Deadline: After being kicked out of a performance of a Beetlejuice musical in Downtown Denver last weekend for vaping, being on her phone and making a racket, Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) made light of the incident, saying she was guilty only of “laughing and singing out loud” and, according to her campaign, any vapor present was due to what a representative told the Washington Post were “heavy fog machines and electronic cigarettes used during the show.” The rep explained that there might have been “a misunderstanding from someone sitting near her.”

Literally what is going on with this story? Things have been flying around for days on what is truly going on with this story. I think we can all agree with fog from a show looks nothing like vape smoke. Furthermore, why would an audience member make up the fact that she was vaping and go as far as to tell someone on the staff of the theatre if there was a problem? I just don’t think that they would. I also think that elected officials need to assume that they are being held to a higher standard while in public because they are the public faces of our country. If a congresswoman cannot even sit through a less than two-hour show without vaping, then that (among many other things) might point to a larger issues that involve her no longer being in public office. This just shows such a blaring lack of respect on her part for the artists who were in that show that it is astounding.
I’m so sorry this story is absolutely hilarious. Boebert, a terrible, idiotic, politician who preys on her constituents struggles got kicked out of a theatre because she was vaping. Vaping?! I wonder if it was cotton candy flavored. I can not wait to hear the story where she gets popcorn lung because she was so busy ripping sick clouds instead of governing the people. And the fact that she is trying to pretend that she wasn’t. That she is trying to pretend that the vape cloud was actually just stage fog or that it was someone else nearby who was ripping clouds. At this point, I truly don’t know why she doesn’t just lean into this trashy persona full force. Get all the votes of the trashy citizens of America. And the people who believe her, or believe that her being thrown out was some sort of democrat conspiracy to defame her are so absolutely insane.
This incident involving Lauren Boebert's vaping video and her attempt to blame it on theatrical effects and lighting is undeniably comical. It's hard not to burst into laughter while reading about such a surreal explanation. The idea of attributing a vaping mishap to theatrical effects and lighting seems like something straight out of a comedy sketch. It highlights the lengths to which people sometimes go to explain away their actions when caught in an embarrassing or awkward situation. In this case, the absurdity of the excuse is truly something to behold. It's a reminder that humor often emerges from unexpected and bizarre situations, and this story certainly delivers in that regard. The internet has a way of turning such incidents into viral sensations, and it's safe to say that this one will be remembered for its sheer absurdity. While it's essential to take political matters seriously, a bit of humor now and then can provide a welcome break from the daily grind of politics. This incident, with its humorous twist, reminds us that sometimes, you just have to laugh at the absurdity of it all.
I don’t understand how oblivious someone has to be to think that no one would call them out for vaping and would think that “I don’t remember” is a good excuse. Also the fact that she had her hand between her husband’s legs and he was actively groping her chest throughout the show and this wasn’t even mentioned in the article or by her. It’s obvious if you watch the full surveillance video what’s going on. She claims to just not remember vaping and yet that is not the most offensive thing she did during the show. I’m glad someone noticed and got her kicked out because that kind of behavior in a theatre is disrespectful not just to the people around you but to the people on stage and behind it as well. To do that in a public setting and not even take accountability for it is absolutely shameful.
One of the most unbelievable things said in this article is that Boebert said that her actions were those of “a private citizen”, when you’re such a public figure, none of your actions are those of a private citizen. Also to excuse such actions because you’re going through a divorce is such a scummy thing to do, everyone is going through something, and you can’t use that to excuse actions. Everyone should know how to act when watching shows, being loud and singing along is very disrespectful to those around you and the fact that Boebert thought it was okay, either because of her divorce or public position, is deplorable, not to mention the fact that she was vaping and continued to vape after a pregnant woman asked her to stop, like how can you think that that is acceptable behavior. I also find it funny that Boebert apparently liked the show despite it having very clear jabs at the republican party, I would in no way describe Beetlejuice as a show devoid of political undertones.
While I am empathetic to the fact that U.S. Representative Lauren Boebert is going through a divorce in the public eye, it has nothing to do with her behavior at the performance of Beetlejuice. Vaping There are consequences to actions made, regardless of your celebrity status or social influence. There are so many other functions available in Denver where those attending are able to express themselves in ways that are not acceptable in a theatre. I know from other articles on the topic that Boehert and her male companion were inappropriately touching one another during the performance. If Boehert is so worried about Drag shows exposing children to excessive sexual content, she shouldn’t be sexually exploring her partner in public two rows over. I wonder if this is just Representative Boehert’s personality or if this is part of a shift of disrespecting public spacing that has been exacerbated by the pandemic. Based on my experience, people seemed to have forgotten what decent human behavior was while they were stuck behind a Zoom screen.
