Lauren Boebert Can’t Shake the Beetlejuice Debacle
It already didn’t look great for Lauren Boebert when she got kicked out of a Denver theater for being disruptive during a performance of the Beetlejuice musical — or when video emerged of the voluble Republican congresswoman being escorted out of the theater. But that was hardly the end of this saga. A second video showed Boebert vaping in front of a pregnant woman, who claimed that the lawmaker refused to stop doing so when asked. The story really went nuclear when a third surveillance video leaked, showing that Boebert and her date were getting awfully comfortable with each other during the show.
Unfortunately for Boebert’s campaign to rebrand as a normal lawmaker, more juicy details keep coming out. Boebert — who has condemned drag shows in the past — was co-groping at Beetlejuice with an Aspen bar owner whose establishment hosts drag shows and participates in an event called Aspen Gay Ski Week. “I learned to check party affiliations before you go on a date,” Boebert told TMZ, although the pair have been reportedly seeing each other for months now.
In an interview with OAN, Boebert, who has been arrested four times, said that she is “very known for having an animated personality.” But the private incident in public is having a big impact on her professional life, distracting from her effort to impeach President Biden. Days after the incident, she was removed from the list of speakers for the Texas Youth Summit later this month.
At least she has her defenders. In a long Facebook post published Monday, Boebert’s ex-husband, Jayson, said he shared the blame for the incident, claiming that his acts of cheating “broke her down.” While it’s odd to have your recent ex-husband come to your defense for getting handsy in public, Jayson Boebert is something of an expert in this realm, having once been arrested for exposing himself to a teenager at a bowling alley.

But she can shake a dick at a theater.
Her first husband wiped his dick out in a bowling alley the first time they met...
This time the dick stayed in her dates pants, so I guess she's maturing?
Whipped. He whipped his dick out. Wiping ones dick out in a bowling alley conjures incredibly unfortunate mind-images. Like Kingpin except Woody gets murdered and then it's just Amish Cousin Eddie evading taxes and cursing the United States from Canada for the next 80 minutes.
I think you meant "whipped" but PLEASE do not correct it. Wiped is so much better.
“Ripped”
I wonder, if you rip your dick off at a bowling alley in front of teenagers, does that count as a sex offense?
He might've wiped his dick, but we're all sure he whipped it out.
🥳
Doesn't this entirely invalidate the claims of people like Boebert that woke-ism ruins people's personalities and thought processes? Shouldn't she be able to see that this guy was a degenerate trans groomer or whatever without needing to know his "political affiliation"?
If not, perhaps the negative side effects of people-with-different-opinions is not actually a fatal condition, after all.
you're applying logic.
you're not the target audience.
Fellow freaks found each other and now she decides that her shiat doesn’t stink. Hope she stocks up on ‘c’ batteries cuz that the closest she’s gonna get to getting her ditch itched
Stealing that.
Dude, republican degens would line up to drink her bathwater. She's gonna be fine.
We really gotta stop giving a shit what these people think.
Except a lot of "these people" are running our government...
Is that why she now avoids Republican dates or is it size?
The fuck is with all these news articles and just glazing over the most egregious acts?
She wasnt getting "awfully comfortable" she was fuckin jerking the dude off and getting her tits pulled out and fondled in a public space where children were present.
Stop sugar coating it. She should be put in a jail cell or out on bond right now. Countless grown adults have been permanently marked as a sexual predator for life for much less than that.
Why the fuck is she not out on bond right now, or in a cell? It was caught live on camera???
Indeed. She is now a sex criminal, regardless if police have the temerity to go after it.
The last line also way underplays it. Boebert was the minor
Two reasons, (R) and ($).
I'd like to see her face charges. If you or I did something like this, we would be registered sex offenders. You'd think the party of "law and order" would be calling for her to step down and face the music...
Nah, it's only a problem if the other tribe does it.
Democrats would be screaming for a resignation, and they would get it. Appalling the GOP skates over shit like this, with zero shame.
I'm sure she's getting a solid talking to, behind closed doors.
See: Al Franken
Republicans operate on a very strict internal "no accountability" model. A "whataboutism" isn't just a defense to the outsider it is a thought terminating measure to the party member. They are trained when approached with fault to immediately and thoughtlessly dismiss it and turn around and point at some form of impropriety elsewhere. Their presidential candidate has provably done any number of things - at this point criminal and immoral - but a lot of them defend him by saying that they don't care if it's true because they would still vote for him even if it was.
