She definitely nailed something in that theater.
HOLY CRAP you're not kidding (vaguely NSFW)
she’s provided so much material for twitter today, this guy has been on a roll
meanwhile, i respect it
I don't think I've ever seen this at a drag show.
I've seen a massive black man in a lovely dress and heels pick up a bachelorette, position her so she's straddling him while he's still standing, and vigorously dry-hump her in time with the music while continuing to sing the song at the top of his lungs, while her friends all cheered. I found that far less off-putting than this titty fondle.
Look at the people sitting right next to them watching the show. This is legitimately one of the most uncouth things I've ever seen.
What specifically is she apologizing for?
Blowing a giant vape cloud in on someone’s head, smoking in front of a pregnant woman, jacking off a guy in public, dancing in a theater where everyone is sitting, flipping off the ushers, or lying about all of that stuff because she thought it wasn’t on camera?
jacking off a guy in public
Most people would be getting prosecuted for this
She also had a boob out, so there ought to be an indecent exposure charge if nothing else.
Can we add the possibility of snorting a mile of coke acting like that? Surely coke was involved. I'm not covering for her actions but ALL THAT (gesturing widely) has definite coke energy.
what values?
Hate and fear mongering.
The past few days have been difficult and humbling, and I’m truly sorry for the unwanted attention my Sunday evening in Denver has brought to the community
“I’m sorry I got caught”
Absolutely. Before the video, she lied about it and downplayed it and accused others about falsifying the accusations. Suddenly there's video and now she "apologizes" (she didn't really, it was a fake apology, she didn't say she's sorry for what she did, she basic said she's sorry others found it offensive, that's not an apology) and she's entirely quiet on all the lying she did beforehand about saying it was overblown.
She didn't even really say she was sorry others found it offensive, it came off as saying she was sorry she got caught. I suppose that shouldn't be surprising given the GQP. None of them have any shame and are only "sorry" when they get caught.
Republican voters need to stop littering our politics with their trash.
Have you seen some of those school board videos? This is representative democracy in practice.
How to describe the Boebert video. A sampling
NYT: " touching and carrying on with her date"
POLITICO: "appears to show Boebert and her male companion fondling each other sexually"
NYP: "groped ‘Beetlejuice’ date in heavy-petting session"
GUARDIAN: "eagerly groping each other"
SALON: "fiddling with each other's privates"
Boobert got her hooters honked while she gave him the ole over the trouser arouser
Fox news: Lauren Boebert removed from ‘Beetlejuice’ performance in Colorado after laughing and singing loudly
Lol, their article is the most obvious case of burying the lede I've ever seen. No mention of the video until the last paragraph where it describes as "touching her partner"
Translation:
The optics of my public sexual act is super bad for my campgain strategy of yelling about the existence of trans people as inherently a public sexual act.
Honestly tho, how can you forget that you were vaping and a pregnant lady behind you was directly complaining to you about it? Didn't remember, my ass. (edit: and your date offers this pregnant lady an alcoholic drink. Can see why he's into her, they are both really dumb.)
Lot of politicians suffer from amnesia, especially if they are in a hearing.
Don't forget the handjobs in public places.
or being questioned by law enforcement
I hate everything about her, but I'm sure she's a nutter in the sack.
I don’t know, she was groomed straight out of high school into her molester’s bed. She strikes me as enthusiastic but otherwise very awkward.
I wouldn't touch that with someone else's 10' pole.
Based on the video, it looked like both of them were just kind of mashing stuff around. I wouldn't sleep with her or her date.
And I could actually get into all the degrading things I normally have no interest in, because I could view her like most Republicans view all women.
Republicans on public sex with children present
she just had a moment of temptation, re-elect her.
Republicans on a democrat standing on the street doing nothing
IMPEEEEECHHH!!! SINNER!!!! Think about the children who WONT see!!!
Her values is calling black people the n word, underaged marriage, bribery, and whatever culture war is going on that week.
She went on to say she values her ability to not get caught on video.
"I'm sorry that I didn't know there was video evidence."
I guess dude didn't finish... some values!
👏LOCK👏HER👏UP👏LOCK👏HER👏UP👏
Seriously! She exposed herself and performed a sex act in front of children. She is an actual sexual predator and needs to be behind bars, full stop.
I’m just saying, this lady could have gone into porn, made a killing, kept her mouth shut, and been perfectly fine.
But she wanted power without understanding what that entails.
How does one fall short of something that is infinitely lacking in stature?
" I'm sorry I'm an asshole!"
“No, you are not. You are sorry that you were caught on tape!”
Falling short of ones values is only possible if you actually have values. Which she doesn't.
Sigh. Her star is falling and she needs the publicity to stay relevant. I think she got booted out of some Nazi caucus or such. This "incident" was planned and she is getting what she wants. Indian chuds on /pol/ have a mummy fetish for her.
