Colorado Republicans are rejecting Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) and lining up behind her primary opponent, Jeff Hurd, after she was caught vaping and groping her date during a September 10 performance of Beetlejuice at the Buell Theater in Denver.
Several prominent state Republicans recently endorsed Hurd and slammed Boebert in interviews with Time magazine — including former Colorado Governor Bill Owens, Delta County Commissioner Don Suppes, and Mesa County Commissioners Cody Davis and Bobbie Daniel.
Though she initially denied doing anything wrong at the Beetlejuice performance, auditorium camera footage showed that Boebert was indeed vaping, as well as groping and being groped by Quinn Gallagher, the owner of an Aspen bar that holds drag performances. Boebert also took a picture of the cast, which is forbidden by theater rules. After multiple patrons complained about her behavior, she was kicked out. While leaving, she flipped her middle finger at the usher and yelled, “Do you know who I am?”
Oh phew! I thought all the other things she did were what turned them against her. /S
Right? They didn’t care that she produced zero meaningful legislation or help any of their constituents. They don’t care about her lack of ethics or hypocrisy. They cared that she was caught doing teenager style shenanigans in public.
Nope, they didn't care about that either. Over a month after the fact they suddenly care because their internal polling shows her losing in 2024.
^ Boom. This right here. She skated in with 546 votes. Anyone remember the pics the night of the election? Her and her family clearly thought she lost.
I’m mildly encouraged that they still care about votes?
Guess they’ll have to gerrymander harder.
Unfortunately for them they can't do shit to gerrymander Colorado. The Governor and state house are firmly in Dem hands. So they desperately want to cling to that seat and she has no chance in the next election.
… with a drag-show hosting democrat.
That was the real offense. If that detail wasn’t true, the current story probably wouldn’t be one.
Which still surprises me–isn't that the kinda shit they normally do?!?
The problem is she might not be reelected, so the CO GOP want her to drop out so they can have someone else run.
They only care about keeping power. If her actions hadn't affected her polling, there would be crickets.
Her mistake was doing it with a Democrat. Had she been caught with a minor, the GOP would be heartily backing her.
Nah, her sin was barely winning. 500 votes I think was the line? No way she wins again and the GOP wants to get in from of that. This is the excuse.

Are you just like a troll account? You post constantly everywhere…
Ooo I post constantly everywhere, too! Can I be a bot?
Can you identify random pictures of motorcycles and bridges?
I'm sorry, but I can't identify or interpret pictures or images as I am a text-based AI model. I can only provide information and answer questions to the best of my knowledge and abilities based on the text input I receive. If you have any questions or need information about motorcycles, bridges, or any other topic, please feel free to ask, and I'll do my best to assist you with text-based information.
Really? I post regularly in like two places, which is far from "everywhere"
ANOTHER POST!
Clearly a bot.
Good bot.
Why doesn’t this comment show up in your comment history?
Who knows, I just made the comment this morning. Maybe I commented on something I have blocked, or that you have blocked from an instance. Honestly, don't know.
Edit: It shows up in my history when I view it.
Ah weird. I was just curious cuz I ran into an issue earlier this week where one of my comments disappeared and wasn’t in the modlog.
It's post-Reagan America. Even if she loses her primary, she'll be set for life. A book deal, a movie deal, and countless TV appearances.
You forget just how bat-shit-insane she is. I could see her derailing her life like one of Norfolk's trains. I can easily imagine her mugshot and heavy charges for doing something blatantly illegal and insane.
So a reality show?
Oh god… please don't give her any ideas…

Meh. Sure, she's gonna be able to leverage some of that stuff into a paycheck, but she squandered the influence of more powerful Republicans and generally acted like a spoiled child. Even MTG has more focus on the evil shit conservatives are doing and that's saying something.
Boebert isn't going to get near as many speaking invites and won't be able to charge anywhere near what other ejected Republicans can. Fucking Mike Flynn and the pillow man can charge more than boobert
I'm pretty sure her TV appearances are mostly going to be Newsmax and OAN.
And honestly, the only reason that CO repububs are being this open about ditching her is because everyone already knows her reelection bid is dead in the water. Dem Adam Frich lost by less than a thousand votes in the midterms and all projections anticipate him handily trouncing her in the next general. Its not because they actually care about her giving handies during Beetlejuice.
She was never going to get those speaker invites. Not because she is a shit show but because she never had the ability or talent to do her job. This is all she has and as such, she went full in with the innate abilities she has. From that perspective, I can understand her motivation. Work with what you have. Much like Trump.
What I can't understand is why anyone elects this shit.
From being a high school fail out to $100, 000.00 a year ? That's the new American Dream!!
I was literally just coming to comment something similar. With how mind numbingly stupid she is there is no way in hell she would deserve whatever board member seat she'll end up in after this ends. When we find out where she ends up we'll know who she's been beholden to this whole time.
Paying upfront is bribery, paying with a job after the fact somehow isn't…
Honestly jerking some dude off is the least bad thing she has done.
It's probably the nicest thing she's done.

She didn't have the courtesy to finish him off, so I'd still call it bad.
Yeah- not her shit policy, racism, or bigotry- but her behavior at a musical is what should cost her re-election.
The maga idiots loved her for policy, racism, and bigotry. She thought she was as untouchable as the impeached cheeto.
She should have opted for raping someone in a dressing room where there are no cameras.
Perfect time to bring this up, let's I'll the mass shooting manhunt, or that 220/220 Republicans just agreed a christofascist is the best option for 3rd in line to presidency. Why discuss these things when they happen when you can stuff it away for discussion when then time is more appealing to you. Fuck their cowardice.
By "Beetlejuice behavior," they're alluding to the fact that she shows up if you say her name three times.
She got caught canoodling with "the enemy". That's the line I guess.
These RINO's keep reaching across the aisle to touch democrats.
They're eating themselves.
The party of family values and personal responsibility, folks.
