Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) was escorted out of a Denver theater in the middle of a performance Sunday night for allegedly “causing a disturbance,” according to a new report in The Denver Post on Tuesday.
A spokesperson for Boebert’s campaign office confirmed to The Denver Post that Boebert was escorted out of the theater, but denied some of the behavior alleged in an incident report that The Denver Post obtained from venue officials.
The incident report, which did not include any names, said two patrons were asked to leave the theater about five minutes after the second act began of the touring Broadway musical “Beetlejuice.” It claimed the two patrons were vaping, singing, recording and “causing a disturbance.”
Boebert’s spokesperson, according to the Colorado newspaper, said the congresswoman denied vaping, but she admitted she took a photo during the performance and said she was not aware that photos were not allowed.
“I can confirm the stunning and salacious rumors: in her personal time, Congresswoman Lauren Boebert is indeed a supporter of the performing arts (gasp!) and, to the dismay of a select few, enthusiastically enjoyed a weekend performance of ‘Beetlejuice,’” Boebert’s campaign manager, Drew Sexton, reportedly wrote in a statement to the newspaper.
According to the incident report, the two patrons were warned during intermission to stop certain behavior after three audience members complained. The report said the patrons were escorted out after security received another complaint “about the patrons being loud and at the time (they) were recording,” The Denver Post reported.
The two patrons, even after being escorted to the lobby of the theater, refused to leave.
“They told me they would not leave. I told them that they need to leave the theater and if they do not, they will be trespassing. The patrons said they would not leave. I told them I would (be) going to get Denver Police. They said go get them,” an usher said in the incident report, according to The Denver Post.
Police reportedly arrived and stayed in the lobby until the two patrons left.
The Hill has reached out to Boebert’s office for comment.

…and…

If you don’t know you’re not supposed to whip our your mobile phone during a stage performance, I call into question the “indeed a supporter of the performing arts” by her campaign manager.
It gets better, he continued:
He added that the politician urged people to see the show, which she lauded for a “fantastic cast, tremendous visuals and plenty of loud laughs”, but “with a gentle reminder to leave their phones outside of the venue.”
Is she really a good judge to recommend seeing the show after only completing the 1st act and 5 minutes of the 2nd act before she was kicked out?
Vaping and taking pictures during the show. Just normal dumb people shit.
You missed where it says they were recording and singing too. If you pay to go see a musical, your don’t want some no-talent bint in the seat behind you screeching along with the songs. In addition, you don’t want an ignoramus in front of you holding up their phone to record it for their social media page. Plus, they were warned multiple times and kept it up.
Lmfao. We’re fucked.
"I can confirm the stunning and salacious rumors: in her personal time, Congresswoman Lauren Boebert is indeed a supporter of the performing arts
But doesn’t that make her “woke”?
she admitted she took a photo during the performance and said she was not aware that photos were not allowed
uncultured cretin, bloody tourist
in her personal time, Congresswoman Lauren Boebert is indeed a supporter of the performing arts (gasp!)
…wait, wut? …
so… just the usual willful ignorance again, I assume?
Not ignorance, it’s “I’m above these other people, so I’m allowed to do it”
Dunno, could easily go either way with her. Entitlement or stupidity, pick one, or both.
Entitled stupidity?
I prefer stupid entitlement.
I’ve worked at a Walmart before, so I stick by mine. lol.
Both. Definitely both.
When an establishment warns you that they’ll call the cops for trespassing … it’s because they really just want you to go, and nobody wants to be dealing with your bullshit.
Cops don’t want to deal with it either and they don’t really have a choice but to take you out. (Private property, and the theater absolutely will make a stink if they let her stay.)
99% of the time the worst that will happen is they will slap some cuffs on drive you out of sight and let you go with a “don’t do this again.” … and that assumes you’re stupid enough to not just go when they ask. Or when they show up, or when you see the staff whip out the phones and start calling…
… or you know, when the staff asks you to leave…
patrons were warned during intermission to stop certain behavior
Not ignorance. They knew and were warned but just didn’t give a shit.
Gotta be honest, after reading that second line I failed to read the rest. Already enough blackout stupid in play for me. (Seriously, who vapes in a public theater these days.)
Going back to it, it’s totally on brand for her to be escorted to the lobby but refuse to leave.
She’s paid by the GOP to be a loud actor on the political stage. How are people missing this? They’re literally on a payroll and each told how to act.
That’s why we are all kinda confused when the GOP gets an Uncle Tom who throws their own under the bus.
Sometimes the simplest explanation is the right one. She’s just an entitled idiot.
This isn’t going to help either her or the GOP.
ikr, it’s like “fren? no wait, it’s a trap”
The “arts”
Touring company for “Beetlejuice: The Musical”
Was trying not to judge or minimize the show, but yeah I lol’d at that one too
“They told me they would not leave. I told them that they need to leave the theater and if they do not, they will be trespassing. The patrons said they would not leave. I told them I would [be] going to get Denver Police. They said go get them,” an usher said in the incident report.
Sounds about right. The circus tent for your clown show is that way, Boebert.
The usher should run for Congress.
wildly missed opportunity to mention Beetlejuice one last time in the article and post his picture at the end
“DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?!?”
Mam, I assure you, that is not going to help.
LOL:
"the two patrons were vaping, singing, recording and “causing a disturbance.”
“the congresswoman denied vaping”
She not only admitted to singing, but to singing “too loud.” What kind of absolute utter fucking moron thinks it’s okay to sing along with a live theater performance? And she claims to be a supporter of the performing arts.
Entitled and completely disregarding other people’s ability to enjoy a show… It’s so out of character! /s
Everyone really needs to start jeering these people in every public space. On the streets, in stores, in restaurants, etc. Give them no peace while in public.
Boebert escorted out of Denver theater
Took a sec to determine if that meant she asked/forced to leave, or if she found a new venue for an old job, lol.
It’s interesting someone in congress has the time (or need) to get their breast implants upgraded. The difference in two years is staggering.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
A spokesperson for Boebert’s campaign office confirmed to The Denver Post that Boebert was escorted out of the theater, but denied some of the behavior alleged in an incident report that The Denver Post obtained from venue officials.
The incident report, which did not include any names, said two patrons were asked to leave the theater about five minutes after the second act began of the touring Broadway musical “Beetlejuice.” It claimed the two patrons were vaping, singing, recording and “causing a disturbance.”

The original article contains 353 words, the summary contains 169 words. Saved 52%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Everytime I see her , she reminds me of a pornstar whose name I forgot. Boys, Is there a lookalike out there?,
She kinda looks like Sarah Palin who was played by Lisa Ann in at least one porn parody.
Thanks mate
