U.S. Representative Lauren Boebert was removed from a performance of the musical “Beetlejuice” in Denver this past Sunday, as indicated by surveillance footage. While the theater did not specifically identify Boebert, a spokesperson confirmed on Wednesday that the released video depicts Boebert and a companion being escorted out. The ejection occurred following complaints from fellow attendees that they were vaping, utilizing mobile phones, singing, and causing disturbances.

Boebert’s campaign manager acknowledged that the congresswoman was indeed removed from the premises, but contested the claim that she had been vaping. Drew Sexton, serving as Boebert’s campaign manager, stated via text message, “I can affirm the startling yet captivating rumors: Congresswoman Lauren Boebert does genuinely appreciate the performing arts. She admits to actively participating in the performance by singing along and thoroughly enjoying herself.”

Representative Boebert, who is currently serving her second term and campaigning for reelection in Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District, has gained significant media attention for her confrontational approach, most notably for heckling President Joe Biden during his 2022 State of the Union address.

According to the theater’s official statement, remarks were made during the altercation such as, “Do you know who I am?” and “I will be contacting the mayor.” On the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, Boebert encouraged others to attend the show, stating, “Everyone should go see it if you get a chance this week and please let me know how it ends!”

Initially, both Boebert and her guest were unwilling to exit the venue and only did so when the arrival of law enforcement was imminent, as per the theater’s statement. The surveillance footage disseminated to The Big Big News does not substantiate the accusation of vaping against Boebert.
