A Colorado anchorman had Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) back on her heels during a debate among candidates seeking the House seat representing the state's 4th district by pressing her on her lies about her Beetlejuice groping theater scandal.The contentious back and forth between Channel 9's Kyle Clark ...
“Private moment” as in being out in public at a well attended event… How dare people hold her accountable for her actions and treat her as the vile individual she is? /s
That was only looked at in the first place because she was caught vaping in a crowded theater, then had the nerve to deny it and lash out at the workers for having the audacity to call her out on it.
My favorite part was at the end, when he simply ignored her and moved on.
It’ll be nice when she loses her seat. Some unwatchable “news” network might hire her, but eventually she’ll fade into obscurity, which is where she belongs.
I think the rules are typically negotiable in advance, especially when it's down to just 2 contenders.
Debates have the potential to show more than eloquence or intelligence, they also show soft skills like whether the candidate can control the conversation, control under pressure, how easily they succumb when bullied, and give the audience an opportunity to read their body language, which may develop (or remove) trust.
Biden famously told Trump in a debate: "would you shut up, man?" And in that moment quite a few Americans were swayed to select him believing he's not susceptible to getting run over by trump mouth diarrhea attack like so many other politicians are.
Unfortunately, way too many people view Gish Gallop style "debates" to be the only way to have a debate. Shouting someone else down is viewed as "powerful" and the sign of a real leader or something.
The right cannot debate. They would get absolutely obliterated in a debate. The only thing they can do is get loud, sling insults and lie. It's like an adult trying to argue with a spoiled second grader that wasn't allowed to have desert after dinner.
Go look up the debates between Biden and Trump from the 2020 campaign. Biden literally had to ask Trump to "shut up" on stage. The Cheeto-dusted dipshit literally could not stop interrupting. How embarrassing.
“… I'm apologizing for you, Kyle Clark, for getting video and releasing that and people seeing it in a very private moment.”
lmfao.. these dipshits always try the uno reverse “no u” response and it literally never works. Reminds me of when MTG told a BBC reporter “you’re a conspiracy theorist”, cursed her out, and then stormed off. Boebert is just the pathetic screeching version of this instead of the roid rage version.
As a cringetologist I have to inform you, that you actually turned yourself into a black hole and emerged from a white hole in this mirror universe.
Congratulations, you are now extroverted and trust me, you will need all the friends you can find up in here.
I couldn't quite figure out what color her skin was supposed to be. At least she feathers hers in and doesn't look like she was hit in the face with a cream pie.
Respectfully, I think there are plenty of legitimate criticisms we can make without resorting to making fun of her appearance.
Edit for clarity:
Imagine if you were a woman who disagreed wholeheartedly with Lauren Boebert, and found her a wretched human being, but happened to look a lot like her. Then you see others who think like you do attacking her appearance.
Why would we create an environment that alienates people on anything other than ideological or moral grounds? The only people our criticisms should repel are people with dangerous ideologies that we don't want to be associated with.
It's not the crime, but the coverup. So much of this would be a non-issue if she'd simply owned it, rather than talking out of both sides of her mouth.
Again, every time I see Lauren Boebert’s face, I just picture Sarah Palin running away from a bad taco truck, about nine months before Lauren’s birth. 🤷♀️
I guess she doesn’t know what “expected level of privacy” law means yet. She will though if she tries to pursue it. Anything outside of a bathroom or private owned business you can’t sue someone for filming footage as you can’t expect privacy. Or maybe she knows this so caustic words is all she can think to do.
It's about public access. If the public is generally allowed in a space, you have no expectation of privacy in that space. Anyone can have an eidetic memory, which is as good as having a camera in their hand. If they can hear it, see it, or reach it from a public space, you can't consider it secure.
Ok so for any of you confused about what would be an expected level of privacy while recording people in public with a cel phone:
The person working the back office of Walmart crunching numbers where customers aren’t allowed has an expected level of privacy.
The people using the bathroom in Walmart also have expected level of privacy.
The people in the changing room has an expected level of privacy.
If you were caught with a cel phone recording in any of these circumstances you could be persecuted for violating privacy.
If however you’re walking around on the main floor of Walmart recording a person looking at the price on a can of beans, you’re safe from legal prosecution as far as privacy laws (although that isn’t to say you are safe from being charged as a stalker or harassment in a certain context) .
And legally you could record what cops are doing out in public.
Kyle Clark is a Colorado treasure. I watched his show almost every night since 2018 until I moved out of Colorado. He is witty, insightful and just the right amount of sarcastic. I hope he is still on air when I finally go back home
TBF if I were running for a public office that oversees civil rights, infrastructure, military, and a national budget and a debate moderator was asking me questions about a public sex act then I would also be a little peeved.
That said, taking an unbiased stance with people like her is an impossible task from the very beginning.
Leadership. I am a strong conservative with principles that I will always stand up for.
I’ll hold myself accountable and you can, too. I can be reached at Lauren@LaurenforColorado.com.
If part of your campaign is specifically about being principled and holding yourself accountable, a sex act in a public space is absolutely fair game regardless of the venue in which the question is posed.
I’ve become generally hyperconscious of the male tendency to forcibly talk over people, especially women, as a matter of societal equity that I should do my best to pay into… but this is an instance of “I’ll allow it”.
Boebert is an absolute imbecile of a human being, and insults the very concept of democracy by the fact that enough imbeciles were fooled by such imbecilic rhetoric to elect her in the fucking first place. She is not a good person, and has clearly not developed any level of personal or social maturity beyond that of a middle schooler.
I don't agree with you focusing on that aspect of this interaction but it is interesting to see how many downvotes you got just for pointing out the gender dynamics of men talking over women. Men can be really sensitive to that sort of thing. Source: I am man.
