Seems Lauren Boebert (aka: The Bettlejuice Groper) spent campaign cash at her Bettlejuice dates bar. A bar which held drag shows and was LGBT friendly.
You just can't make this stuff up.

(197,183 posts)Her campaign could have spent money there on an actual event. Nothing wrong with that. But apparently not.
So shes dating the owner and shes was paying? And with, guessing here, a campaign credit card??

It saved her a trip.
Win win.
And hey, she left a nice tip!

(8,180 posts)Today that is, when Boebert was called the 'Beetlejuice groper"!
Enquiring minds want to know: What was she vaping? Wacky tabacky?

(9,709 posts)I wonder what else she's blown off donors' money on that wasn't campaign related?
Let's hope there an investigation of this.
Hunter was sentenced to prison,but pardoned by Trump after he resigned from Congress.

(51,554 posts)that was her excuse for the Beetlejuice groping and vaping and being trashy. She claims she's going to check party affiliation to make sure she doesn't date another Dem.

(36,631 posts)The stupid, hate-filled laws passed by Republican legislatures in multiple states discriminate against (and even demonize) LGBTQ and transgender people. Gropebert has added her voice in sanctimonious, hypocritical sync with the lies behind such laws.
A bar that was exclusively "straight" would not be funny in this situation because it would not illuminate the hypocrisy. We need to shine light on this evil at every opportunity.
Insert something about hoisting and a petard, here.

(25,126 posts)Republican attacks on minorities, including LGBTQ+ people, are reprehensible. Their hypocrisy is staggering and Boeberts behavior fits right into this disgusting pile.
It isnt funny is a comedic sense. No one is laughing. But it does make one shake their head in amazement that they say one thing then do another and get away with it!
Lets face it: Boebert is a hot mess of stupidity and hypocrisy. Theres a certain pleasure in seeing such an offensive person- a member of Congress!- being exposed for their horrible and hateful behavior. I believe its called Schadenfreude.
