U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert will probably try to spin her latest embarrassing incident as a cultural war victory against the “elitist” liberals.
A report from the staff of Denver Arts & Venues says three people complained at intermission and included this tidbit about what Boebert said as she left the building: “stuff like ‘do you know who I am,’ ‘I am on the board’ (and) ‘I will be contacting the mayor.’ ”
Boebert is not on the board of Denver’s Center for the Performing Arts.
Boebert is the queen of the Karens.
It's too bad another, less common label didn't come into common usage. I've known a number of Karens (and a couple of Chads) that were just people.
"Chad" is an old English name. In WWII, it was used by British soldiers in a form of the "Kilroy was here" meme. It was not common in the US prior to the 1940s, so we can hazard a guess that Americans picked it up from Brits during WWII.
It peaked in popularity for baby boys in the early 1970s. Around 20 years later, it became identified as a stereotypical name for an upper-class "frat boy" in Chicago. The more recent slang usage is a distant descendant of that usage.

The fact it was old English kinda blows my mind. I'm from Scotland and never once heard it. Interesting read thank you
The majority of all names are good people, but if there is one name that has a higher percentage of assholes than others it is probably Karen
Totally unscientific, but I work in 911 dispatch and I'd say that off the top of my head probably the most common name I get for Karen-type calls is probably Carol, the male equivalent in probably Alan
Solid boomer names. I’d say Karen’s are more gen-x names. Like I’d think it was a popular baby name in the 60s through 80s.
Given how naming entitled women Karen is an insult to women actually named Karen, I propose we replace "Karen" with Boebert.
For example: "She asked to see the manager because I wouldn't honor this expired $1 off coupon for our competitor. Then she said 'do you know who I am?!!!' She's such a Boebert."
She won her last election by like 505 votes...
Which is really close considering her district
Her election came so close that the person running the NSFW bobo subreddit shut it down before she was announced the winner
If she loses her election and starts an OF I would immediately subscribe.
Dunno why but she is hot as fuck and the more she shows me what a trashbag she is the more turned on I get.

I think she’ll fit right in.
It is just a case study, as plain as plain can be, that all you need to have is confidence, to dupe a significant portion of the population into making you their leader.
She's very pro-life.
Boebert didn’t care if she ruined the musical “Beetlejuice” playing at the Buell Theatre for anyone else, and she certainly didn’t care if the pregnant woman sitting behind her had to breathe her second-hand smoke from a vape pen.
...
“These people in front of us were outrageous. I’ve never seen anyone act like that before,” the woman, who lives in Denver and is in her 30s, said. It wasn’t until later during the play that someone informed her that the misbehaving theatergoer was, in fact, Boebert, a member of Congress.
The woman says Boebert took multiple long videos during the first half of the performance. When she asked Boebert to stop vaping, the congresswoman simply said “no,” the woman said. Boebert was also kissing the man she was with, and singing along loudly with her hands in the air, the woman said.
“At intermission, I asked, ‘Are there any other seats available? Can we sit somewhere else?’” the woman said. “The usher said, ‘You’re not the first complaint we had.’ ”
When the woman returned with her husband to their seats, she said Boebert called her a “sad and miserable person.”
“The guy she was with offered to buy me and my husband cocktails. I’m pregnant!” she said.
But the behavior continued, with Boebert using her phone to record several segments of the second half of the show.

Boebert has also vehemently denied she was vaping since she was thrown out. Turns out there's a video and it's another example of what a vile human being she is.

No, it really isn't. There's a ton of other shit in it. Like nicotine. It's still terrible for you.
You've already gotten a few corrections from other folks, I'll just add that in the 70s there was no secondhand smoke from smoking either.
How many times does she get off scott-free after these incidents before it stops being entitlement and becomes reality?
There is a very good chance she will lose next year. This kind of thing just increases those odds so hopefully more of it will be caught on camera.
