Former state Rep. Brianna Buentello sued U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert in federal court Sunday, alleging Colorado’s controversial new congresswoman violated Buentello’s free speech rights by blocking her on Twitter following the storming of the U.S. Capitol. The lawsuit, which attorney David Lane said he filed in U.S. District Court in Denver, alleges Boebert, R-Rifle, blocked Buentello, a constituent of Boebert’s who served in the state legislature as a Democrat from Pueblo, after Buentello criticized the congresswoman’s actions as seditious. This prevented Buentello, who was defeated by Republican challenger Stephanie Luck in November, “from viewing her Twitter account, replying to her Tweets or otherwise engaging with those who interact within the replies to her tweets,” according to the lawsuit. People who are blocked by users on Twitter still can view that person’s tweets — if the account is not made private — by logging out of the social media service.