The left ( the Democrats to a far lesser degree) however is accountability hungry. If one of their own is prone to gross hypocrisy most people will turn on them like a pack of wolves and work to fully contextualize it to determine exactly how much "fuck that guy" should be applied. Did they apologize? Do they understand what they did and have it properly explained ? Did they mean it? Did they try to defend themselves for the indefensible or did they properly take their lumps ? Is the mistake such that a genuine promise to do better is enough that further consequences should be applied or does this damage this person's character so much that they can never be trusted again?
The different mindsets are irreconcilable to each other. Republicans can't generally understand the nature of the leftist distain for the Democrats as "the party with a more tolerable tab of lukewarm behaviour that will be voted for in absence of an actual paragon". But they recognize it as a weakness that they can exploit.
Rather than calling out their hypocrisy I like to just call them out for what they actually believe. When they say "law and order" it is a dogwhistle. And they don't believe in egalitarianism when it comes to the law or anything else. Rules for me and not for thee because they believe they exist higher up in a socioeconomic "hierarchy". So they don't deserve to go to jail for public display of sex but the "others" they perceived as below them deserve to go to jail for performing a drag show.
They don't. Republicans and right-wingers in the US don't actually believe in anything. The only thing they believe in is power. They will say and do anything to obtain and retain it.
Cult 45 believes in what they're told to believe.
The
AristocatsConservatives!I'm not sure if it was the bowling alley incident, but he exposed himself to Lauren and some of her friends when they were underage. Who sees an older man flash them and says "that's the guy I'm going to marry?" (Well, apparently, Lauren Boebert.)
Maybe he's a Hunter Biden type?
Just *chef's kiss*.
On one hand I find the American prudishness extremely ridiculous and amusing. On the other hand I get the outrage. - Not because of tiddies but because of the blatantly obvious hypocracy.
She was performing sexual acts in front of stranger's children, at a theater. I don't care what country you live in, that's not appropriate behavior.
As well as blowing thc vapor at a pregnant woman.
I mean, that sounds bad, but this is a politician. Their not held to the same standards as the rest of us. /s
Oh shit here we go^^ I'd agree if they actually had sex - that would actually be inappropriate. But what we saw was some light fondling - in a dark theater.
You see, children dont automatically oversexualize everything they see or hear like many adults do. I remember running in on my mom and dad when i was a kid - they were horribly ashamed but I didnt give a shit - because I had no context and therefore it couldn't have disturbed me in the slightest.
But boy oh boy these things seem different in the 'states :-D Just pure hypocracy and prudishness on all fronts. Not that I mind that much - I dont have to live there.
e: grammar
e2: y'all a bunch of American superprudes lol
She was jerking her date off with her tits out in a theatre, that's pretty inappropriate
Maybe your definition of "jerking off" just differs from mine?! I saw her kneading his dong through his pants. Thats not "jerking off" in my books - not by a longshot. But I also am willing to accept different interpretations.
https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/jerk-off Says here its just "masturbating". No definition wheter nakedness is required or not. So... I dunno 🙃
Her tits were pretty far out tho - I'll give you that.
I'd say your goalposts have wheels, but this seems more like a jet engine.
You're missing where she exhaled her vape in a pregnant woman's face AFTER being asked not to vape in the theater.
But it was enough to be captured on video and for people to ask them to stop vaping and stop taking flash photos.
This is a weird take. What she did isn't as bad as her reaction to it and even despite that it was clearly disruptive enough that those in charge felt the need to ask her to stop.
One hand had a cock, the other had her boobs. That's what I saw in the video anyway.
How the hell can they say that without mentioning that one of the teenagers he exposed himself to was Bobert?
Boebert: "I learned it from you!"
daaaaang
I believe she was already his (17 year old) girlfriend at that time though. https://www.salon.com/2021/08/31/lauren-boeberts-husband-did-jail-time-for-lewd-exposure-in-a-bowling-alley-she-was-there/
Nor fucking should she!
Remember, Paul Reubens(RIP) was arrested for getting his junk out at an adult theater. This trailer park queen
had her tits outwas getting felt up and was diddling her boyfriendin front ofaround kids in awell littheatre! There's even video of them! She needs to be charged and put on a list!Edit: Better? Can we all at least agree that she's a trashy piece of shit?
