The GOP congresswoman has accused trans people and drag queens of "grooming" and "sexualiz[ing]" children
Rep. Lauren Boebert has been outspoken about her disapproval of drag queens, but that didn’t stop the Colorado congresswoman from spending hundreds of campaign dollars at a bar that hosts drag shows.
According to Politico, which cited her latest Federal Election Commission filings, Boebert’s campaign spent $317.48 in July for “event catering” at Hooch Craft Cocktail Bar in Aspen, Co., which is owned by Boebert’s former boyfriend, Quinn Gallagher. Boebert and Gallagher were booted from a performance of Beetlejuice last month for disruptive conduct, including vaping, loud singing and fondling each other at the family-friendly production. Boebert later said she and Gallagher, a Democrat, had broken up. “All future date nights have been canceled. I learned to check party affiliations before you go on a date,” Boebert told TMZ.
Ridicule her for her stupid tweets and dumb policies, just ignore what she does in her free time.
She's not being ridiculed for what she does in her free time. She's being ridiculed because she engages in the exact type of behavior that she constantly preaches against. Her hypocricy is what draws the ridicule.
It's the blatant hypocrisy. Nobody cares about the drag club, they care that this person is literally pushing legislation to eliminate people like that from public life.
