The GOP congresswoman has accused trans people and drag queens of “grooming” and “sexualiz[ing]” children

Rep. Lauren Boebert has been outspoken about her disapproval of drag queens, but that didn’t stop the Colorado congresswoman from spending hundreds of campaign dollars at a bar that hosts drag shows.

According to Politico, which cited her latest Federal Election Commission filings, Boebert’s campaign spent $317.48 in July for “event catering” at Hooch Craft Cocktail Bar in Aspen, Co., which is owned by Boebert’s former boyfriend, Quinn Gallagher. Boebert and Gallagher were booted from a performance of Beetlejuice last month for disruptive conduct, including vaping, loud singing and fondling each other at the family-friendly production. Boebert later said she and Gallagher, a Democrat, had broken up. “All future date nights have been canceled. I learned to check party affiliations before you go on a date,” Boebert told TMZ.

          No, they got booted because she refused to stop vaping even though vaping isn’t allowed, mouthed off to a pregnant lady, was generally being obnoxious, and played the “do you know who I am?” card when asked to tone it down. A review of the security footage later showed that she was also fondling him during the performance, but there’s no reports that she exposed herself, outside of the dress itself she was wearing accentuating her cleavage.

          Given her attractiveness, if she whipped her boobs out during that incident, the footage would have made its way to every site from Reddit to Pornhub in record time.

          EDIT: Everybody is linking to the original footage and while yes, they were groping each other. However, at no point did she “whip out her boebs”.
