The GOP congresswoman has accused trans people and drag queens of “grooming” and “sexualiz[ing]” children

Rep. Lauren Boebert has been outspoken about her disapproval of drag queens, but that didn’t stop the Colorado congresswoman from spending hundreds of campaign dollars at a bar that hosts drag shows.

According to Politico, which cited her latest Federal Election Commission filings, Boebert’s campaign spent $317.48 in July for “event catering” at Hooch Craft Cocktail Bar in Aspen, Co., which is owned by Boebert’s former boyfriend, Quinn Gallagher. Boebert and Gallagher were booted from a performance of Beetlejuice last month for disruptive conduct, including vaping, loud singing and fondling each other at the family-friendly production. Boebert later said she and Gallagher, a Democrat, had broken up. “All future date nights have been canceled. I learned to check party affiliations before you go on a date,” Boebert told TMZ.

    I love how you put “wife” in quotes as if she’s my imaginary friend, lol.

    I was trying to bring some humor to the situation with my word choice. It’s a ridiculous story of ridiculous behavior by a ridiculous person. Rather than say high beams, I probably should have said she’s a vapid, hypocritical, idiotic, white trash, no good, dumpster fire of a woman. You can see all that from the video a mile away.

      Given the fact that you made up the fact that you can see her boobs in that video, she very well might be.

      By exaggerating it to make it sound worse than it was by accusing her of doing more than she did?

      Now this is correct. Heck, you don’t even need video footage for proof of that.
