Like the musical’s title character, the story of Boebert’s act of vaping and groping in public just won’t die.
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.

Doesn't this entirely invalidate the claims of people like Boebert that woke-ism ruins people's personalities and thought processes? Shouldn't she be able to see that this guy was a degenerate trans groomer or whatever without needing to know his "political affiliation"?
If not, perhaps the negative side effects of people-with-different-opinions is not actually a fatal condition, after all.
Fellow freaks found each other and now she decides that her shiat doesn’t stink. Hope she stocks up on ‘c’ batteries cuz that the closest she’s gonna get to getting her ditch itched
We also don’t make politics the most important part of our personalities, so the fact that we vote differently doesn’t fucking matter.
That used to be considered normal, but these days if you fraternize with someone who has differing opinions to you, it’s a cardinal sin.
Maybe it’s kind of cool to have someone you trust and care about and respect their opinion around to challenge your own beliefs and keep you socially and intellectually honest.
You know, like any healthy relationship should have.
