Why is the third hand on the watch called the second hand?
She Was Definitely Handling It
Several high-profile Republicans took to social media to scorch Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) after the congresswoman and her boyfriend were caught fondling each other in a packed theater last weekend.
“She lectures everyone about the LGBT community being a threat to children while getting caught performing a lewd sex act in a public theatre where children possibly were,” Meghan McCain said in a post. “This is ‘family values’? This is why people think the GOP are all hypocrites.”
Ann Coulter posted to X, calling the lawmaker a “totally embarrassing bimbo.” “Can't Colorado find SOME Republican not trashy and stupid to represent them in the 3rd congressional district?” she wrote.
Boebert denied acting inappropriately—apart from being too loud in the theater—until video surfaced of her vaping and becoming intimate with her partner.
“Excuse it all you want—she behaved badly, denied it till exposure, and there's no excuse except tribally,” conservative talk show host Erick Erickson said. Former Virginia representative Denver Riggleman wrote that “Lauren Boebert seems a bit confused about Freedom Caucus members telling her to ‘reach across the aisle.’”
Boebert took to Facebook Friday to apologize for her actions, which she attributed to her divorce but did not mention groping her boyfriend. “There’s no perfect blueprint for going through a public and difficult divorce, which over the past few months has made for a challenging personal time for me and my entire family,” Boebert wrote. “I’ve tried to handle it with strength and grace as best I can, but I simply fell short of my values on Sunday”
This is All Kind of a Drag
Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) is getting some heat after video footage showed her in close contact with a male companion at a Beetlejuice musical from which she was booted after allegedly vaping in front of a pregnant woman. That companion is reportedly the owner of a pro-LGBT bar that has hosted a drag show.
Boebert has already been skewered by fellow Republicans for not living up to her "family values" promises, and there have been questions about what was in the vape she ultimately admitted smoking.
Now, there are new details being reported about who she was with.
The bar owned by Boebert’s "apparent new beau has staged at least one drag show, according to a review of social media posts," the New York Post reported Saturday.
"In January, the Hooch Craft Cocktail Bar in Aspen, which is co-owned by Quinn Gallagher, staged 'a winter Wonderland Burlesque & Drag Show,' an invitation for the event reveals."
"In January 2020, Aspen Gay Ski Week hosted 'an evening of cocktails, appetizers, and laughs' at Hooch, according to a Facebook post at the time. Gallagher, a Democrat, was caught on video getting frisky with Boebert, apparently grabbing her breast while she appeared to rub his crotch as the pair took in a performance of 'Beetlejuice' in the Buell Theater in Colorado. The two have reportedly been dating under the radar for months."
The report also notes that Boebert "has staked herself as one of the most anti-LGBT members of Congress and a tough critics of children being exposed to drag entertainment."
