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.

    On one hand I find the American prudishness extremely ridiculous and amusing. On the other hand I get the outrage. - Not because of tiddies but because of the blatantly obvious hypocracy.

      She was performing sexual acts in front of stranger’s children, at a theater. I don’t care what country you live in, that’s not appropriate behavior.

        Oh shit here we go^^ I’d agree if they actually had sex - that would actually be inappropriate. But what we saw was some light fondling - in a dark theater.

        You see, children dont automatically oversexualize everything they see or hear like many adults do. I remember running in on my mom and dad when i was a kid - they were horribly ashamed but I didnt give a shit - because I had no context and therefore it couldn’t have disturbed me in the slightest.

        But boy oh boy these things seem different in the 'states :-D Just pure hypocracy and prudishness on all fronts. Not that I mind that much - I dont have to live there.

        e: grammar

        e2: y’all a bunch of American superprudes lol

          She was jerking her date off with her tits out in a theatre, that’s pretty inappropriate

            Maybe your definition of “jerking off” just differs from mine?! I saw her kneading his dong through his pants. Thats not “jerking off” in my books - not by a longshot. But I also am willing to accept different interpretations.

            https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/jerk-off Says here its just “masturbating”. No definition wheter nakedness is required or not. So… I dunno 🙃

            Her tits were pretty far out tho - I’ll give you that.

              I’d say your goalposts have wheels, but this seems more like a jet engine.

          You’re missing where she exhaled her vape in a pregnant woman’s face AFTER being asked not to vape in the theater.

          But it was enough to be captured on video and for people to ask them to stop vaping and stop taking flash photos.

          This is a weird take. What she did isn’t as bad as her reaction to it and even despite that it was clearly disruptive enough that those in charge felt the need to ask her to stop.

      One hand had a cock, the other had her boobs. That’s what I saw in the video anyway.