Al Franken was forced to resign for air honking.
Didn't watch the video, huh?
No she didn't.
Meh, a quick grope looked more like it. Same for him. In front of kids? How about, "In the dark with kids nearby."?
Funny, the video I saw was clearly recorded in infrared (or some sort of night vision).
As if this woman and her actions aren't heinous enough, we gotta make up shit? It's easy to point to facts and say,
Imagine a conservative reading these lies and saying, "BS! Not gonna read or listen to any more of this liberal crap!"
Lies do us liberals a disservice.
Are you... somehow implying that is supposed to mollify people?
Secret groping in the dark near other peoples children is not better lol
Of course I must be defending this bitch because I called out a lie.
Remember kids! Lying is A-OK if it's us libs doing it! But's it BAAAD when those other people do it!
I can't.
Fuck her but her tits were not out. It was also not well lit. You can certainly make the argument that she should be put on a list though.
Human breasts are not sexual. If a woman touched a man's breast you wouldn't be complaining. There's a double standard at play.
The law states it's still indecent exposure. And breasts are sexual in both sexes when used for sex. Nipple play is popular with both sexes. And regardless, sexual conduct is still sexual conduct.
My boobs disagree. Have you ever actually had sex?
What an absurd comment, pathetic that this is where republican bootlickers find themselves these days
Human breasts aren't sexual? Breast development is literally a sign of sexual maturity in women! Both men and women experience pleasure when they're touched. They are literally sexual in nature!
And yeah, I see a woman outright fondling a dude's chest, just full on cupping and nipple play in public? Yeah, I'm gonna be uncomfortable and probably complain to someone. Not really a double standard there on my end, sorry. Inappropriate is inappropriate.
I mean, facial hair growth is literally a sign of sexual maturity in men, but you'd be hard-pressed to convince anyone that beards are sexual.
The purpose of breasts is to feed babies; they're not inherently sexual in that way. That society has labelled them as such is different and very real, but it's harmful to declare breasts as inherently sexual just because of that.
To be clear this is just semantics; Bobo is clearly in the wrong here.
You might enjoy when someone squeezes your nips, but I'm not gay. It's not sexual to me.
Wait. Is this that "exposing kids to sexual content" that the right is always screaming about while pointing at books which have the slightest LGBTQ references? Could they be projecting?!!!
fakes a shocked expression
I want her to rail against people for exposing minors to sexual content just so that someone can rub her stupid face in what she did. I would love to have the honor to, but my chances of ever being in her vicinity ever are zilch.
Yes let's call this what it is. Also we should remove Beetlejuice from this whole thing and not tarnish a good movie/show franchise.
Miss holier-than-thou was sexually groping, and being groped in a public theater, and really enjoying herself. So yeah, that's going to stick with you when you're a public figure. LOL
*while surrounded by children.
she should be charged with the relevant charges and placed on the sex offender registry.
Or at the very least treated with the same harshness Republicans have for "drag queen story hour."
Lock her up. She should be locked up. needing to warn her new neighbors every time she moves is just a bonus.
I mean, they locked up Paul Ruebens for lewd acts in a theater. And he was only touching himself! You might have a case.
Wouldn't it be sad if that would be what brings her down? Like not her being a horrible person and shitty at her job that she's not qualified for.
She only won her seat by like 500 votes, so if any of those republican voters have ANY standards whatsoever, it will be the end of her career. But I'm not holding my breath.
If we're counting on Republicans having standards and not just voting for the magic R, she might be in office a long time.
Nope. She squeaked by with the thinnest margin. Not again, not after this.
Not like those Republicans will vote Democrat, they'll just not vote for her. Good enough.
Hell, she'll easily get primaried. That Republican will probably take the seat.
Have no fear, this is her last term. Even she was surprised to win the last election by a hair. Plenty of pics of her and the family looking downcast and beaten that night.
This isn't a nail in the coffin, it's a railroad spike.
Her date is flattered by the compassion….
May this story haunt her to the grave.
And then come back from the grave to help the newly deceased after repeating her name 3 times
It will, but it won't change a single mind. That's why she's there, to make scandal after scandal in order to take over the news cycle. She's just doing her job just like Margarie T.G. did, and just like she replaced MTG once she's not useful as a distraction a new crazy lady will pop up to take her place.
