8. And straight to the slut shaming...

SMH

[whathehell]

39. Thank You!

So glad to see someone else here who gets it.

[whathehell]

11. Not so fast..As mentioned by others here,

this video is likely a fake.
.

[Recycle_Guru]

47. not a fake

[whathehell]

63. Is a fake

No way -- Way!!

[yardwork]

52. See post 28.

[whathehell]

64. Saw it..

not impressed.

[Kingofalldems]

57. Not fake.

"likely a fake"?

[whathehell]

61. The woman's face is BLURRED, bro

What part of that do you not understand?

[Kingofalldems]

71. I understand the part where she gave an 'apology' today.

I ain't your bro either.

[whathehell]

76. Did she apologize for "groping"?

Nah. I didn't think so.

[Kingofalldems]

77. Because she's a liar.

[whathehell]

82. Oh, is THAT the reason, lol?

Sorry, "king", but blanket invalidations don't cut it

[Kingofalldems]

85. Believe what you want---do not care.

Bye.

[whathehell]

86. Lol

You don't care?..Since when?

Never mind..It's a wise man who can accept defeat.

[Haggard Celine]

2. I didn't know she was having an affair.

Is she divorced now, or does she not give a shit?

[Chainfire]

7. It appears that it was not only his hands that were busy.

You can put a hick in Congress, but you cant take the hick out of the congressperson. She is better suited to sit on a barstool hustling drinks rather than in the Congress of the United States. She is an idiot for getting caught in her adolescent playtime. I would like to know what she was vaping because she appears to be impaired in the full video.

A computer cleanup of that video will make great campaign ads for her opposition, title it "Smokin and Gropin."

[Haggard Celine]

21. I agree!

I would use that footage if I were running against her. Trashy is as trashy does. Does the new guy show his penis to school girls like the old guy did?

[LisaL]

79. She is in the process of divorcing as far as I can tell.

NT

[Wingus Dingus]

3. Possible deep fake or manipulated somehow? Otherwise, ewwww.

[delisen]

4. Boebert is very Old Bible Babylonian. Must be the End Times

She will soon be escorted to the Gates of Hell. Another win for Satan.

[indigoth]

5. I'm less concerned.

I’m less concerned about her apparel and more concerned about her behavior.

You can go to any beach and see more skin. But behavior … that shows everyone what kind of person you are.

[whathehell]

6. I doubt that this b&w video is actually Boebert..

It's grainy and unclear, and there are no signs of vaping.

[Chainfire]

9. It is clear in other footage.

[Deuxcents]

14. Very clearly vaping.. and groping

No excuse for her behavior in public

[whathehell]

30. There's no visible "groping" in the second vid,

only vaping. The groping occurs in the first vid, which is blurred and impossible to authenticate as Boebert.

[Kingofalldems]

58. Yeah looks like she massaged his penis a little bit also.

[whathehell]

60. In your mind only, bro.

[whathehell]

16. We'll have to see that "other footage"

to make the comparison..There's no signs of vaping, and it's just a blurry old vid of people who could be anyone.

[Chainfire]

18. https://www.democraticunderground.com/1017862828

Start at 2:29 in the video and I think you will be convinced. She is either vaping or she is a dragon.

[whathehell]

35. Your link won't open..

The second vid shows her vaping, the first does not, and the first blurs the face completely.

[Hekate]

40. Try this

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100218275301

[whathehell]

43. I did, and it's shot at such a distance,

one can see very little. The narrator identifies her and talks about vaping, singing, selfies and all around disruptive behavior.. The last remark is about the male briefly trys to get "things in hand", before an usher approaches then..That is NOTHING like the extensive " "gropping" shown in the first b&w vid featuring an anynomous male and a blurred face woman.

[Hekate]

56. As I said, you do you. Ciao.

[Hekate]

31. The security vid from the theater was posted yesterday & followed the lively couple from their seats

…to the street. She was feeling no pain and periodically twirled on the way out.

It’s Bobo all right. Some even heard her yell, “Do you know who I am?”

It is really not slut shaming to call out a Family Values Republican for sexually trashy behavior in public. But as the saying goes, YMMV.

[whathehell]

36. I saw the lobby shot, but,

the lively couple were not, as you might expect, "groping" and "vaping" there.

[Hekate]

38. No, they were doing that in their seats, which is why they got escorted out. People all around them

…were asking the ushers if they themselves could move. You can see the very pregnant lady lean forward to ask Bobo to stop the vaping — to which Bobo is reported to have mocked, “You are a very sad person, you know.”

