LAUREN Boebert’s communications director has QUIT over the US Capitol riots – just two weeks after the gun-toting Congresswoman was sworn in.
Ben Goldey confirmed his resignation from Colorado Rep s team in a statement to on Saturday.
It came after Trump told rally-goers to go to Congress and "fight like hell."
In the violent scenes that unfolded, five people, including a Capitol police officer, were killed.
"Metal detectors outside of the House would not have stopped the violence we saw last week - it’s just another political stunt by Speaker Pelosi," Boebert added.
In another tweet, she said: "We were not in need of more metal detectors when we were locked in the Chambers on the 6th."
Boebert owns the restaurant Shooters Grill in Rifle, Colorado.
Staff there are encouraged to openly carry firearms.
During House debates on Wednesday, Boebert slammed "bull crap" she blamed Democrats for dividing the nation, and she said she would not vote to impeach Trump.
