When a pregnant woman seated behind Boebert asked her to stop vaping during show, the politician...

...

Boebert didn’t care if she ruined the musical “Beetlejuice” playing at the Buell Theatre for anyone else, and she certainly didn’t care if the pregnant woman sitting behind her had to breathe her second-hand smoke from a vape pen. Boebert denies that she was vaping, although she did admit to taking photos of the live performance.

The woman sitting directly behind Boebert shared her story with The Post on the condition of anonymity out of fear that there would be backlash from the congresswoman and her supporters. She provided me with the receipt for her tickets and a photo from the event that shows Boebert seated in front of her.

The woman described the evening as surreal. She didn’t even recognize Boebert as Colorado’s congresswoman who represents the Western Slope and southern Colorado.

“These people in front of us were outrageous. I’ve never seen anyone act like that before,” the woman, who lives in Denver and is in her 30s, said. It wasn’t until later during the play that someone informed her that the misbehaving theatergoer was, in fact, Boebert, a member of Congress.

The woman says Boebert took multiple long videos during the first half of the performance. When she asked Boebert to stop vaping, the congresswoman simply said “no,” the woman said. Boebert was also kissing the man she was with, and singing along loudly with her hands in the air, the woman said.

“At intermission, I asked, ‘Are there any other seats available? Can we sit somewhere else?’” the woman said. “The usher said, ‘You’re not the first complaint we had.’ ”

When the woman returned with her husband to their seats, she said Boebert called her a “sad and miserable person.”

All the footage of her starting with her being asked to leave the theater. The escort out, the whole walk out of the building and grounds and down the sidewalk for quite a ways. She was twirling around. She had to pull her dress up over her cleavage because she was nearly falling out of her dress. Holding hands with her companion and swing her arms like a flippin child.

I figured she was on something for sure.

…are quite small, in the segment where she is hiking up her dress, she is either wearing an industrial strength push up bra, or she’s been surgically enhanced. She’s definitely on the slender side, and in that picture she has cleavage up to her collar bones - unlikely in someone who is thin everywhere else.

And, older pictures of her show her as modestly endowed at most.

Neither here nor there, but it caught my eye.

Divorced, oil worker husband with limited earnings, no healthcare so probably Medicaid, four kids including one with a new infant. I bet SNAP and subsidized school lunches. GED education (on the fourth try) so no job prospects.

The only other incident I had was in college and I was in the room of another guy. Probably drunk. He took a swing at me and I ducked. His fist hit the glasses on a bar tray on his dresser.
