The left has been crowing about an incident involving Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Col.) that seems to be the gift that keeps on giving. Boebert was ejected from a performance of “Beetlejuice” in Denver, and the reasons why keep growing: first she was reported to have been talking too loudly, singing along with musical numbers, and taking pictures. Then we heard that she was vaping. Finally, video emerged of Boebert and her date groping each other, presumably in full view of those who were seated nearby. And just like that, the left is against lewd acts in public. The party of drag queens in primary schools has suddenly become the party of Victorian prudery.
Colorado Politics reported Tuesday that “audience members complained the Garfield County Republican was talking loudly, singing, and using her cellphone camera during the musical.” The Denver Post added the same day that Boebert “was escorted out of a Sunday night performance of the ‘Beetlejuice’ musical in downtown Denver, accused by venue officials of vaping, singing, recording, and ‘causing a disturbance’ during the performance.”
On Friday, Boebert apologized. The New York Times’ headline was “Boebert Apologizes for Vaping in a Denver Theater,” but Boebert’s own words were broader: “The past few days have been difficult and humbling, and I’m truly sorry for the unwanted attention my Sunday evening in Denver has brought to the community. While none of my actions or words as a private citizen that night were intended to be malicious or meant to cause harm, the reality is they did and I regret that.
