Lauren Boebert, the controversial U.S. Representative from Colorado, has sparked attention after a bikini photo revealing a sizable tattoo on her abdomen resurfaced online. The photo, taken while Boebert was soaking up the sun in Palm Beach, Florida, was shared by Ginger Gaetz, wife of Rep. Matt Gaetz, who posted a series of photos celebrating “confident, healthy, patriotic women” in the Republican Party. The tattoo and the photo have since gone viral, with Ginger’s caption, “We love confident, healthy, patriotic women like Lauren,” gaining widespread attention.
This bikini shot follows a recent trend among conservative women in politics, kicked off by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, who posted a MAGA swimsuit video. Inspired by Luna, Ginger Gaetz shared the photo of Boebert along with other Republican women, promoting a “Make America Spicy Again” message. Boebert and Gaetz have collaborated before, hosting a “Hot Girl Summer” happy hour with the D.C. Young Republicans in June, emphasizing their commitment to promoting a youthful, energetic image within the party.
The reveal of Boebert’s tattoo adds another layer to her public persona, which has often been marked by bold and unapologetic displays of her beliefs. The reaction to the photo underscores the increasingly prominent role that image and social media play in modern politics, particularly within the Republican Party, where figures like Boebert continue to push the boundaries of traditional political norms.
