Update 1/9/2023
Katie Lehr is not very active on Safer Boulder’s Slack workspace, but she has shared her far-right political beliefs on other platforms like Twitter and YouTube.
In January, 2017, Katie harassed anti-fascist demonstrators who were protesting a speaking an event organized by the CU College Republicans of neo-Nazi pedophilia apologist
Milo Yiannopoulos at the University of Colorado, Boulder. Katie uploaded videos of the protest to her YouTube account freebouldercounty lehr
This Twitter thread provides some background on Milo Yiannopoulos’ political beliefs:
Milo Yiannopoulos is a neo-Nazi. His old Instagram account contained photos of him wearing the Iron Cross (an old symbol associated w/ German military & long-beloved by neo-Nazis) and tenderly cradling some copies of Hitler books. He’s wearing the same tacky ring in those photos. pic.twitter.com/jRXGRZCo7W

On Katie Lehr’s deleted Twitter account, thanks to Archive.org, we can find bigoted posts that sound just like what would come out of Milo Yiannopoulos’ mouth.
In this post, Katie promotes an unfounded anti-Semitic conspiracy theory that the Odessa mass shooter was Jewish.
HOAX ALERT:
The image on the left is making the rounds on anti-semitic, far right social media.
It's a fake MyLife profile, doctored to make it look like Odessa shooter Seth Ator was a Jewish Democrat.

In this post, Katie makes an intentionally transphobic (and unscientific) remark by crudely saying gender is determined by one’s genitals.
Transphobic comments can be found throughout her post history, which you can scrub through here.
In this Tweet, Katie makes the racist argument that violence among Black communities in Chicago is caused by individual moral failings. In order to be logically consistent, this argument requires Black communities in Chicago to be inherently (genetically or otherwise) inferior to explain widespread individual moral aptitude along racial lines.
Katie’s social media handles mention “Free Boulder County“, which is a blog she wrote one post for.
