he added. "This will be the mother of all depositions because she’s opened so many cans of worms. We're going to talk about Jan. 6th, we're going to talk about abortions and everything else.”

As RadarOnline.com reported, Boebert was forced to declare she has “never been a drug addict or stripper” in the sensational lawsuit in Colorado federal court where she is accused of slandering Wheeler on television news by refuting his allegations.

I don't think they're trying to shame her as much as point out she's a flaming hypocrite and simply practicing natural conservatism "there is an in group which the laws protect but do not bind, and there is an out group that laws bind but do not protect."

Shame, even shame for hypocrisy, does nothing to the conservatives, however, because they're fucking shameless. I think this is rather to show undecided voters exactly how shameless they are. It's not necessarily meant to be like "she's bad for having an abortion" but rather "she's bad for wanting to ban abortion for others while she thinks it's okay for her."
