Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) says she’s scrapping any more romantic outings after getting booted out of a “Beetlejuice” performance, exclaiming, “All future date nights have been canceled.”

The Colorado Republican, along with a male companion, was escorted out of a Denver theater last week for vaping, singing and “causing a disturbance” during a performance of “Beetlejuice.” The incident was first reported by The Denver Post.

A Boebert spokesperson initially denied that the lawmaker had been vaping, before video surfaced showing her doing so at the theater.

“It’s always hard whenever there’s gravity put on the voters. I’m here to provide levity, and lift burdens off of people,” Boebert said in an interview with TMZ on Monday. “So anytime that they’re carrying mine, it’s something that you kind of feel deep inside.”

“But ultimately, all future date nights have been canceled. And I learned to check party affiliations before you go on a date,” Boebert — who filed for divorce from her husband in May — quipped, an apparent reference to reports that her date at the “Beetlejuice” performance is a Democrat.

Asked if her dating life with the man was “over,” the 36-year-old congresswoman replied, “We’ve peacefully parted at this time. Great man, great friend. And I wish him all the best.”

“All in all, it was mostly a lovely time and I’ve taken responsibility for my actions,” Boebert said of the controversial incident, which her Democratic challenger, Adam Frisch, slammed as “another notch in the belt of embarrassment.”

“There’s a lot of folks who are certainly understanding, and they understand it was part of my personal life, my private time,” Boebert said. “Something I really indulge in.”

So just... not gonna mention having her tits out being fondled, and jerking a dude off in public around children then, captured live on security cameras...?

Huh. Weird how that just... didnt get mentioned...

[-] M500@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 year ago

Have the images been confirmed? I keep reading this part in comments but not in articles. Is it really true?

[-] Iheardyoubutsowhat@lemmy.world 45 points 1 year ago

You can view the video yourself...hard to dispute what they're doing.

[-] M500@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I had no idea the video was available to the public.

[-] bibliotectress@lemmy.world 29 points 1 year ago

Yeah kinda. You can see her hands in his crotch, although they seem to be over his pants instead of inside then, and he's very handsy with her chichis. https://www.mediaite.com/politics/lauren-boebert-caught-on-cctv-seeming-getting-extremely-handsy-with-man-at-beetlejuice-performance-she-was-booted-from/

Just trying to bring some levity to his pants.

‘Boobs-out Boebert’ behaves blatantly belligerent by bouncing boyfriends balls during Beetlejuice.

Trashy trailer tramp tried traversing troubled truth trove. Tried.

Laughable lawmaker lends her left to LGTBQ+ lover.

[-] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 69 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Huh, I would have never guessed public handjobs to be part of Republican politics. Live and learn I guess.

[-] Player2@sopuli.xyz 16 points 1 year ago

If only that was the worst they did

[-] fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com 2 points 1 year ago

Agreed. This is far from the worst I've read about her. I mean, this happens to good people all the time. It's news because it's, as well put, "another notch."

[-] HandsHurtLoL@kbin.social 15 points 1 year ago

I guess you missed it when the story was broken that apparently Nancy Reagan used to give epic jobbers.

[-] Ducky@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

The throat goat

If only Clinton had called a press conference instead of getting sucked off in the oval office.

[-] Cabrio@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

His only crime was not sharing.

[-] Madison420@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Lol you need to read about Nancy Reagan.

[-] Hackerman_uwu@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Have we forgotten the mysterious wide-stance so soon?

[-] athos77@kbin.social 39 points 1 year ago

All in all, it was mostly a lovely time

Maybe for her and her date, shame they had to ruin the evening for so many other people. For people who claim to be about protecting people from things they don't accidentally want to experience - drag queens, pot, same-sex or different-race people in a relationship - they sure don't seem to understand actual "consent". Which, y'know, apparently involves everyone around them.

and I’ve taken responsibility for my actions.

Really? Cause that's not exactly what I've been seeing here.

[-] TSR55@lemm.ee 32 points 1 year ago

It wouldn’t have anything to do with the fact that now everyone knows that for months she’s been dating a Democrat who owns a bar that’s hosted drag shows?

[-] XTornado@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

He is a Democrat? First time I heard about that.

[-] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 year ago

Don't see many Republicans running bars that allow drag shows.

[-] XTornado@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Some tend to hypocrisy and say something and then do something else. And if it makes money..... they can turn a blind eye. So not that crazy but yeah in theory it wouldn't make sense.

[-] flossdaily@lemmy.world 28 points 1 year ago

And her trashiness isn't even her worst quality!

"I'm sorry, I thought you just had the same name as Lauren Boebert"

[-] Hairyblue@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

I know, right? Why go on a date with Lauren Boebert? You already know who she is.

[-] thrakkerzog@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

She's a grandma in her 30s. He knows she puts out.

[-] HurlingDurling@lemm.ee 16 points 1 year ago

Dawww, she's embawassed!

Whatever, fuck you Bobo! You should be in jail

[-] onionbaggage@lemmynsfw.com 16 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yes, because HE is the problem... Not the sitting Congressman giving a handjob in public.

[-] theostermanweekend@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago

The only way to deal with sociopaths is to get away from them as far as posssible.

[-] thelastknowngod@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

But you would have known that! So clearly I cannot choose the senator in front of me!

[-] detalferous@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

it's always hard...

Yeah it is!

[-] troglodytis@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

So she's still down for a nooner with him. Nice

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) says she’s scrapping any more romantic outings after getting booted out of a “Beetlejuice” performance, exclaiming, “All future date nights have been canceled.”

A Boebert spokesperson initially denied that the lawmaker had been vaping, before video surfaced showing her doing so at the theater.

I’m here to provide levity, and lift burdens off of people,” Boebert said in an interview with TMZ on Monday.

“So anytime that they’re carrying mine, it’s something that you kind of feel deep inside.”

Asked if her dating life with the man was “over,” the 36-year-old congresswoman replied, “We’ve peacefully parted at this time.

“All in all, it was mostly a lovely time and I’ve taken responsibility for my actions,” Boebert said of the controversial incident, which her Democratic challenger, Adam Frisch, slammed as “another notch in the belt of embarrassment.”


The original article contains 270 words, the summary contains 134 words. Saved 50%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

[-] xc2215x@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I am not too shocked. The right wing did not want her to be with him anymore.

[-] nbafantest@lemmy.world -3 points 1 year ago

Why's she breaking up with him? Just own it. Almost everyone has copped a feel in a theater.

My opinion, this makes her look worse. We all saw her tit. They looked great.

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 29 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)
  1. she’s on about protecting kids from sexual predators.
  2. that was quite a bit more than “coping a feel”
  3. children saw her tits. They also saw her getting groped and groping the dude right back.

She should just own it. But that would mean admitting to being a sex offender. You know. The kind of person she claims to be protecting kids from in #1.

Edit: oh and 4): they were interrupted . There’s absolutely zero reason they were going to stop at groping and handjobs.

[-] reflex@kbin.social 11 points 1 year ago

There’s absolutely zero reason they were going to stop at groping and handjobs.

Lauren Bloebert 😏

The dude is also a democrat who owns a drag bar, so I don't really get why he's hanging out with her in the first place.

[-] BruceTwarzen@kbin.social 12 points 1 year ago

He already said she has nice tits

[-] steebo_jack@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

Opposites attract? LoL...
