Lauren Boebert Called Out as ‘Hypocrite’ After Moral Swipe Triggers Beetlejuice Flashback

Colorado Republican Lauren Boebert landed in hot water after she recently reacted to the arrest of two members of the House of Representatives. California Democrat Eric Swalwell, and Texas Republican Tony Gonzales, were reportedly arrested amid serious allegations of misconduct.

While the controversy was already generating significant attention, Boebert’s remarks made it even messier as internet users brought back her Beetlejuice scandal in the conversation.

While speaking with reporters outside the Capitol on April 16, Lauren Boebert was asked about the disturbing allegations leveled against the two men. In response to this, Boebert didn’t mince her words as she said, “Go to church, find Jesus. Like, why is everybody so h---- here?”

She was referring to the surprise resignations of California Democrat Swalwell and Gonzales, the Republican representative from southwest Texas, after both men were accused of inappropriate sexual behavior.

Meanwhile, as soon as the clip of Boebert’s fiery response went viral online, netizens were quick to revive her most infamous scandal. Social media users flooded the comments with references to her Beetlejuice controversy, while many even posted the viral pictures and videos of the scandal.

A user wrote, “You can even find Jesus in a dark theater as you’re attempting a happy ending with your "date". #JesusIsWatching” Another user commented, “Wasn’t she on camera being a perv in a movie theater where families were watching a movie? Glass houses, lady.” While a third user said, “She found Jesus in the 6:00 showing of Beetlejuice.”

In addition, another joked, “Just an incredible thing to hear from a congresswoman who was kicked out of a musical for groping her date in the auditorium.”

Boebert’s Beetlejuice controversy dates back to 2023 after her divorce from Jayson Boebert. According to The Guardian, the congresswoman, accompanied by her date, was escorted out of a performance of Beetlejuice for disruptive behavior.

The CCTV footage from the event showed her vaping, taking flash photographs, and singing loudly, which disturbed other patrons as well. In addition, the videos from the event also showed them engaging in inappropriate behavior while in their seats.

Boebert and her campaign manager initially denied the accusations of being removed from the show and vaping. However, after multiple sources and videos from the event confirmed that she had hit the vape and revealed her other apparent activities with her date.

According to The Colorado Sun, Boebert later acknowledged that the past few days had been “humbling” and “difficult” for her, and apologized for the unwanted attention her presence in Denver brought. The GOP firebrand mentioned that as a private citizen, she regretted being involved in malicious activities that caused harm, but she didn’t intend to do so.

She said, “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. That’s unacceptable, and I’m sorry.”
