   Colorado GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert on Thursday joined her teenage son at court   
   for the first time to support him in his criminal theft case — and fired off   
   a tweet bashing Vice President Kamala Harris just before her son faced the   
   judge.   
      
   Tyler Boebert, 19, dressed in a dark-colored suit and tie, appeared before   
   the judge at the Garfield County Courthouse alongside his attorney, William   
   Trent Palmer.   
      
   His mom sat in the first row of the courtroom wearing a yellow dress and   
   heels as Judge John Neiley asked Tyler Boebert and Palmer whether there had   
   been any movement in the case.   
      
   Minutes before her son's case was called, Lauren Boebert posted a message on   
   her official X account at 8:07 a.m. local time, attacking Harris, the   
   Democratic presidential nominee, and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim   
   Walz.   
      
   "Between Kamala Harris' 'I'm speaking' moment yesterday and Tim Walz's   
   stolen valor being exposed, the wheels are beginning to come off the bus.   
   Trump knows how to win. We've got this, MAGA!" read the post, which urged   
   Lauren Boebert's followers to tune into former President Donald Trump's   
   Thursday afternoon press conference.   
      
   By 8:13 a.m., the Republican congresswoman had taken a seat near her son in   
   the courtroom and was seen on a livestream of the hearing typing on her cell   
   phone. As Tyler Boebert stood before Neiley, his mom could also be seen   
   mouthing something to him from the front row.   
      
   Tyler Boebert has had several court appearances since he was arrested by the   
   Rifle Police Department in February in connection to a string of car break-   
   ins and property thefts in Rifle, Colorado. During one of those court   
   appearances, he told the judge he had trouble affording a lawyer to defend   
   him.   
      
   This was the first time Lauren Boebert appeared in court in her son's theft   
   case, though she previously traveled to New York City to show her support   
   for Trump at his criminal hush-money trial earlier this year.   
      
   Boebert's chief of staff didn't immediately return a request for comment   
   about her appearance in court.   
      
   During Tyler Boebert's Thursday court appearance, the judge asked Palmer and   
   a prosecutor whether discussions about the case are ongoing between   
   attorneys. Virginia Sorrell, a deputy district attorney, said that Palmer   
   had sent her a litigation packet, which she needed to review.   
      
   The teen's next court date was set for October 10.   
      
   Tyler Boebert is facing more than a dozen charges, including several felony   
   charges for criminal possession of ID documents.   
      
   He is one of four people accused of breaking into four cars in the city of   
   Rifle and stealing wallets to make purchases at businesses including   
   McDonald's, Starbucks, and gas stations, a police arrest affidavit said.   
      
   At the time of his arrest, Lauren Boebert said in a statement to BI that her   
   son should be "held accountable for poor decisions just like any other   
   citizen."
