Lauren Boebert suggested that the Clinton Crime Family was responsible for the death of Chris Sign

Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado has suggested that the "Clinton Crime Family" was responsible for the death of local news anchor Christopher Sign.

Sign, an Alabama TV anchor and ex-University of Alabama footage player, was found dead at age 45 in his Scout Trace home on Saturday morning, according to the Hoover Police Department. Lt. Keith Czeskleba confirmed that his passing is currently being investigated as a suicide.

Boebert appeared to blame the "Clinton Crime Syndicate" in a tweet.

"Why is it that so many who cross the Clinton Crime Syndicate end up dead?" she wrote, alongside a clip of Sign promoting his book Secret on the Tarmac in a 2019 Fox News interview.


Sign broke the 2016 story of the secret tarmac meeting at Sky Harbor Airport between former President Bill Clinton and Attorney General Loretta Lynch as he was anchoring the morning show for ABC affiliate KNXV-TV in Phoenix. At the time, Lynch was probing the private email server of Clinton's wife and former Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton.

In the clip shared by Boebert, Sign explained that his family was threatened with death after his involvement in the story.

"My family received significant death threats shortly after breaking this story," he said. "Credit cards hacked. My children, we have codewords, we have secret codewords that they know what to do. That's why I came back to WBMA ABC 33/40 in Birmingham because when I was enduring the death threats it was my former Alabama football family and my teammates, my coaches who circled around me."
