U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colorado, was seen being carried out of a Denver theater during a concert Sunday night.
According to a report taken by the City of Denver, two patrons were ejected for “vaping, singing, (and) causing a disturbance” during a performance of “Beetlejuice” at the Buell Theatre. Boebert’s name was not mentioned in the report. But in the video he can be seen leaving the theatre.
Video of the incident shared with Scripps News by the city of Denver shows Boebert approaching Boebert and a male attendee during the demonstration.
The video shows an usher talking briefly with Boebert before she and a male companion are escorted out of the theater. An usher reported that theater staff received several complaints from attendees.
“They told me they would not leave. I told them they needed to leave the theater and if they did not do so, they would trespass,” one usher wrote in an incident report shared with Scripps News. “The patrons said they wouldn’t go. I told them I was going to call the Denver police. They said go and get them.”
Usher continued, “I talk to the patrons in the vestibule, tell them again they have to leave the property and they argue. They say things like ‘Do you know who I am’ ‘I’m on board. “‘I’ll be’ contacting the mayor.”
Boebert gained notoriety during her first term in the US House. She was among the few Republicans who rejected the results of the 2020 presidential election. He also spread numerous lies about the presidential election, including claims that ballots were illegally mailed to voters.
No evidence has been presented in court to support his claims.
She has become one of the top fund raisers in Congress. According to Open Secrets, he raised more than $7.7 million in campaign contributions during his 2022 re-election bid.
She won her conservative Colorado district by less than 1 percentage point last November.
