Lauren Boebert Faces Backlash After Incident at Denver Theater

Following an immense amount of backlash for her behavior at a Denver theater, Representative Lauren Boebert continues to be the topic of discussion. Radio show host Howard Stern commented on Boebert’s actions that night, calling her “a disgrace to this country.” Let’s delve into the details of this incident and the subsequent criticisms faced by the congresswoman.

The Incident at Beetlejuice

On September 10, the Republican congresswoman from Colorado, Lauren Boebert, was escorted out of a production of Beetlejuice in Denver after causing a disturbance. Complaints of vaping, singing, and disruptive behavior led to her removal. Surveillance footage released later showed Boebert and a male companion, identified as Quinn Gallagher, engaging in intimate touching, further fueling the controversy.

Howard Stern’s Criticism

During a recent episode of SiriusXM’s The Howard Stern Show, a caller asked host Howard Stern to share his thoughts on the incident involving Lauren Boebert. As the audio clip verified by Newsweek reveals, Stern graphically described his disapproval of Boebert’s actions and appearance.

Stern criticized Boebert’s credibility, referring to her initial denial of the vaping allegation before the security footage came to light. He questioned the voters in Colorado, wondering how someone like Boebert was elected to Congress. Stern also questioned the lack of disciplinary actions taken against her despite the inappropriate behavior with Gallagher.

Backlash and Apology

Boebert has faced significant backlash from various groups, including political leaders, due to this incident. In an attempt to address the situation, she issued an apology. The congresswoman expressed regret for the unwanted attention brought to the community and acknowledged the unintended harm caused by her actions. However, criticism continues to mount as more information emerges about the incident and Gallagher’s involvement.

Stern’s Irony

While some individuals may agree with Stern’s assessment of Boebert’s actions, others find it ironic considering his own controversial past. In the mid-1990s, Stern made comments that many consider disgraceful, including remarks about police brutality, homosexuality, and women. Some social media users pointed out this irony, questioning Stern’s credibility to lecture others about decency.

Continued Discussion

The incident involving Lauren Boebert at the Denver theater has sparked ongoing discussions and debates. It raises questions about standards for elected officials and the consequences they face for their behavior. As the controversy persists, it remains to be seen whether any further actions will be taken or if Boebert’s apology will be sufficient.

Newsweek has reached out to the Howard Stern Show for additional comments regarding this incident.
