The Republican congresswoman said “while none of my actions or words as a private citizen that night were intended to be malicious or meant to cause harm, the reality is they did and I regret that”

              I mean, this but for real

              I got absolutely no problem with two people getting frisky in a theater.

              My problem is her private values not matching her public values.

                In some contexts yes… honestly for me I have a problem with two people getting frisky to that level in a packed theater while a play is going on that people came there to see. I don’t think they should go to jail or anything but I would definitely want them kicked out, and, it seems like they’d be happier in a hotel or something anyway, so win-win.

            I’ve seen a massive black man in a lovely dress and heels pick up a bachelorette, position her so she’s straddling him while he’s still standing, and vigorously dry-hump her in time with the music while continuing to sing the song at the top of his lungs, while her friends all cheered. I found that far less off-putting than this titty fondle.

            Look at the people sitting right next to them watching the show. This is legitimately one of the most uncouth things I’ve ever seen.

                Yep. The people at a show like that are 1) consenting adults, who 2) went to the show on purpose, and 3) didn’t bring their kids.

                No one in the audience at a kid-friendly Beetlejuice showing went there to watch Bobo get her tits fondled while she blows vape smoke in people’s faces.

                What a revolting idiot.

    What specifically is she apologizing for?

    Blowing a giant vape cloud in on someone’s head, smoking in front of a pregnant woman, jacking off a guy in public, dancing in a theater where everyone is sitting, flipping off the ushers, or lying about all of that stuff because she thought it wasn’t on camera?

    The past few days have been difficult and humbling, and I’m truly sorry for the unwanted attention my Sunday evening in Denver has brought to the community

    “I’m sorry I got caught”

      Absolutely. Before the video, she lied about it and downplayed it and accused others about falsifying the accusations. Suddenly there’s video and now she “apologizes” (she didn’t really, it was a fake apology, she didn’t say she’s sorry for what she did, she basic said she’s sorry others found it offensive, that’s not an apology) and she’s entirely quiet on all the lying she did beforehand about saying it was overblown.

        She didn’t even really say she was sorry others found it offensive, it came off as saying she was sorry she got caught. I suppose that shouldn’t be surprising given the GQP. None of them have any shame and are only “sorry” when they get caught.

    How to describe the Boebert video. A sampling

    NYT: " touching and carrying on with her date"

    POLITICO: “appears to show Boebert and her male companion fondling each other sexually”

    NYP: “groped ‘Beetlejuice’ date in heavy-petting session”

    GUARDIAN: “eagerly groping each other”

    SALON: “fiddling with each other’s privates”

    Translation:

    The optics of my public sexual act is super bad for my campgain strategy of yelling about the existence of trans people as inherently a public sexual act.

    Honestly tho, how can you forget that you were vaping and a pregnant lady behind you was directly complaining to you about it? Didn’t remember, my ass. (edit: and your date offers this pregnant lady an alcoholic drink. Can see why he’s into her, they are both really dumb.)

      Seriously! She exposed herself and performed a sex act in front of children. She is an actual sexual predator and needs to be behind bars, full stop.

    I’m just saying, this lady could have gone into porn, made a killing, kept her mouth shut, and been perfectly fine.

    But she wanted power without understanding what that entails.
