Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) was kicked out of a Denver theater over the weekend for “causing a disturbance,” including vaping during a performance of the “Beetlejuice” musical, singing during the performance, and attempting to record portions of the event.
According to The Denver Post, Boebert and another patron were asked to leave the musical after being warned during intermission about their behavior.
The incident report states that after receiving the intermission warning, about five minutes into the second act security officials received “another complaint about the patrons being loud and at the time (they) were recording.” Taking pictures or recording is not permitted at shows.
The report quotes one of the ushers: “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.”
Boebert’s office confirmed that the congresswoman did indeed get the heave-ho from “Beetlejuice,” with Drew Sexton remarking:
“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 is running for reelection in 2024, and recent polls have shown she has a very good chance of losing to her Democratic opponent, Adam Frisch.
An early poll shows incumbent U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert and Adam Frisch, the Democrat who came close to unseating the Republican in 2022, in a tie for the seat amid current political conditions.
If the 2024 election were held today with the two candidates, 45% of voters would choose Frisch and 45% would choose Boebert, according to findings from a poll released Tuesday.
