Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert called a pregnant woman “a sad and miserable person” after she asked the Republican lawmaker to stop vaping during the “Beetlejuice” performance that she and her date were later kicked out of on Sunday, according to a report.
The firebrand’s foul remark came after she had told the mom-to-be “no” when the fellow Denver theatergoer asked her to put her vaping pen down, the Denver Post reported Thursday.
“These people in front of us were outrageous,” the woman, who requested anonymity, told the newspaper.
“I’ve never seen anyone act like that before.”
The behavior of Boebert, 36, and her date — Democratic Aspen bar owner Quinn Gallagher, 46 — eventually led to their ejection from the Buell Theatre after fellow audience members complained the two were being loud.
Staffers accused the pair of vaping, singing, and recording during the show, the Denver Post previously reported.
The pregnant woman, who is in her 30s, said she didn’t know the woman in front of her was Boebert.
The fed-up woman, who was sitting behind the couple, went to ask an usher if there were any seats available away from the troublemakers.
“The usher said, ‘You’re not the first complaint we had,’” she told the outlet.
When the patron got back to her seats with her husband, Boebert reportedly lashed out, calling the woman “a sad and miserable person,” she recalled.

As she and Gallagher were being booted, Boebert allegedly said, “‘Do you know who I am,’ ‘I am on the board’ (and) ‘I will be contacting the mayor,’” according to an incident report.

There is saying all the right things, and being effective.
Boebert is not effective, especially if she costs the Republicans that seat in the next election.
Vaping INSIDE a movie theater? Jeez, couldn’t she just have a little self control?
She’s making it too easy for them.
Old lady? It says “pregnant woman”. LOL
Ah, but that is the brand, Republicans typically hold a higher standard. Boebert is trashy, bad news for the party, and likely will cost them a seat in the house next year.
Yes, that should have been released but they all circled the wagons to protect each other at taxpayer and voter expense.
And if she were a Liberal Dem...it would be a non-story. We may never even heard about it. I call it the Nixon Syndrome.
That must be why she asked, “Do You Know Who I Am?”
Republicans for the most part have no higher standards then their pals the Democrats. They unite quite often.
Doing the wrong thing with a high and mighty air is still not
a higher standard. It is lipstick on a pig of deception.
Just because she's got an R behind her name and supported Trump does not and should not give her a pass on boorish behavior.
Yes, isn’t that some of those “higher standards” you were talking about in action?
For every Bobert there are a hundred Jackson-Lee's ...
I suppose they are call vaping pens and not vaping pencils because pencils contain lead, and that would be bad for the environment?
DATING A DEMOCRAT? UGH..YOU DID HAVE SOME PROMISE...BYE..
You are correct. If I complain about a Rep’s behavior, we are in trouble.
I think the game is essentially over. No decent person will ever run for office, minus an outlier or two.
Demographics is destiny.
We are on the path to becoming North Brazil.
Eek...she is low class.
My first thought was what an asshole. Seems she might’ve been hitting the bottle pretty hard before coming to the theater, and acting like she and her sugar daddy are the only ones in the house. Jerks.
I’m sure the pregnant chick went straight to the emergency room for treatment for the harm she believed the vapor had done to her and her child.
What exactly is the treatment for this type of exposure anyway?
Or was she just complaining because she didn’t like the idea of it?
See Mike Pence.
It’s annoying when the “little people” get uppity. I know Boebert switched parties but once a DemocRAT, always a DemocRAT.
