How tawdry. When I got thrown out of Beetlejuice, The Musical it was for running on stage and shouting “It’s showtime!” as soon as the curtain came up, not some silly spat.

I usually just start reading from the handbook for the recently diseased until I get booted off the stage

I have no idea how anyone could have more than a passing familiarity with that woman and still vote for her. She's truly a trashy human being.

Bobo being a shitty person?

Noooooo… Clearly there must be a mistake

Trashy person doing trashy things.

Jesus, what a fucking d-bag. Conservative standards for their representatives really have taken an inexplicable nose dive in the past ten years.

It’s not inexplicable. This is who they are.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert was escorted out of a Denver theater on Sunday night after several people seated near her in the audience complained she was creating a disturbance.

The theater didn't name Boebert specifically, but the Colorado Republican identified herself by tweeting, "It's true, I did thoroughly enjoy the AMAZING Beetlejuice at the Buell Theatre and I plead guilty to laughing and singing too loud!"

Surveillance footage shared with local news outlets appears to show Boebert, seated next to a man in a suit jacket in row E, towards the front of the 2,800-person theater.

"I can confirm the stunning and salacious rumors: in her personal time, Congresswoman Lauren Boebert is indeed a supporter of the performing arts (gasp!)

"She appreciates the Buell Theatre's strict enforcement of their no photos policy and only wishes the Biden Administration could uphold our border laws as thoroughly and vigorously."

Boebert, who is running for a third term to represent Colorado's third congressional district, is no stranger to run-ins with police and security guards.


The original article contains 582 words, the summary contains 171 words. Saved 71%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

Missing two great parts

The report said the people removed were seen vaping and using a cell phone to record the performance, against theater rules.

...

Boebert turns back several times to speak to security guards as she's escorted through the theater's lobby. According to the incident report, the pair were saying things like "Do you know who I am?," "I am on the board" and "I will be contacting the mayor."
