Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert has found herself at the center of controversy... over her alleged actions at a Beetlejuice performance. As reported by the <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/09/15/new-video-appears-to-show-lauren-boebert-vaping-at-show/">New York Post</a>, new footage appears to refute Boebert's claim that "heavy fog machines" were responsible for the smoke that led to her expulsion from a performance of Beetlejuice at Denver's Buell Theater last weekend. Instead, a newly released video appears to show her puffing away on an electronic cigarette - a stark contrast to her vehement denials about vaping during the performance. Captured on Sunday night, the video reveals Boebert attending the show with her Democratic date, Aspen bar owner Quinn Gallagher, 46. According to <a href="https://www.9news.com/video/news/local/next/next-with-kyle-clark/lauren-boebert-wasnt-telling-the-truth-about-beetlejuice-ejection/73-bc109d37-e9af-415b-aaad-80ca1e8cc5e6">9News</a>, which obtained the footage, the congresswoman was also spotted snapping flash photos, dancing solo, and being confronted by a pregnant audience member who was sitting behind her. Check out the footage below: [[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/joncoopertweets/status/1702527743408419108] During the confrontation, the pregnant woman reportedly urged Boebert to cease her vaping activities, only to be described by the congresswoman as a "sad and miserable person." This incident adds fuel to the fire as the Colorado GOP representative was already drawing multiple complaints for her disruptive antics. She was eventually escorted out of the theater, with another security video showing her <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/footage-shows-lauren-boebert-giving-middle-finger-beetlejuice-usher-2023-9?IR=T&inline-endstory-related-recommendations=&r=US&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=yahoo.com">flipping off the usher</a> as she left. During her ejection, Boebert was quoted as challenging ushers by allegedly stating phrases such as "Do you know who I am," "I am on the board," and "I will be contacting the mayor," according to an incident report. Boebert's office insisted there had been "a misunderstanding" and attributed the smoking to "heavy fog machines and electronic cigarettes used during the play." <img class="size-full wp-image-1263228595" src="https://img.vt.co/2023/09/GettyImages-1258717613.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="683" />[[imagecaption|| The footage appears to contradict the politician's original claims.

"I've never seen anyone act like that before," said the unidentified Denver local. She also revealed that she was unaware Boebert was a member of Congress when initially lodging her complaint. Drew Sexton, Boebert's campaign manager, confirmed her ejection but continued to deny the vaping allegations. “I can confirm the stunning and salacious rumors: in her personal time, congresswoman Lauren Boebert is indeed a supporter of the performing arts (gasp!),” said Sexton. Boebert herself later tweeted, "It’s true, I did thoroughly enjoy the AMAZING Beetlejuice at the Buell Theatre and I plead guilty to laughing and singing too loud!" <img class="size-large wp-image-1263228591" src="https://img.vt.co/2023/09/Screenshot-2023-09-15-at-16.20.35-972x1024.jpg" alt="" width="972" height="1024" />[[imagecaption|| Boebert says she was "guilty of laughing and singing too loud".
