U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert faces voters in Colorado’s GOP primary election Tuesday after she fled a tough reelection race to run in a more Republican-leaning district, harried along the way by accusations of carpetbagging and still bruised by an embarrassing video.
Boebert, who planted her MAGA flag in the U.S. House of Representatives in 2020, has amassed conservative clout across the country. But that limelight has also meant public scandals. Her decision to switch districts came after video surfaced of her vaping and causing a disturbance with a date at a musical production of Beetlejuice.
Boebert said she made the switch to ensure another Republican could win her old district, which she nearly lost in 2022, and she blamed outside groups for targeting her. But Boebert left the district having already become a fundraising magnet for the likely Democratic candidate, who has pulled in millions that may help him flip a district that has leaned Republican in recent years.
On Tuesday, for the first time since all of that happened, Colorado voters will get their say. The ones in her new district will weigh her candidacy against more traditional GOP rivals. Those include former state Sen. Jerry Sonnenberg, current state Reps. Mike Lynch and Richard Holtorf and parental rights advocate Deborah Flora.
Vaping scandal. Lol. I fucking forgot she was smoking weed while cranking that dude’s hog in a theatre full of children.
AP, man. wtf.
Wait. Was it really weed that she was vaping? I assumed it was a tobacco product.
I don’t really expect smart decisions from Republican voters, so it remains to be seen if they are at least smart enough to vote her out.
Boebert faces first election Tuesday since switching districts and the

FTFY, but you might need a smaller font size to fit it in.Wasn’t her husband though. “Boebert, 36, noted that she and her date, Quinn Gallagher, a 46-year-old reported Democrat and bar owner whose establishment has hosted drag shows, have decided not to see each other again.”

Vaping = Grabbing the Hog!
I was going to say… the vaping was not the biggest issue.
Vaping, handjob - tomato, tomahto.
Man, this headline reminds me of those articles that used to scare parents who didn’t know current slang.
Is your child talking about ‘vaping’? They could mean ‘giving hand jobs in a public theater’! More at 7.
