Republican Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert was sued on Sunday after she reportedly blocked a former state representative on Twitter who demanded her removal from office.

Bri Buentello, a Democrat from Colorado, filed suit in Denver after she alleged the first-term Republican congresswoman blocked her account earlier in the month. Buentello purportedly called to recall Boebert in the aftermath of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot that left five people dead, including one police officer.
