As more and more details are being revealed about Rep. Lauren Boebert’s wild night out in Denver last weekend — having been kicked out of “Beetlejuice” the musical for vaping and just generally being a public nuisance with her male companion — a full picture is coming together of what the other theater patrons around her that night had to endure.

Newly released footage of the night in question appears to show Boebert’s exposed breasts being fondled by her date for an extended period of time while she, in turn, dawdles around in his lap with her hand. As many have pointed out on social media, having seen this footage, children were seated all around the couple that night, within viewing range of what they were up to.

“Laurent Boebert was jerking her date off in public while he gropes her in a theater where children were present and yet she continues to attack LGBTQ people as ‘threats to children,’” writes journalist and clinical instructor Alejandra Caraballo on X, sharing the footage of Boebert in the act.

    Already happened:

    https://ktla.com/news/local-news/burbank-mayor-fires-back-after-drag-queen-spanking-video-prompts-vile-hate-speech/

    *Edit: I guess I pissed off a bunch of people here without context, I was simply pointing out the absurdity of this story being pushed by the media and the GOP. I honestly could give two shits about what the Mayor did. I live in his city!

    I wanted to show how far these right wing fucks have to reach to get any sort of credibility with their constituents.

    The Mayor can do whatever the fuck he wants at a private event. IT WAS A PRIVATE EVENT. Why the fuck is him spanking a drag queen a big deal?! The only people that gave a shit are the people I really don’t want to be around. And now I’m feeling pretty alienated because of my lack of clarity here. The amount of anger that has been displayed here is actually disheartening. What happened to asking a simple question to get some explanation or debate going? Why is every political post so violently responded to REGARDLESS of political leaning? THIS IS WHAT THEY WANT! They want us to rip each other apart. No questions asked. A political sports contest with no winner other than the venue owners.

    I guess I’m going stop posting for a while and just lurk. I can’t say shit without having a chance to explain. I automatically get labeled with extreme prejudice.

    My fault for saying anything. Sorry to those I triggered. Sorry for trying to get some semblance of an intellectual conversation/debate going.

    The hate is strong on both sides. I’m just trying to co-exist.

    Have a good one everyone. Hope your days go well.

      Huh. I searched that article for anything resembling a Democrat getting into a public groping session with someone in the middle of a crowded theater, and couldn’t find it. Could you specify which paragraph I can find that in?

        Yeah, I read it all, and they even went out of their way to say that no children were present. I’m sure OP will respond, though. There’s no way they were just sending GOP talking points blasted on far right social media without verifying their validity, right?

          LOL. I didn’t post it for GOP support. I was simply posting it to show that the GOP is using this against democrats. I completely abhore the GOP.

          I’m amazed and surprised at how easy it was to completely piss off a bunch of people with an observation I made.

          I’m genuinely perplexed. I guess I have to lead my posts with ‘FUCK THE GOP’ before I press submit. Or at the very least add a few more sentences explaining.

        That’s the point. It’s what the GOP calls ammunition for their shitty campaign. Whatever this Mayor did at a private party is his business.

          Hey, without the added context in your edit, it looked like your comment was trying to draw equivalency between Bobo and a drag performance. That’s why you got downvoted to hell, your comment really needed the explanation.

        It wasn’t the same. I was trying to point out that this is the stupidity of the GOP and their cohorts. They want you to believe that the Mayor was in the wrong here… Which honestly, who really gives a shit what he does at a private party?

          Just FYI the comment you replied to said “wait until a Democrat does something like this” and you said “It’s already happened” and linked your article. The context there is that a Democrat has done an equivalent thing, not that the right is making something unequal a bigger deal than it should be. Context is important. That’s why everyone believed you were saying “what about this…” rather than “they’re trying to hide behind this.”

      Yes, being spanked as part of an 18+ drag show performance is equal to doing actual sex acts in an all-ages theater performance when you think no one is watching.

      /s if needed.

        Brother…this would be the first time someone has called me a MAGA specialistt. I’m far from it. This is what MAGA wants you to be angry at. In reality, who gives a shit what this Mayor did? There are more pressing matters at hand.

        The GOP is shit. It has been shit. It will always be shit. But this is the bullshit they’re peddling to keep the those nazi fuckers angry, and the ultra conservatives frothing at the mouth with dollars bills toward their complete and utter bullshit oroganda machine.

          If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, maybe it’s a duck. Not interested in any “both sides are the same” BS. You may not like both sides but saying they’re the same is laughable.

      So this was an all ages event with children present?

      Interesting party of the article. Maybe this isn’t the equivalency you want it to be. “While the account correctly pointed out that people 15 and older were allowed to attend, the organizer of the Drag Queen Bingo event, the Santa Clarita Valley Democrats, released a statement explaining that no one under the age of 18 was present.”