[whathehell]

42. One can see they are vaping, but

the ONLY vid that shows "groping" is the first black and white and in it, the woman's face is completely blurred.. I'm not defending her as a lawmaker, but I find the ill-founded "slut shaming" sexist and deplorable.

[Hekate]

44. Well, you do you. I don't call it slut-shaming to call out the hideous hypocrisy of Family Values...

…RW Christian Republicans. I saw what I saw.

By the way, you can count me among those who never had a harsh word for Stormy Daniels’ choice of career. It was not a choice I ever could have made — but she was upfront and honest about herself, and I respected her for that.

[whathehell]

66. I agree, but this thread has gone WAY beyond that,

and I think you know it..All the smarmy comments on her "boobs," etc? Those are not being made to address "hypocrisy"..They're enjoying themselves way too much.

[Hekate]

68. There's at least half a dozen more threads even worse. We're not showing our best side just now.

Some of the comments (and a meme or 10 ) are just ick.

But the woman is just rude, crude, ignorant, narcissistic, and classless beyond belief. That’s her nature that has been on display in the US House of Representatives all this time.

[whathehell]

69. How nice..

Very reassuring in regard to gender equality here on DU.. Nice to see everyone being held accountable on that issue.

Yes, she's "rude, crude" and the rest, but one need not use sexist framing and terminology, especially when, as noted before, the woman in the first b&w "groping" vid, can NOT even be identified as Boebert!

In my opinion, it's just an excuse to slut shame, an opportunity to indulge their misogyny by picking on a politically "deserving" target.
:

[Hekate]

70. Well, were you around DU for the "I have a wide stance" airport bathroom stall scandal?

The “I was not seeing my Argentinian mistress, I was hiking the Appalachian Trail” scandal?

Trump’s tiny mushroom? Trump getting spanked with a — well, anything Trump.

Those all involved male Republican politicians, and DU went at them full steam ahead. We actually are equal opportunity offenders in that regard.

[whathehell]

72. I have seen it

but I don't view them as equal -- not in intensity, and not in frequency..The wide stance thing must have happened a decade ago, ditto for the Appalachian Trail guy.

I agree with writer Katha Pollitt in saying that "Misogyny is the last acceptable bigotry of the Left".

Video appears to show Rep. Lauren Boebert vaping at ‘Beetlejuice’ show before she was ejected
By JESSE BEDAYN and MATTHEW BROWN
Updated 11:47 AM CDT, September 15, 2023

DENVER (AP) — Newly released surveillance video from a Denver theater appears to show Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert vaping during a “Beetlejuice” musical play — the one thing she denied doing while acknowledging earlier this week that she had been kicked out for being disruptive.

Boebert and her guest were escorted out of the play Sunday after audience members accused two guests of vaping, singing, using phones and causing a disturbance, according to theater representatives and video from the publicly owned Buell Theater.

When the lights were still on and as people were taking their seats around Boebert, she can be seen in the surveillance video talking with her companion. Boebert then reaches beneath her seat and puts an object up to her mouth for a moment before blowing out a cloud of vapor or smoke, the footage first reported by KUSA-TV shows.

The footage also shows flashes from Boebert’s phone as she holds it up and appears to take photos of herself during the performance.

[whathehell]

26. That's a different vid -- This one does showsvaping,

but unlike the first, no "fondling" at all.

[Biophilic]

13. Sorry, it goes right along with the other slices of security cameras.

It is truly disgusting and so republican of her; I couldn’t care less about the people around me.

[whathehell]

19. Sorry, but I'd have to see that other footage,

'cause this looks like bs to me.

[Nevilledog]

20. What basis do you have to say these are deepfaked?

[whathehell]

24. I didn't say they were "deep faked"

I said " fake" -- That said, my reasons are as stated -- vid is very blurred and there's no sign of vaping.

[Nevilledog]

28. 16 seconds in. It's very clear.

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100218273350

[Kingofalldems]

45. Oops.

So it's not fake. Thanks.

[yardwork]

51. It looks very clear to me.

[Recycle_Guru]

49. what are your thoughts now on its authenticity

[MarineCombatEngineer]

84. Seems pretty clear to me that she and her date were

engaged in sexual activity in the theater, along with her vaping and being disruptive.

[3catwoman3]

10. I find it horrifying that this classless moron...

…has reproduced 4 times.

