Saw a post Boebert made saying that she was down on her knees but since she’s a Christian that’s where she is the strongest. So sick of these mean girl types and the Christian national terrorists who cloak themselves in Christianity to try to garner sympathy from people trying to be Christians. I'm sure she is very good on her knees. <<snicker>> that was my first thought too.

her mom was a teen when she was born. i would not be so sure she feels any shame.I was a teen (19yo) when my daughter was born, I would be embarrassed and upset if this was my daughter. It was announced several months back her seventeen-year-old son was soon to be a dad and boebert was to be a grandmother at age thirty-six.I was 40yo when I became a grandmother, so older than 36, but not by much. Having children young and being a young grandmother does not automatically make a person a trashy, immoral adult. Or any of the other terrible things she is. It does not mean you can’t mature and be a, responsible person of good character by the time you are 36yo. SHE just didn’t do that. I’m not saying teen pregnancy is ideal, or even okay, I am just saying that by 36yo, she is who she is because that’s who she chooses to be as an adult. You grew up. Boebert did not. And boebert's hypocrisy is over the top. She who talks about adults grooming young people (in Congress no less) allows herself to be felt up by a guy in a public theater with children present and returns the favor (in public) by giving him a groin hand. All caught on video.

She was either an exotic dancer or a paid escort (can’t remember which) and her DH got in legal trouble by exposing himself to some woman at a bowling alley. (While he was dating Boebert).
Same husband shot at the guy trying to serve him divorce papers.
Not saying any one of her actions (or hubbys actions) is necessarily bad, for regular people, but for a congressman who wants people to think she’s and upstanding Christian, that’s a lot of baggage.

From your linked article: "In mid-September, she was kicked out of a musical after she vaped and took photos on her phone." Why are some of these articles not mentioning her trashy sexual behavior in the theater? Far worse behavior than just vaping and picture taking. Video exists.

My guess to the answer to your question is this. At the time of the insident, the vaping and taking photos with visibly noticable. The sexual groping only came to "light" via the very good low light cameras of the theater. None the less, all the behaviors is either inappropriate or just gross.

the odds were very high that the GOP would lose the house WITHOUT the help of Boebert. but sure. it increases the odds. i felt she would lose without this incident.

Another hidden sin from this incident- the guy she was fondling is a Democrat.
😀
Not to worry though, she broke up with him.
Yeah, he’s the cause of all the trouble. 😏

I know he was trying to set an example and pull up the ethics of the nation. But, it did nothing but lose a good Senator. He was smart and reasonable and was an asset to the party. If we could kick out everyone accused of this crap, it would be different. But it seems only the Dems are trying to make amends.

If boebert had an ouce of integrity should would resign from congress. Reminds me of Al Frankin resigning from the senate in 2018 after sexual misconduct allegations surfaced. But clearly, she doesn't. And she isn't the only one on the conservative side. I found this video from a Fox talking head and apparently a guy who does a regular bit on the show. It was funny/sad that they both went on about decorum in the Senate but acted like it was no big deal that Boebert was groping her date in public. I found the party of Clinton comment funny as he and Monica did not do Boebert behaviors in public. Its proof the only lane they have is us vs. them. And I found it telling that the video clip of Boebert was one I had never seen, just showing her pumping her fists versus fondling her date's nether region. www.msn.com/en-us/movies/news/jimmy-gives-his-take-on-the-boebert-controversy-on-the-ingraham-angle/vi-AA1gY5OH?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=19073de6ad544e78be0ee1c5772ad296&ei=37

The Beetlejuice groper is changing districts. Boebert switches congressional districts to one more favorable to Republicans Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) announced Wednesday that she would run to represent her state’s 4th Congressional District, opting to avoid a rematch with Democratic opponent Adam Frisch, whom she narrowly defeated in the 2022 midterms. In switching districts, Boebert has a better chance at remaining in Congress, and Republicans a better shot at keeping both districts. Boebert, a fiercely conservative lawmaker, currently represents the state’s 3rd Congressional District, which has a Cook Partisan Voting Index of R+7. In the 4th Congressional District, Boebert is running for the most conservative seat in the state, with a Cook Partisan Voting Index of R+13. Rep. Ken Buck (R-Colo.), who has said he will not run for reelection, currently holds the seat. In response to Boebert’s announcement, the Cook Political Report shifted her district from a “toss up” to a “lean Republican.” Rest of article here: Boebert switches congressional districts to one more favorable to Republicans

Her hand sure wasn't forced for all to see during the Beetlejuice musical. Lauren Boebert made a mess in her congressional district. She’s fleeing to a new one.
It's a clear sign her reckless MAGA activism — and a personal scandal — have taken their toll. Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., is hopping over to a neighboring congressional district next year to run for re-election to the House. Boebert announced Wednesday that she won’t be running in her native 3rd Congressional District, which she’s represented for two terms, and is instead leaping over to the 4th, where Rep. Ken Buck, R-Colo., is retiring. It’s a sign of how much she’s made a mess of things in her current district, and it underscores how serving as a MAGA firebrand has limited her versatility as a politician even in what should be friendly territory. Of course, that wasn’t how Boebert explained her decision. “It’s the right move for me personally, and it’s the right decision for those who support our conservative movement,” she said in a video announcement Wednesday. She didn’t get into how exactly it’s the right thing for the 4th District, where she won’t be moving until next year. But her calculation is straightforward: The 4th District is considerably more conservative than the 3rd, giving her higher chances of winning a race, assuming she prevails in the primary. In her announcement, Boebert argued that her hand had been forced. She claimed that “Hollywood elites and progressive money groups” were conspiring against her to “buy” the 3rd District. It’s true that Democratic rival Adam Frisch has been pulling in record-breaking amounts of cash for an expected rematch against Boebert (although it’s worth noting that he was also dwarfing her small-dollar donors). Frisch’s strong performance against her last year was a surprise — it was a district that Donald Trump won by 6 points in 2020, and Trump had endorsed her. Boebert has chosen to duck out to avoid what might’ve been shaping up to be a fatal blow. Rest of article here: Lauren Boebert made a mess in her congressional district. She’s fleeing to a new one

Her current district re-elected her after she proved how unfit she was for Congress. She can't be sure that a new district will be equally forgiving.

Something she likely used in her decision: Boebert won her 2022 race by just 546 votes. Trump won the same district by about 8 percentage points in 2020, while he won the 4th District by about 19 percentage points. link

I am happy that reasonable Republicans have left Congress and expressed their concerns with the party. Unfortunately, that leaves a conservative shaped hole in some places. And those holes can be filled with the kind of whackos the exiting Republican had issues with.
If Kari Lake ends up with a Senate seat, Jeff Flake’s resignation makes the country worse. (I know technically that was McCain’s seat - but the whole situation would be different if Flake was still running.)
Ken Buck being replaced by Bobert won’t make the Republican Party better.

Why not just tell her that her poll numbers are really low and it might be best for the GOP party if she just sits this one out? I’m thinking there have to be other GOP candidates who were interested in running for the 4th district, before Boebert just jumped in there.

i think it is a good question, but i don't think Boebert made the decision on her own. reflecting on that thought, i am not sure WHY i think that.

My recollection is that there were already seven declared candidates in the Republican primary. And I would bet she decided at least mostly on her own. Knew she wasn't going to win in the 3rd, so is trying to hang on to a spot somewhere. A more conservative district gives her a shot.
