Wild woman Rep. Lauren Boebert squeezed in a quick groping session between vaping and loudly singing during her already-infamous “Beetlejuice” viewing — later blaming her inappropriate behavior on her ongoing divorce.
Security footage from Denver’s Buell Theatre Sunday shows the 36-year-old Colorado Republican reaching down for her date’s crotch shortly after blowing a plume of vaporized smoke into the air, which she initially denied doing.
When her date — Democratic Aspen bar owner Quinn Gallagher, 46 — in turn appeared to fondle her breast, the congresswoman aggressively grabbed his hand to keep it there.
The heavy petting was just one immature action in a series by Boebert, which led theater staff to boot the pair out before the end of the show.
Multiple audience members complained that the firebrand was smoking, obstructing their view by raising her hands, taking pictures with the flash on and loudly singing.
The lawmaker flipped the ushers off before finally leaving the venue — but not before warning them she would report them over the incident.
“Do you know who I am?” she was quoted as saying.
In a statement Friday, Boebert apologized for her uncouth behavior, chalking it up to her recent split from Jayson, her husband of 18 years.
The mother of four and grandmother of one filed for divorce in May, citing “irreconcilable differences.”
“There’s no perfect blueprint for going through a public and difficult divorce, which over the past few months has made for a challenging personal time for me and my entire family. I’ve tried to handle it with strength and grace as best I can, but I simply fell short of my values on Sunday,” she said.
Boebert also admitted to smoking from an electronic device inside the theater, walking back on initial claims by her campaign team that other audience members mistook “heavy fog machines” for vape pen smoke.
A pregnant woman sitting behind the rowdy duo said that she asked Boebert to stop smoking, prompting the pol to call her “a sad and miserable person.”
“Whether it was the excitement of seeing a much-anticipated production or the natural anxiety of being in a new environment, I genuinely did not recall vaping that evening when I discussed the night’s events with my campaign team while confirming my enthusiasm for the musical,” Boebert said.
She is seeking a third term in Congress and is expected to face Democratic challenger Adam Frisch in the general election.
It would be a rematch of the 2022 election in which she narrowly defeated the Colorado businessman by 546 votes, or 0.16% of the 327,000 total ballots cast.
