Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) defended her vote against the bipartisan “Honoring Our PACT Act,” which expanded health benefits for veterans exposed to toxins, stating, “I’m not spending $600 billion forever.” Boebert faced criticism during a debate with Democratic opponent Trisha Calvarese, who accused her of putting veterans last by voting against the bill.