I'm not sure in this case. The last election was surprisingly tight for her. Any factor could be enough to push her to a loss next time.
Putting Bobo aside, can you imagine what an incredible douche canoe of a club owner this guy must be? I'm imagining his employees having to deal with the type of narcissist that gets excited about going out with a trashy congressperson.
Ironically, this one bar is probably one among many bars he owns, and for him, the event programing is just a way to get bodies into the door, rather than any sort of moral ally-ship.
dude could still totally be a bigot. just one that puts money over bigotry. Not sure if that makes him an even bigger ass or not.
I'm convinced he knew exactly what he was doing and did it for expose her for who she is.
If it takes no imagination for you to be branded and known on the hill as Congresswoman Hoebert, maybe practice situational awareness.
Once upon a time, and decorum, politicians actually showed some dignity and resigned over this sort of thing. Anybody remember Al Franken and air honking hands? There is no self respect among the Republicans. What a double standard. What a bunch of hypocrites.
Especially the last part. They go around pointing fingers, but it doesn't faze them when it's their own in the hot seat. They'll just band together, no matter how deep in shit or depraved they are.
The trick is that they don't care if you call them hypocrites. Those packets just get dropped at the router. It's like calling them "xorflax" or something... the words have no meaning to them.
They learn it in church, exactly the same behavior.
If the fellas don't find you hot, they better find you handy!
Maybe it's an onlyfans/porn tryout? She keeps mentioning how great she is on her knees and such.
Lmao the last sentence is outstanding.
If you’re out of the loop, Lauren was the teenager to whom Jayson exposed himself.
So…. She’s saying this is distracting her from Hunter and that’s a problem…
Maybe hunter could take one for the team, invite her out to camp David or something.
She can only concentrate on one dick at a time.
Well then she's not a very good professional, is she?
No wonder this is hurting her career.
Rumors from the Right say that Hunter is hung like a horse, so she could do her best cowgirl impersonation.
HAH. it's no rumor. Which one of them shared his dick pick to all of congress again?
I think that was MTG, another epitome of class in congress.
Lack of class.
Told my wife we should start referring to handjobs in public as Boeberts.
Guaranteed flaccidity if that happens.
Opposite of viagra, a real boner killer.
It really needs the "Santorum" treatment.
How absolutely unhinged is it that this is a real headline and story.
Meh, this whole thing will probably help her. The ultra-religious won't vote for a "fetus killing, groomer Dem" no matter what. They'll make excuses for not considering her a groomer while calling drag queens groomers for doing nothing sexual around children. And she'll probably gain votes from the "Hell Yeah, YeeHaw" crowd.
She almost lost her last election to a Democrat. My money has him winning the next one.
Then Boebert can service her constituents with a clear conscience.
It's amazing that THIS is the takeaway that Boebert has from the incident. Was the problem that she was vaping by a pregnant woman in a venue where vaping wasn't allowed and refused to stop? Was it that she and her date were groping each other in public? Was it that she pulled the "Do you know who I am" card?
No. It must be her date's party affiliation that's to blame!
Insert Principal Skinner Meme Here
Fit the Party of Personal Responsibility, Republicans sure love finding ways to blame other people.
Apparently some of the right-wing hyperbrains have decided that this was an eVuL dEmOcRaT pLoT to tarnish her. Because nothing says "party of personal responsibility" like saying it's the other side's fault when you massively fuck up in public.
That's because the people want more. We don't want the grainy boob grope and crotch stroke video. We want the representative on her knees (where she's her strongest, I hear), taking all 6 hard inches of democrat cock right down her hypocritical throat while vape clouds billow from her nose like some sort of dragon-slut.
That made me feel so dirty. Like the men that hate black women but love fetish videos of them etc. Sorry the dehumanizing sexual punishment fantasy of a horrible shitty politician is still gross to me. Because ultimately it's like humiliation and control and the fact that it's a woman they are "allowed" to hate really is the point. Kind of how AoC has been treated and Greta Thunberg (ok worse cuz a lot of it was when she was a minor)
Anyway sorry i don't mean this so much at you directly. Specifically just this sort of common acceptable thing that I think is still shitty but for some reason doesn't get the same criticism, maybe since it's less common on liberal side of things.
