Rep. Lauren Boebert Attempts Showing Humility To Voters

PAGOSA SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) — Retreating from the turmoil in Washington, D.C., Rep. Lauren Boebert arrived in bucolic southwest Colorado to turmoil of a different sort — the lingering impact of an embarrassing moment when she was caught on tape vaping and groping with a date during a musical production of “Beetlejuice.”The scandal threw a wrench into an already tough reelection bid. After Boebert won her last race by just 546 votes, she began revamping her campaign strategy. It now includes apologies to voters at campaign events for an episode that has rattled even loyal Republicans.“Most of us were like ‘holy cow,’” said Beverly Cuyler, a long-time Boebert supporter. “And one of the big reasons for that is a gap between how she presented herself as a Christian and what ended up happening....

Lauren Boebert’s ‘Thoughts And Prayers’ Tweet Fails Big

Boebert’s post was short, reading, “Sending prayers to Lewistown, Maine tonight. Know that the entire country is praying for you.”However, many people found the statement careless and insensitive. The Colorado Republican is very pro-gun and even co-owned a restaurant called “Shooters Grill” that featured waitresses with firearms.To make matters worse, Boebert misspelled “Lewiston” as “Lewistown.”As of Thursday afternoon, the tweet was still up with the typo intact, and it had racked up more than 7,000 replies ― many of which pointed out her mistake.Boebert’s political future appears to be on increasingly shaky ground.Time reported that many Colorado Republicans, including Mesa County Commissioner Bobbie Daniel, fear that Boebert is losing her appeal among the state’s GOP voters.“In the pr...

John Oliver Trolls Lauren Boebert In First Show Back After Strike

HBO’s John Oliver tried to cover a lot of ground on Sunday, his first night back on the air since the writers strike put his show on hiatus in May.But there was one story he had to keep going back to: Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) getting kicked out of a performance of the “Beetlejuice” musical for vaping, being disruptive, taking pictures and apparently getting very handsy with her date during the show. “I don’t want to get bogged down in it,” the “Last Week Tonight” host insisted. “After all, she was kicked out of the show, that is probably punishment enough.” He moved onto a new topic, and began speaking about economic problems in Italy. But he couldn’t stay focused as he kept interrupting his report on Italy to mention Boebert and the “fondling and light over-the-pants hands stuff whi...

Lauren Boebert Addresses Theater Groping, Vaping Incident

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) is defending herself after causing a publicized disturbance.The lawmaker was spotted vaping at the touring production of “Beetlejuice” in Denver last week and allegedly groping her date before being thrown out of the venue. Boebert, whose estranged husband blames himself for their divorce, explained the incident Friday.“What happened was I messed up,” she told Fox News pundit Jesse Watters. “I went on a date night, and I am a congresswoman and a public figure, but believe it or not, I’m human too. Obviously, everyone is very interested in my personal life and … very difficult divorce.”The Denver Post reported three theatergoers at the Buell Theatre complained that Boebert and her date were vaping, singing and recording the musical performance.

‘The View’ Hosts Rip Lauren Boebert Over ‘Beetlejuice’ Chaos

The five co-hosts of “The View” collectively piled on to Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) over her scandalous antics during a recent showing of “Beetlejuice.”The lawmaker was booted from a Denver theater on Sept. 10 for being disruptive and breaking theater rules. Her campaign initially dismissed criticism and lied about what happened, but later apologized after security footage revealed the extent of her misbehavior at the family-friendly event.“In defense of Lauren Boebert, who has not gone to a matinee of ‘Beetlejuice,’ gotten a little over-served, starting vaping, gotten a little handsy with someone, gotten dragged out and then flipped the bird to security?” co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin cracked.Boebert told One America News network on Sunday she was a “little too eccentric” at the show a...

Boebert’s Estranged Husband Blames Self For Failed Marriage

The estranged husband of Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) is speaking out in support of the controversial congresswoman and says he is the one to blame for problems in the marriage.In May, Lauren and Jayson Boebert announced they were getting divorced after nearly 18 years of marriage. The couple cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split.But Jayson offered some details of the split in a Facebook message posted on Monday and took responsibility for the shattered relationship.Jayson’s message began with a greeting to “the people of Colorado’s 3rd District and across the nation” before referring to “the deep concerns circulating” and “the attacks against Lauren,” a possible reference to the congresswoman being kicked out of a recent stage performance of “Beetlejuice” in Den...
