It already didn’t look great for Lauren Boebert when she got kicked out of a Denver theater for being disruptive during a performance of the Beetlejuice musical — or when video emerged of the voluble Republican congresswoman being escorted out of the theater. But that was hardly the end of this saga. A second video showed Boebert vaping in front of a pregnant woman, who claimed that the lawmaker refused to stop doing so when asked. The story really went nuclear when a third surveillance video leaked, showing that Boebert and her date were getting awfully comfortable with each other during the show.
Unfortunately for Boebert’s campaign to rebrand as a normal lawmaker, more juicy details keep coming out. Boebert — who has condemned drag shows in the past — was co-groping at Beetlejuice with an Aspen bar owner whose establishment hosts drag shows and participates in an event called Aspen Gay Ski Week. “I learned to check party affiliations before you go on a date,” Boebert told TMZ, although the pair have been reportedly seeing each other for months now.
In an interview with OAN, Boebert, who has been arrested four times, said that she is “very known for having an animated personality.” But the private incident in public is having a big impact on her professional life, distracting from her effort to impeach President Biden. Days after the incident, she was removed from the list of speakers for the Texas Youth Summit later this month.
At least she has her defenders. In a long Facebook post published Monday, Boebert’s ex-husband, Jayson, said he shared the blame for the incident, claiming that his acts of cheating “broke her down.” While it’s odd to have your recent ex-husband come to your defense for getting handsy in public, Jayson Boebert is something of an expert in this realm, having once been arrested for exposing himself to a teenager at a bowling alley.
You’re both saying it’s only been six hours so we should wait to talk about it, and that it’s been long enough that we should just move on?…
No, that’s not even remotely what’s being said.
You don’t read sarcasm very well, do you?
I don’t read sarcasm very well?
Maybe you don’t type sarcasm very well.
You’re the one who didn’t understand the first comment, has nothing to do with me.
When he said “six hours ago” and “give it a sec”, he didn’t literally mean it had only been six hours anymore than he literally meant to give it one more second. It was a general relative expression of time, in that Boebert and co seem to think this should have all blown over by now, because it was way back then.
If you don’t understand now, I cannot help you further.
I think this conversation proves that Poe's law applies to politics as well as religion.