[C_U_L8R]

15. Phony Boebs

I wonder if they honk like a clown's nose when you squeeze em.

[Hekate]

34. Have to ask her BF there, as he seemed to be trying

[onethatcares]

17. and that my friends

is why they call em "BOOBs"

one would think this is the first time her escort saw a pair. I wonder if he'll stick around long enough while gravity takes over?

[Emile]

22. Someone posted yesterday the guy she is dating has a drag queen bar.

[Recycle_Guru]

48. no, they mentioned his bar in Aspen has hosted drag queens in the past

[Emile]

54. Thanks for clearing that up.

[Johnny2X2X]

25. Practically had them out

This is not at a bar. It’s at a play where people get dressed up to watch a musical. Groping in public like that is classless. Vaping indoors is illegal most places.

She’s just a trashy person. There are people like her everywhere. Live and let live normally, but this is a a member of Congress. If she was a Dem it would be all over FOX and Republicans would be screaming for censure.

[whathehell]

27. The first vid is very blurred and inconclusive..

and it's sad that some here are so anxious to find an "easy", i.e., conservative, female target to slut shame, they'll accept anything as "evidence".

[Nevilledog]

29. I'm at a loss how you can't see what's clearly happening

Link to tweet

I'm guessing you also don't see her putting both of her hands between his legs?

[whathehell]

32. That's not the issue -- The first vid shows "what's happening",

What it does NOT show is WHO is involved. The woman shown has long dark hair, but her FACE is completely blurred The second video is more clearly Boebert, but vaping is all that's visible.

[Kingofalldems]

46. Nope. Not what I see.

[whathehell]

65. Um, I think you boys are "seeing" what you want..

''cause nothing beats a good ole 'slut shaming' session, right?

[LisaL]

73. You need to have your eyes checked.

[whathehell]

74. No, you do

If you think the woman in that first vid is recognizable.

[LisaL]

78. Here is the description for you.

"Security cameras caught Boebert’s male plus-one overtly fondling her breast, prompting her to dip her hand between his legs. The groping continued on for several minutes, with Boebert at one point grinning and squirming about in her seat before she placed another hand below her partner’s belt."

https://news.yahoo.com/lauren-boebert-caught-security-footage-180000531.html

[whathehell]

81. ..From the Daily News?

You.must be kidding!

[LisaL]

87. Are you for real?

"The video also appeared to show Boebert and a male companion fondling each other sexually as they sat next to each other in the theater."
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2023/09/16/lauren-boebert-apology-beetlejuice-vaping/70876251007/

[whathehell]

88. Are YOU?

The operative word there is "appears". See post #73.
..I'm not repeating myself. Bye.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

89. Here's an article from the Guardian,

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/sep/16/lauren-boebert-apology-beetlejuice-video

What's most convincing for me that this is true, Boebert hasn't denied the groping and neither has her date, but she has apologized for her behavior.
If this wasn't true and the video was a fake, she would be screaming it from the roof tops, Boebert being Boebert so, AFAIC, it's real.

[Cha]

37. I saw it.. Gag! It's a good thing, imo.. they

had cameras everywhere!

TY

[demmiblue]

41. It's really bizarre.

[Recycle_Guru]

50. you are all over this thread telling people it is a fake

[yardwork]

53. See post 28.

[vercetti2021]

33. Time and a place!

I thought the GOP were against public displays of ahem...sexual things? Oh...you mean ALL ACCUSATIONS ARE CONFESSIONS?! GASP!

[EndlessWire]

55. Foreplay...

She seemed drunk or high...Still dancing with her friend as she exits at the very end. Clearly vaping. But, she should have been tossed out for all the inappropriate groping. At least the woman behind her gave them the hook to get her gone.

I wonder how the play turned out. Any good? What are people supposed to think when they see her with her hands between his legs in public?

This is what she thinks of her constituents. And, that guy wasn't merely gripping her ta-ta, he was massaging it. That's what he thinks of her.

This is never going away.

[whathehell]

67. For you?

[SoFlaBro]

59. Boebert is a sloppy prostitute who loves to give a fucking sex show with children present.

Fucking degenerate.

[Emile]

75. The guy she is dating has a Denver bar that has Drag Queen shows

from time to time. I wonder if her evangelical base will ever know the truth about her.

[SoFlaBro]

80. Boebert will put anyone in her mouth for a $50 donation to her cumpaign.

shit