I agree, the whole thing was weirdly rapey and gross. She did a gross thing but the fact this person decided the socially acceptable thing to do in response to this was write some weird 1 paragraph rapefix fantasy... and then got a bunch of upvotes for it, is definitely big "ick" vibes.
Go on...
You have such an illustrative way with words.
Who's Nailin' Palin 2
Bobbing for Boebert
you sound like a republican
You're not wrong and I'm disappointed that you are being down voted for it.
Have you thought about directing?
What an utter waste of tits
Waste of money. Those tits were a waste of money. On her, anyways.
0% chance those are real.
Imagine being in the security room watching these two go all hands on each other’s naughty bits. Now imagine hearing the opening music for the Movie in the background….. yeesh
It was the Beetlejuice musical.
So there were actors up on stage, ushers, lighting and sound techs, spotlight operators, and a stage manager up in the booth. That's a lot of people who will watch both the show and the audience.
Then you have all the backstage people who would instantly be gossiping about this shit, because sidebar conversations happen on headset all the time as long as it doesn't interrupt the flow of the show.
"Do you know who I am?!"
"Yes, yes we do, and you're going to get put up on youtube." - everyone in the background while the security guy/ushers try to keep it "discrete"
Theatre people are the cattiest bitches I know.
It's fun, if you get a chance, work a show or two. But be prepared to work. That shit isn't easy on anyone involved.
I'd rather not imagine that thank you very much!
There's always onlyfans 🤷🏿
Come on, everyone. Its just BoBo bein' BoBo. Laugh, enjoy the farsical, fantastical peep show, BoBo In TrumpLand.
And remember, Grope for BoBo in the next erection!
Yeah what fun. Maybe she'll do something really hilarious next like stochastic terrorism against LGBTQ or people of color. Ah, such lighthearted fun.
Did you say, "HoBo"
Grobo.
Are you kidding? She shook that MF like a god damn shake weight.
Just another girl not finishing the job.
She should have shaken it a little more, imo.
And the theatre can't shake the Boebertjuice debacle--won't someone think of the cleaning people.
Boebertjuiceboebertjuiceboebertjuice
(Looks around)
Damn, she’s STILL HERE
Is that the same event where she was giving escort services to the client for $40?
You gotta say it three times..
What happened to her neck? Jesus
It's a strand of hair, that threw me as well for a bit.
Ha i see it now. Thanks
After watching the video
who fucks around in the AISLE?
Feels like a contrived distraction
False flag! It was her body double fooling around!
Poor Karen Boebert. She gets caught in film for being a full-assed hypocrite that only cares about herself and now she can't take being called out for it.
The story broke 4 days ago??
What did, exactly? None of this happened hours ago, this happened a week ago.
The revelation of who she’s dating, etc. The latest chapter. The next wave in the set.
I mean gawd why can’t we just get over it?
They’re still complaining about Hillary’s emails.
Because she built a career on self righteous moral crusading. The most delicious of fallen hypocrisy. We must feast, my friend
Yes, yes, but no, you first, I don’t wanna eat that.
You’re both saying it’s only been six hours so we should wait to talk about it, and that it’s been long enough that we should just move on?…
No, that’s not even remotely what’s being said.
You don’t read sarcasm very well, do you?
I don’t read sarcasm very well?
Maybe you don’t type sarcasm very well.
You’re the one who didn’t understand the first comment, has nothing to do with me.
When he said “six hours ago” and “give it a sec”, he didn’t literally mean it had only been six hours anymore than he literally meant to give it one more second. It was a general relative expression of time, in that Boebert and co seem to think this should have all blown over by now, because it was way back then.
If you don’t understand now, I cannot help you further.
I think this conversation proves that Poe's law applies to politics as well as religion.
In the immortal words of Lupe Fiasco:
Clicked in here to say more or less the exact same thing
Shut up
Man, just two adults having fun..sad that people are offended.
Just one adult trying to regulate the behavior of others showing herself to have bad behavior and being unworthy to regulate that of others.
No one is offended. They're calling out a rude person. Huge difference there buddy.
Well, now she'll be SUPER PRUDE just for everyone...her next man is gonna be thrilled! Lol...
While surrounded by children? Really? And after Boebert spent so much time touting family values and Christian morality?
