Lauren Boebert Apologizes for Vaping in a Denver Theater

The New York Times: Representative Lauren Boebert, a hard-right Republican rabble-rouser from Colorado, apologized on Friday night for her behavior at a recent performance of the family-friendly musical “Beetlejuice” in Denver, after surveillance video revealed her vaping and behaving disruptively in the theater.

Alright Lauren Boebert, is a very interesting lady. As someone who lived in Colorado for basically my whole life, seeing this article honestly doesn’t surprise me. What makes me confused however is the bold denial of her actions, and the attempts to apologize by saying she “forgot her values”. She is basically saying, I’m so sorry I forgot who I was for a moment and acted horribly to other people and made a spectacle of myself. If she gets re-elected I will be astounded because this isn’t the first one of her incidents. I really appreciate the Bellco for throwing her out (I know it was the Bellco because I wanted to see Beetlejuice there but came to school instead!). They were well within their rights and I just hope no one spins them to put them in a negative light. I also hope Boebert learns how to behave in public and cease being a nuisance.
