Colorado Congresswoman Lauren Boebert continues to be the talk of the town after she was kicked out of an afternoon performance of the musical "Beetlejuice" in Denver.
At the time of her forced theater exit, the controversial GOP member denied anything happened, blamed Democrats and said she was simply "too eccentric." Then video of the incident hit the Internet. Footage from inside the theater shows her filming the performance (a no-no), vaping inside the theater (also a no-no) and seemingly groping her date, who was seated next to her. It also appears that Lauren, who was wearing a very, very tight dress, was getting fondled by her date.
Theatergoers complained that she was also singing incredibly loudly, dancing wildly and generally causing a disturbance. She claimed to not "recall" vaping — despite a pregnant woman asking her to stop. The expectant woman told the Denver Post she didn't recognize Lauren when she asked the House of Representatives member to stop puffing on her vape pen. Lauren, the woman claimed, simply said "no." Later, the woman alleged that Lauren called her a "sad and miserable person."
Theater reps told the Associated Press that as she was kicked out, Lauren dropped a "Do you know who I am?" and threatened, "I will be contacting the mayor."
Since then, many bold-faced names on both sides of the political aisle have sounded off on Lauren's behavior.

"Lauren Boebert is a disgrace to this country. Forget the politics… She's wearing a tight t***** dress. I've seen porn stars wear more… First of all, she's a liar. She was denying that she was vaping and didn't know what vaping was, but then they found the video," Howard Stern said on his Sirius XM radio show. "Isn't she a big morality person? How embarrassing… How did she win an election? How does a woman like that win an election. There are certain standards. Once you get caught lying like that, bye!"

Lauren Boebert's estranged husband, Jayson Boebert, took to Facebook after her viral "Beetlejuice" incident to ask people to "show grace and mercy towards Lauren in this troubling season."
Jayson, who admitted he was "unfaithful to Lauren in so many ways," also took the blame for her behavior, writing, "In part, this is my fault and you don't deserve this."
Lauren filed for divorce in April after nearly two decades of marriage.

"She lied. She said nothing happened," Whoopi Goldberg said on "The View." "It's past the point of hypocrisy. Now it's just stupid… It's not funny anymore. These are the people who've been elected to make it better. People kept talking about the swamp. What do you think we're in right now? This is giving swamp a bad name."

"If you got mad at Lauren Boebert but not the drag queen flashing people at the White House then you need to quietly sit down." —Kevin Sorbo

"Manners and decorum are not partisan… Watching her behavior, if she had come forward and said, 'I'm going through a rough time, I had a rough night.' I would have said, 'I have a lot of grace for you.' But you're a nasty person to a lot of people, so I have no forgiveness for what she did, including flipping off the camera on the way out. I don't want my kids to see that. They might not be at a drag show, but they might be at a matinee" —Sara Haines on "The View"
