Footage shows Boebert and her date fiddling with each other's privates at "Beetlejuice" musical - eviltoast

As more and more details are being revealed about Rep. Lauren Boebert’s wild night out in Denver last weekend — having been kicked out of “Beetlejuice” the musical for vaping and just generally being a public nuisance with her male companion — a full picture is coming together of what the other theater patrons around her that night had to endure.

Newly released footage of the night in question appears to show Boebert’s exposed breasts being fondled by her date for an extended period of time while she, in turn, dawdles around in his lap with her hand. As many have pointed out on social media, having seen this footage, children were seated all around the couple that night, within viewing range of what they were up to.

“Laurent Boebert was jerking her date off in public while he gropes her in a theater where children were present and yet she continues to attack LGBTQ people as ‘threats to children,’” writes journalist and clinical instructor Alejandra Caraballo on X, sharing the footage of Boebert in the act.

    What is this country coming to when you can’t even go to a production of “Beetlejuice” and jerk your date off a bit while you get your hooters groped? Everyday our traditional American values of vaping indoors and being loud and unpleasant to those around us are being stripped away by cultural Marxists and the nanny state. How are our children going to meet their future husbands as minors at bowling alleys, when said husbands can’t even publicly expose their genitalia without fear of the woke mob?

    America isn’t even half of what it used to be anymore! It’s barely even Amer! That isn’t even enough to guess the full word without the i, and soon enough we’ll lose the r, and then none of us will ever get our tits wrenched in public again!

    Can you imagine the outrage if a Democrat did something like this? It would be front page news across the country, but this kind of vile behavior in front of children is just another day in GQPLand.

          Yeah…

          Yeah.

          But we can’t stop holding our guys to a certain standard just because their guys have no standards.

          That said Franken deserved better, and it’s pointless to claim the higher ground here because they’ve made it clear that they don’t have a bottom. They can always go lower. They have no shame. Like… pathologically. They are incapable of experiencing shame as a normal person understands it.

              Agreed. The Grooming Old Perverts elected donnie, who, again, was caught, on tape, bragging about sexually assaulting women. I get we have to have a higher standard than the party of weirdos and fascists, but I still don’t understand how Franken “had” to step down.

      Already happened:

      https://ktla.com/news/local-news/burbank-mayor-fires-back-after-drag-queen-spanking-video-prompts-vile-hate-speech/

      *Edit: I guess I pissed off a bunch of people here without context, I was simply pointing out the absurdity of this story being pushed by the media and the GOP. I honestly could give two shits about what the Mayor did. I live in his city!

      I wanted to show how far these right wing fucks have to reach to get any sort of credibility with their constituents.

      The Mayor can do whatever the fuck he wants at a private event. IT WAS A PRIVATE EVENT. Why the fuck is him spanking a drag queen a big deal?! The only people that gave a shit are the people I really don’t want to be around. And now I’m feeling pretty alienated because of my lack of clarity here. The amount of anger that has been displayed here is actually disheartening. What happened to asking a simple question to get some explanation or debate going? Why is every political post so violently responded to REGARDLESS of political leaning? THIS IS WHAT THEY WANT! They want us to rip each other apart. No questions asked. A political sports contest with no winner other than the venue owners.

      I guess I’m going stop posting for a while and just lurk. I can’t say shit without having a chance to explain. I automatically get labeled with extreme prejudice.

      My fault for saying anything. Sorry to those I triggered. Sorry for trying to get some semblance of an intellectual conversation/debate going.

      The hate is strong on both sides. I’m just trying to co-exist.

      Have a good one everyone. Hope your days go well.

            Just FYI the comment you replied to said “wait until a Democrat does something like this” and you said “It’s already happened” and linked your article. The context there is that a Democrat has done an equivalent thing, not that the right is making something unequal a bigger deal than it should be. Context is important. That’s why everyone believed you were saying “what about this…” rather than “they’re trying to hide behind this.”

        Yes, being spanked as part of an 18+ drag show performance is equal to doing actual sex acts in an all-ages theater performance when you think no one is watching.

          The GOP is shit. It has been shit. It will always be shit. But this is the bullshit they’re peddling to keep the those nazi fuckers angry, and the ultra conservatives frothing at the mouth with dollars bills toward their complete and utter bullshit oroganda machine.

        So this was an all ages event with children present?

        Interesting party of the article. Maybe this isn’t the equivalency you want it to be. “While the account correctly pointed out that people 15 and older were allowed to attend, the organizer of the Drag Queen Bingo event, the Santa Clarita Valley Democrats, released a statement explaining that no one under the age of 18 was present.”

          “Methinks the lady doth protest too much”

          Context: The Queen in his play-within-a-play is going into this really overwrought excessive speech about how much she loves the husband she is about to kill.

          In this usage “protest” is not about publicly opposing something like the modern usage, it’s more like “profess”. A good modern equivalent might be “she’s laying it on a little thick”.

        Yeah but that is their justification. She was having a whirlwind romance after a divorce, which is understandable. The in group can violate boundaries and so long as it’s insufficiently grievous to the level of in/out group division and context they get away with it. The out group is incomprehensible and must be thought of within their framework. Homosexuality is a sexual sin in their framework so gay love is grossly displaying unacceptable sexual behavior. Existing as a trans person is extra gay in their framework so it must be a fetish or something sexual and sinful. And with no in group protection…

      This quote by Sartre applies to Republicans

      Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.

      In other words, they don’t care about reason or consistency. If you point out that what they said is contradictory they don’t care.

      You can’t argue with them. You can’t reason. They are consciously or otherwise operating from an emotional , literal nonsense, level of thought.

      They need to be removed from power and I don’t really care that much which box of liberty gets used to get the job done.

    Just imagine the outrage and slandering of entire demographics that would be going on if there were a gay couple instead, or if this was something that happened at a drag show.

    Just something to think about when you see your ‘christian’ republican relatives play this down

    So…were there children in the audience? Sounds like she could be forced to register as a sex offender under some American laws.

    It’s a good thing she isn’t gay! Otherwise fondling someone’s genitals in public around kids would have been a bad thing instead of a good thing.

    I think at this point we can pretty much assume that anybody who makes public speeches about sexual perversion is, themself, a pervert.

    So. Uhm.

    Groping and giving a handy in public seems to be illegal in Colorado. And probably sufficient to land her on the sexual offenders list.

        She’s an official in a place of power, so she won’t be charged. And since she’s a republican, her constituents and colleagues well almost certainly defend this disgusting behavior.
