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.

    If she was a man she’d have been arrested already and publicly shamed as a pervert. They’d also question whether any of it was consensual.

      She is being shamed publicly as a pervert, that’s what we’re all doing right now and what these news sites are doing.

          No, which I think is more to do with having political power. Afterall there was two people that were committing this crime simultaneously so in this case it’s not a good argument to say it’s because she’s a woman.

      The person she was with started it by grabbing her tits for a while. So, probably not.

      Franken was made to step down for posing to pretend to grab some boobage; Qbert has actual grope session with children present and still has her job - for now anyway.
