Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) finished a shocking fifth in a Republican straw poll for the new congressional seat shes seeking and the result reverberated through the weekend.

As Boeberts name continued to trend on X Sunday, Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) took a shot at the far-right lawmaker.

Before I go to bed, I thought it would only be fitting to send thoughts & prayers to my colleague, Lauren Boebert, Crockett wrote on the former Twitter. Its my understanding that she placed 5th in her first straw poll of the election cycle. Now how many of yall think BoBo gonna try to convince us that polls dont matter of course unless they are trash for Biden & great for Trump!

In a GOP primary debate on Thursday, Boebert fended off opponents claims that shes a carpetbagger after she entered the race in another district for a better chance at winning . Boebert narrowly won the third district in the 2022 election, prompting her reelection shift to the fourth district.

A straw poll conducted afterward indicated shes potentially in for some rough sledding, however.

Boebert got just 10% of the vote in a fifth-place finish, drawing gasps in the room, Colorado Politics reported .

A casual poll conducted among a reported 117 participants at the hall where the debate took place isnt exactly political science, but it got the internet buzzing.

The Republicans against Trump X account even went so far as to declare, Shes finished.
