Colorado Republicans are rejecting Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) and lining up behind her primary opponent, Jeff Hurd, after she was caught vaping and groping her date during a September 10 performance of Beetlejuice at the Buell Theater in Denver.
Several prominent state Republicans recently endorsed Hurd and slammed Boebert in interviews with Time magazine — including former Colorado Governor Bill Owens, Delta County Commissioner Don Suppes, and Mesa County Commissioners Cody Davis and Bobbie Daniel.
Though she initially denied doing anything wrong at the Beetlejuice performance, auditorium camera footage showed that Boebert was indeed vaping, as well as groping and being groped by Quinn Gallagher, the owner of an Aspen bar that holds drag performances. Boebert also took a picture of the cast, which is forbidden by theater rules. After multiple patrons complained about her behavior, she was kicked out. While leaving, she flipped her middle finger at the usher and yelled, “Do you know who I am?”
Oh phew! I thought all the other things she did were what turned them against her. /S
Right? They didn’t care that she produced zero meaningful legislation or help any of their constituents. They don’t care about her lack of ethics or hypocrisy. They cared that she was caught doing teenager style shenanigans in public.
Nope, they didn’t care about that either. Over a month after the fact they suddenly care because their internal polling shows her losing in 2024.
^ Boom. This right here. She skated in with 546 votes. Anyone remember the pics the night of the election? Her and her family clearly thought she lost.
I’m mildly encouraged that they still care about votes?
Guess they’ll have to gerrymander harder.

… with a drag-show hosting democrat.
That was the real offense. If that detail wasn’t true, the current story probably wouldn’t be one.
Which still surprises me–isn’t that the kinda shit they normally do?!?
