Lauren Boebert kicked out of “Beetlejuice” musical for “being a tool”

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) was escorted out of a performance of the musical Beetlejuice in Denver over the weekend after multiple complaints from other members of the audience.

As the Denver Post reports, the far-right Congresswoman and her companion were accused of vaping, singing, recording the show, and “causing a disturbance.”

One campaign email acknowledged Boebert is being “pummeled” by her Democratic challenger.

According to an incident report, officials with Denver Arts & Venues said that two people were asked to leave a Sunday night performance of the touring production of the Broadway musical at the city-owned Buell Theatre. Prior to being asked to leave, they had been warned during intermission about their behavior, which had already lead to three complaints from other audience members.

Five minutes into the show’s second act, security officials received yet another complaint about the two individuals, claiming that they were being loud and that they were recording parts of the show, which is not permitted.

When they were asked to leave by a venue employee, they initially refused. “They told me they would not leave,” an usher is quoted as saying in the incident report. “I told them that they need to leave the theater and if they do not, they will be trespassing. The patrons said they would not leave. I told them I would [be] going to get Denver Police. They said go get them.”

Surveillance video from the performance appears to show two security guards approach Boebert and her male companion, who are sitting next to the aisle, inside the theater. After a brief exchange, they are escorted out of the theater.

At several points in the footage, Boebert appears to raise her finger at security as she is escorted out of the venue. According to the incident report, the two patrons resisted leaving the venue’s vestibule, saying “stuff like ‘do you know who I am,’ ‘I am on the board’ [and] ‘I will be contacting the mayor.’”

Police reportedly arrived on the scene and waited until Boebert and her companion left.
