Rep. Lauren Boebert Says She’s a NO Vote for $200 Billion War Supplemental: “I am Tired of the Industrial War Complex Getting All of Our Hard-Earned Tax Dollars”

Rep. Lauren Boebert has declared she will not support any new war supplemental spending, signaling a growing rebellion inside the GOP.

Boebert flatly rejected the idea of approving additional funding tied to escalating tensions involving Iran, making it clear her position is non-negotiable.

In a fiery statement, she blasted what she described as the “industrial war complex” draining American resources while everyday citizens struggle.

When asked whether the U.S. should disengage from Iran, Boebert deferred: “That’s up to the president.”

Lauren Boebert:
I will not vote for a war supplemental. No—I am a no. I’ve already told leadership I am a no on any war supplementals. I am so tired of spending money elsewhere. I am tired of the industrial war complex getting all of our hard-earned tax dollars.

I have folks in Colorado who can’t afford to live. We need America First policies right now—and I’m not doing that. We need the Save America Act, FISA with warrants.

There’s a lot of hard lines that I have right now, and we’ve got to get our act together. If we want to keep this majority, the path that we’re going doesn’t look very promising.

Reporter:
Should the administration get out of Iran?

Lauren Boebert:
That’s up to the president.

Her remarks come as the Pentagon is seeking massive additional funding for ongoing military operations tied to Iran.

CNBC reported:

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Thursday that the Pentagon’s reported $200 billion budget request for Iran war funding “could move.”

“It takes money to kill bad guys,” Hegseth said at a press briefing when asked to confirm the figure, which The Washington Post first reported Wednesday evening.

“We’re going back to Congress and our folks there to ensure that we’re properly funded,” Hegseth said.

The acknowledgment that a massive supplemental request is in the offing could signal that the U.S. — which has spent roughly $1 billion per day on the war so far, per some estimates — is preparing for a longer fight than the administration’s previously floated four-to-six-week timeline.

Hegseth on Thursday declined to say when the U.S. expects to achieve its objectives in Iran.

“It will be at the president’s choosing, ultimately, where we say, ‘Hey, we’ve achieved what we need to on behalf of the American people to ensure our security,’” he said. “So no time set on that, but we’re very much on track.”
