Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Co.) lashed out on a Fox News Digital reporter who questioned her about an allegation that she had an affair with Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.). “One of his exes is making headlines, saying that you guys—,” the reporter began in a video published Sunday by Fox News Digital. Boebert immediately cut him off before unleashing profanity. “Fuck you, first of all!” Boebert responded. “If you’re gonna bring me into this, like, this sexist stuff is, like, out of control. So there’s your clickbait that you were looking for. I don’t want to talk about anybody’s exes and the crazy shit that they do.” The reporter appeared to be referencing claims made by former congressional aide Cynthia West, who dated Massie, during an interview last month with far-right political activist and MAGA devotee Laura Loomer. In an interview on Loomer’s podcast “Loomer Unleashed” on May 19, West alleged Massie “bragged” to her about a sexual encounter with Boebert following the death of his first wife, Rhonda Howard Massie, who died in June 2024. West did not specify if Massie’s alleged sexual encounter with Boebert occurred during his current marriage to Carolyn Moffa, whom he married in October 2025. Offices for Boebert and Massie didn’t immediately respond to HuffPost’s requests for comment. Boebert’s expletive response to the Fox News Digital reporter came after the MAGA stalwart was asked about Massie announcing last month that he filed paperwork to campaign for his U.S. House seat in 2028 after losing the Republican primary to challenger Ed Gallrein, who was backed by President Donald Trump. “He filed for something,” Boebert told the reporter. “He didn’t specify what, and I don’t know if he’s going to move forward with that or not. I don’t know. Hopefully he leaves here and makes some money.” Watch a clip of Boebert’s outburst below. "F--- you, first of all!"Rep.
