ONLINE TROLL – Disgraced congressman Lauren Boebert may face humiliating defeat even before the election after awful behavior got her kicked out of a theater.
What Led to the Mockery
Boebert placed fifth out of nine hopefuls in a straw poll after a debate for Colorado’s Fourth District, prompting widespread mockery even from Republicans.
Logan County Commissioner Jerry Sonnenberg led the poll of 100 voters and is considered a serious challenge to Boebert despite her name recognition.
How Boebert Became Donald Trump’s Supporter
Boebert was elected to the Third District in 2020 and became one of Donald Trump‘s loudest supporters, but in December announced she was shifting to the Fourth.
Plagued by scandal since her debauchery and obnoxiousness at performance of the musical Beetlejuice in September, she faced a tough contest from Democrats and will contest the solid Republican seat instead.
Her Disgraced Actions
She was caught heavy-petting with boyfriend Quinn Gallagher, waving her hands, singing loudly, photographing the show, taking selfies with the flash on, and vaping.
When staff asked the couple to leave, she refused, saying ‘don’t you know who I am?’ bared her teeth, and gave them the finger – all caught on camera.
She was Forced to Apologize
A tidal wave of criticism followed and Boebert initially lied about her actions and dismissed the scandal, before being forced into an embarrassing apology.
Claiming switching districts was to get ‘a fresh start for me and my boy’ after her very public divorce and not due to a likely defeat, her backup plan hasn’t started well.

Boebert got just 12 votes from the debate viewers, behind Sonnenberg by 22 votes, and former Colorado House Minority Leader Mike Lynch by 20.
Others getting more votes than her were filmmaker and radio host Deborah Flora with 18 and state House Minority Whip Richard Holtorf with 17.
Boebert attended the debate with her grandson Josiah, after becoming a grandmother at age 36 last year.
Her dismal results prompted even her Republican colleagues to mock her for the scandal, and question whether she would even be able to win the primary.
