The Republican firebrand is now apologizing to her constituents for her infamous "Beetlejuice" blunder where she was caught on tape vaping and groping with a date.

    Pfft. She’s not sorry. She’s sorry she couldn’t bully her way through it. She doesn’t belong in public office, not even as a village dog catcher.

    “Most of us were like ‘holy cow,’” said Beverly Cuyler, a long-time Boebert supporter. “And one of the big reasons for that is a gap between how she presented herself as a Christian and what ended up happening.”

    Oh, now you’re clutching your pearls?

    It’s an unusual tone for Boebert. The congresswoman’s unapologetic, Trumpian style had propelled her to MAGA stardom nationwide; now, she’s fighting for political survival at home.

    If I remember correctly it was the leader of the MAGA party that said something to the effect of grab 'em by the pussy. I’d bet a tRump buck that she voted for the literal embodiment of the anti Christ from the bible.

      For that reason and others, I don’t buy that these jamokes really cared in the first place. What are they gonna do now anyway, not vote for her? Let some child molester from the democrat party win? Psh, yeah right, and Jason Aldean isn’t truly a small-town good ol’ boy.

      Why even bother with the fake apology?

        At this point I honestly don’t think more than a quarter of the party actually know who represents them and just check any box with an R next to it.

        99% of the time, I would agree with this.

        But in this case, she was already in a lot of trouble before Beetlejuice. This is one of the rare cases where they really might vote for someone else. Might.

          She only won by ~500 votes after a recount. But she’s got to win the primary first, which I suspect will still happen with these maga voters.

            I would actually prefer that she wins the primary, then loses the general.

            The district is normally R+ double digits. If she loses her primary, her district will likely overwhelmingly vote for whoever the R candidate is. If she wins her primary, there’s a very real chance the seat turns blue for at least the next couple of years.

              Is there anyone in her district who is less qualified and more insane than she is, who could win the primary? Either way, agreed.

                I’m honestly not sure if “Less qualified than Lauren Boebert” and “More Insane than Lauren Boebert” are lows that can simultaneously be accomplished by a functioning human being. I mean seriously, how low do you have to get to be an incredibly (physically) attractive Republican woman, running in an R+20 district that has MAGA basically injected directly into their veins, and still be so bad that some of them not only decided to vote for a filthy liberal Democrat last time, but may very well do so again.

                That is a spectacular level of fail. You almost have to intentionally try to fail that hard.

    She could try servicing her constituents. Just escort them one by one to each and every community theater show and it would be a handy way to win…

    Feigned humility. She vaped next to a pregnant woman despite being asked not to, got sexually hands-y at a family musical with children around, and when finally asked to leave, flipped the people doing their job off while loudly swearing and pulled the “don’t you know who I am” card.

    When people show you who they are, believe them. Come on, Colorado: you can do better than this for a Public Servant…

    If you’re in Colorado and are sick and tired of your beautiful state being associated with this low-rent Sarah Palin, you might be interested in supporting Adam Frisch

        I’m aware of that, and I’m in the part not represented by her, but I still sent Frisch a contribution. People hear Colorado and they think of her. It’s embarrassing for all of us.

          It’s also the case that she won against Frisch in the last election by only a few hundred votes in a district that’s been solid red for a long time, showing that even Republicans in her district are growing tired of her. I feel like if we can give Adam a little push he can take it next time.

    Literally the only thing I’ve ever liked about Boebert was when she showed that she’s a big ol hoe

    It’s maybe the only thing we’ve ever had in common

    This will probably go down just like when Marjorie Trailer Park Greene tried to repackage herself as a humble centrist. I think it lasted a few days until she ditched the facade and just went right back to being a cunt. I expect the same here.

    I really hate being so shallow, but just seeing here face makes my blood boil. I just hope it’s simply the news papers picking the dumbest photos possible.
