00:00 Lauren Boebert's only crime was loving the theater too much, you Puritan.

00:04 You cast the first stone if you haven't blamed your worst behavior on the natural

00:07 anxiety of being in a new environment and the excitement of seeing the much-anticipated

00:12 production of the Beetlejuice musical.

00:14 Republican Congresswoman Lauren Boebert famously knows how to be disruptive.

00:18 It's her thing.

00:19 She goes toe-to-toe with would-be gun regulators, drag queens, Muslims, and even fellow Freedom

00:25 Caucus members.

00:26 To Boebert and her far-right base, all the world's a schoolyard in which to pick fights

00:30 and maybe hit vapes.

00:32 This is all to say that it's not so surprising that disruption and vaporization would be

00:36 her main approach when she went to see a traveling stage performance of the Beetlejuice musical

00:41 in Denver on September 10, the Congresswoman and her date.

00:44 Reportedly, a Denver bar owner who skews Democratic had a blast until they didn't.

00:48 They were asked to leave the show after fellow theatergoers complained of Boebert's vaping

00:52 and general loudness, and the pair could be seen groping each other on surveillance footage.

00:57 On the way out, per the security report obtained by the Denver NBC affiliate, she said, "Do

01:02 you know who I am?

01:03 And I am on the board, and I will be contacting the mayor."

01:06 She's since denied this last bit.

01:08 "There's reports saying I was arguing, threatening to call the Denver mayor.

01:11 I don't know why I would ever call the Denver mayor.

01:13 I think he would have tried to lock me up," she said Sunday in an interview with the far-right

01:17 news network OAN.

01:19 Initially, Boebert said that she was kicked out for enjoying the musical too much.

01:23 "I plead guilty to laughing and singing too loud," she tweeted.

01:26 "This is true, in a way."

01:28 Boebert was not lying.

01:29 She really did seem to be enjoying everything around her too much.

01:32 The Congresswoman with the teenage worldview was remembering what it was like to physically

01:36 be a teenager, Avie.

01:38 Denver's 9 News obtained a recording of the incident, and the video clearly shows Boebert

01:42 vaping, dancing, and partaking in some light groping with her companion.

01:46 The video also shows a pregnant woman behind her leaning forward and saying something to

01:50 her.

01:51 There's no audio, but the woman told the Denver Post that she asked Boebert to stop

01:54 vaping.

01:55 Boebert would not.

01:56 Please, a round of applause for local journalism and night vision technology.

02:00 Boebert had initially denied the vaping portion of the incident, but had to walk that back

02:04 when confronted with the video of herself vaping a ton.

02:07 She blamed her divorce and the natural anxiety of being in a new environment.

02:11 Whether it was the excitement of seeing a much-anticipated production or the natural

02:14 anxiety of being in a new environment, I genuinely did not recall vaping that evening when I

02:19 discussed the night's events with my campaign team while confirming my enthusiasm for the

02:23 musical.

02:24 The statement read, "Regardless of my belief, it's clear now that was not accurate."

02:29 The Congresswoman also told OAN, "I was a little too eccentric.

02:32 I'm very known for having an animated personality, maybe overtly animated personality.

02:37 I was laughing, I was singing, having a fantastic time," Boebert said.

02:41 "Was told to kinda settle it down a little bit, which I did, but then my next slip-up

02:45 was taking a picture."

02:46 Who Among Us has not forgotten our disturbing actions due to the thrill of finally getting

02:50 to see the Beetlejuice musical?

02:52 Who Among Us has not been punished by the media for our sparkling personality?

02:56 Who Among Us has not suppressed all memory of certain behaviors due to the natural anxiety

03:01 of being in a new environment?

03:03 Consider this before casting the first stone.

03:05 Social media users have sparked a new theory relating to the CCTV footage of Colorado Rep

03:10 Lauren Boebert in which she was seen vaping and inappropriately touching her male companion

03:14 at a Denver theater last week.

03:15 It turns out Lauren Boebert's mystery man is a Democrat bar owner.

03:19 If I was a wagering enthusiast, I would bet this guy was paid to set her up.

03:23 She's coming off a divorce and she's vulnerable.

03:25 This guy comes into her life, charms her, seduces her, and then probably gets her liquored

03:29 up and takes her out in public.

03:31 Stage set, journalist Liz Crokin wrote on ex, formerly Twitter.

03:36 He then instigates her by fondling her in a theater that just happens to have night

03:39 vision cameras rain on them.

03:41 Then the whole incident is released to the public in what looks like high definition

03:44 video in an attempt to harm her reputation.

03:47 This is all way too convenient.

03:49 Whether her date was a part of it or not, this seems like a well-coordinated setup.

03:53 These types of tactics and traps are used all the time and I would know, the post from

03:57 Crokin added.

03:58 Last week, Boebert was seen on surveillance footage vaping and taking photographs while

04:02 attending Beetlejuice, the musical at the Buell Theater in Denver, Colorado.

04:06 Boebert and her male companion, who was identified as Quinn Gallagher, were also seen touching

04:10 each other during the show, prompting the claims on social media.

04:13 The Daily Mail recently reported that Gallagher is believed to be a Democrat.

04:17 Other reports show that Gallagher is the co-owner of the Hoochcraft Cocktail Bar, which has

04:21 hosted several LGBTQ+ related events such as a drag show in recent months, which contrasts

04:27 with Boebert's beliefs in Congress.

04:29 Over the weekend, a number of other social media users echoed similar claims that Boebert's

04:34 removal from the theater was a planned incident.

04:36 It is almost like he knew a camera was pointed at them.

04:39 Curious.

04:40 His business has come into question and a known Democrat.

04:42 Was this a setup all along?

04:44 @LaurenBoebert should re-evaluate her selection of dates for certain.

04:47 He hurts politically bad, but might be the objective.

04:50 Ex-user Seaside Folly wrote.

04:52 Another ex-user, Wilford Riley, wrote.

04:55 Reasonably high odds this is either a setup or a situation where some funny guy on Tinder

04:59 thought "hell, may as well see if I can sleep with @LaurenBoebert" and went for it.

05:04 Boebert initially claimed that she wasn't vaping during the musical but later issued

05:07 an apology, saying, "There's no perfect blueprint for going through a public and difficult

05:11 divorce, which over the past few months has made for a challenging personal time for me

05:15 and my entire family.

05:16 I've tried to handle it with strength and grace as best I can, but I simply fell short

05:21 at my values on Sunday.

05:22 That's unacceptable and I'm sorry."

05:24 The statement continued, "Whether it was the excitement of seeing a much-anticipated

05:28 production or the natural anxiety of being in a new environment, I genuinely did not

05:32 recall vaping that evening when I discussed the night's events with my campaign team

05:36 while confirming my enthusiasm for the musical.

05:39 Regardless of my belief, it's clear now that was not accurate.

05:42 It was not my or my campaign's intention to mislead, but we do understand the nature

05:46 of how this looks.

05:47 We know we will have to work to earn your trust back, and it may not happen overnight,
