Opinion: Boebert’s “outrageous” behavior at “Beetlejuice” shows, again, her astounding sense of entitlement

U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert will probably try to spin her latest embarrassing incident as a cultural war victory against the “elitist” liberals.

    She’s very pro-life.

    Boebert didn’t care if she ruined the musical “Beetlejuice” playing at the Buell Theatre for anyone else, and she certainly didn’t care if the pregnant woman sitting behind her had to breathe her second-hand smoke from a vape pen.

    …

    “These people in front of us were outrageous. I’ve never seen anyone act like that before,” the woman, who lives in Denver and is in her 30s, said. It wasn’t until later during the play that someone informed her that the misbehaving theatergoer was, in fact, Boebert, a member of Congress.

    The woman says Boebert took multiple long videos during the first half of the performance. When she asked Boebert to stop vaping, the congresswoman simply said “no,” the woman said. Boebert was also kissing the man she was with, and singing along loudly with her hands in the air, the woman said.

    “At intermission, I asked, ‘Are there any other seats available? Can we sit somewhere else?’” the woman said. “The usher said, ‘You’re not the first complaint we had.’ ”

    When the woman returned with her husband to their seats, she said Boebert called her a “sad and miserable person.”

    “The guy she was with offered to buy me and my husband cocktails. I’m pregnant!” she said.

    But the behavior continued, with Boebert using her phone to record several segments of the second half of the show.

      Boebert has also vehemently denied she was vaping since she was thrown out. Turns out there’s a video and it’s another example of what a vile human being she is.

            No problem. It’s a common misconception.

        No, it really isn’t. There’s a ton of other shit in it. Like nicotine. It’s still terrible for you.

        You’ve already gotten a few corrections from other folks, I’ll just add that in the 70s there was no secondhand smoke from smoking either.
