A closer look at Boebert's wild night out shows activities not suitable for the eyes of children

As more and more details are being revealed about Rep. Lauren Boebert’s wild night out in Denver last weekend — having been kicked out of “Beetlejuice” the musical for vaping and just generally being a public nuisance with her male companion — a full picture is coming together of what the other theater patrons around her that night had to endure.

Newly released footage of the night in question appears to show Boebert’s exposed breasts being fondled by her date for an extended period of time while she, in turn, dawdles around in his lap with her hand. As many have pointed out on social media, having seen this footage, children were seated all around the couple that night, within viewing range of what they were up to.

“Laurent Boebert was jerking her date off in public while he gropes her in a theater where children were present and yet she continues to attack LGBTQ people as ‘threats to children,’” writes journalist and clinical instructor Alejandra Caraballo on X, sharing the footage of Boebert in the act.

      Yeah a little? But this is an elected official with real power misbehaving in public as well as being hypocritical with their anti-lgbt “for the children” stance.

      As far as political news goes, this is pretty mild in terms of scandal. Not sure anybody’s mind is going to change about her as a result of this, but I think if it can end up in an honest attack ad then it’s probably newsworthy.

        Keep in mind that she won her district by a super narrow margin. After this, I’d say she loses easily next time round. To the point that I wouldn’t be surprised if she gets primaried.

        Having watched the video, it’s milder than these comments let on. But still, trashy as hell for anyone, but understandable if they were teens.

        So why is this not front-page news? Have we fallen so far?

          IDK, vaping in front of a pregnant woman after being asked not to is worse than the headline. She cares for the unborn, just not that one in particular.
