Scandal surrounding Republican politician who is kicked out of theater after she vapes, takes photos, sings along loudly and fiddles with her date’s crotch | Abroad

American Republican politician Lauren Boebert (36) is at the center of a scandal. She was kicked out of a theater last week for inappropriate behavior, and footage of that has now emerged.

The surveillance footage shows Boebert vaping, and continues to do so when a pregnant woman behind her asks him to stop. The woman, who wishes to remain anonymous for fear of reprisals from MAGA extremists, says Boebert deliberately blew smoke in her face and also called her a “miserable” person.

Handling

Boebert also filmed parts of the ‘Beetlejuice’ musical at the Buell Theater in Denver, Colorado, and took several selfies with a flash. She also sang along loudly and exuberantly, and was also groping her partner. That is Quinn Gallagher (46), a café owner with whom she has been secretly dating for several months and who is said to be a Democrat. The images show him groping her breasts while she appears to rub his crotch.

The two first receive a warning, but it has little effect. They are then asked to leave, which they only do after the staff threatens to call the police. Boebert raises her middle finger to the employees in the foyer and also asks “if they know who she is?”.

The images are particularly painful for Boebert. Before they were released, she denied that she had vaped and tried to save herself by joking that she had indeed been enjoying herself too much. But after the images emerged, there was no denying it. She apologizes profusely and refers to her difficult divorce from the man she was married to for 18 years and with whom she has four children. In June she announced that she had become a grandmother after her 17-year-old son had a child with his girlfriend.


But what really bothers her opponents is her pawing behavior. Boebert has a far-right program and stands up for ‘family values’. In the American Congress she regularly criticizes the LGBT community and transgender people and drag queens in particular. Following a drag performance for children, she recently accused the political left of “grooming” children by exposing them to “obscene behavior.” The fact that she, of all people, is caught touching her during a child-friendly musical earns her a lot of ridicule.
