Colorado GOP turns on Lauren Boebert & says her Beetlejuice behavior should cost her reelection
"What she did at Beetlejuice was altogether indefensible,” one state Republican official said...
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
115Right? 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.

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.
58Her mistake was doing it with a Democrat. Had she been caught with a minor, the GOP would be heartily backing her.
54Nah, 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.

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.
41You 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.
31Meh. 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.
21She 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.
6From 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.
40It's probably the nicest thing she's done.
14Absolutely the most selfless.

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.
39The 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.
22Perfect 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.
16By "Beetlejuice behavior," they're alluding to the fact that she shows up if you say her name three times.
10She got caught canoodling with "the enemy". That's the line I guess.
9These RINO's keep reaching across the aisle to touch democrats.
4
They're eating themselves.
4The party of family values and personal responsibility, folks.
2She'll have to move back home to her moms house which I believe is wasilla alaska.
