U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert was accused of vaping, recording, and audibly singing along during a live performance of the musical Beetlejuice in Denver on Sunday—a “disturbance” that ultimately forced venue staff to escort her off the premises, according to The Denver Post. The newspaper obtained an incident report which detailed the embarrassing incident at Buell Theatre, which is owned by the city of Denver. Theatergoers were first issued a warning during the show’s intermission warning them against engaging in distracting behavior, according to the Post, but Boebert and another patron allegedly did not abide by the public service announcement. A spokesperson for the congresswoman denied many of the allegations outlined in the incident report, but did confirm that Boebert took a photo of the performance, seemingly unaware that it was against the venue’s rules. “I can confirm the stunning and salacious rumors: in her personal time, Congresswoman Lauren Boebert is indeed a supporter of the performing arts (gasp!) and, to the dismay of a select few, enthusiastically enjoyed a weekend performance of ‘Beetlejuice,’” Drew Sexton, Boebert’s campaign manager, wrote in a statement to the Post.
