The “Beetlejuice” incident continues to haunt the once-unrepentant congresswoman from Colorado. The state’s old guard is lining up behind a primary challenger.
At a casino bingo hall in southwestern Colorado, Lauren Boebert, a Republican congresswoman, bounced her 6-month-old grandson on her knee.
“The election’s still a ways away,” she said as the guests arriving for the Montezuma County Republican Party’s annual Lincoln Day dinner trickled into the room. “And in talking with people at events like this, you know, it seems like there’s a lot of mercy and a lot of grace.”
The month before, Boebert, then in the midst of finalizing a divorce, was caught on a security camera vaping and groping her date shortly before being ejected from a performance of the musical “Beetlejuice” at the Buell Theater in Denver for causing a disturbance. The footage contradicted her own initial claims about the incident, and the venue’s statement that Boebert had demanded preferential treatment added to the outrage.
Yeah. She could give hand jobs all day and I couldn't care less, but I can't forgive her for constantly lying out of her ass, before, during, after this event. She learns nothing from it.
I wanted to refer to Boebert as "first date handjob in a movie theater" lady but that discounts all her incredibly racist, offensive, terrible shit she said and did for the past five years.
and i kinda want to see her do porn, but life's not always fair... well i mean this case she's gotten away with far more than most folks would... so yeah maybe its not fair in that regard either.
Honestly, since conservatives are probably the biggest consumers of porn, she could start a new Conservative politician-themed genre, and "ride" (pun intended) her celebrity and be groped by all the people she wants all the way to the bank.
I just read that article and would be interested in additional research on the topic as I don't find those arguments particularly compelling.
If I understood correctly, conservative states are just slightly more likely to pay for porn subscriptions than liberal states: this is a difference of 1-3 subscriptions per 1000 people. A very small distinction.
And it's 6 out of the 10 least subscribing states voted for Obama while 8 of the 10 most subscribing states voted for McCain.
Given a very minor difference between the most and least subscribing states, I'm not sure this data actually means anything. Utah bought the most, but Montana bought the least per capita. Both deeply conservative states.
Edit: I don't say this as a defense of conservatives but as a call to better research and a caution against believing tenuous facts that reinforce our worldview. I personally believe repression leads to all sorts of problems, I just don't think this article or research really supports that argument in a meaningful way.
I do find it hilarious that of all the reprehensible things this woman has said and done over the past few years, she's probably gonna be taken down because she copped a quick feel.
If it were a male politician he'd be relentlessly hounded out of politics by his peers with no mercy even considered. Boebert is unfit to represent anybody.
Um, so there’s this guy named Donald Trump who still got elected president even after a tape of him bragging about grabbing women by their, um, yeah, was made public.
I don’t expect people would hold men to a similar standard here either tbh
The handjob is an excuse, not a reason. The reason is that she came a hair's breadth from losing a seat the GOP is counting on and her numbers have gotten worse since then.
The month before, Ms. Boebert, then in the midst of finalizing a divorce, was caught on a security camera vaping and groping her date shortly before being ejected from a performance of the musical “Beetlejuice” at the Buell Theater in Denver for causing a disturbance.
Pete Coors, the brewery scion, former Senate candidate and 2016 Trump fund-raiser, announced his endorsement in a statement provided to the Times, describing Mr. Hurd as “a principled leader of character whose conduct and behavior will never make us regret our support.”
Then a 33-year-old owner of a gun-themed, pandemic-lockdown-defying bar and restaurant in the small town of Rifle, she was an immediate sensation in the right wing of the party, which had transparently longed for its own answer to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the social media-savvy young left-wing Democratic congresswoman from New York.
The son of a local medical clinic director, he attended the University of Notre Dame and was planning on becoming a Catholic priest when he met his wife, Barbora, at an American Enterprise Institute seminar in Bratislava.
Mr. Hurd appears only peripherally in his first campaign ad, in which Barbora describes her journey to American citizenship after a childhood in Communist Czechoslovakia and warns that “we can’t take this freedom for granted” — a Reagan-revivalist pitch that also nods toward his concern about the risk of authoritarianism within his own party.
For some Colorado Republicans, the primary contest for her seat has become a proxy battle in the ongoing conflict within the party between an old guard of politicians and donors and the right-wing grass-roots activists that have come to dominate its state and county organizations — a fight in which 2020 election denial is a major dividing line.

I really wish they’d quit calling it groping when his nads were OUT in the video.
It’s the same soft ass language around the insurrection, calling it a riot to have proceedings of congress interrupted by gun wielding maniacs, chanting to hang the VP, and smearing feces everywhere.
