Boebert Issues Apology After Vaping in Theater
Congresswoman Initially Denied the Incident
Republican Congresswoman Lauren Boebert of Colorado has issued an apology after video emerged of her vaping and taking photographs during a musical performance of Beetlejuice. Boebert was escorted out of the Buell Theater in Denver after security personnel witnessed her vaping during the performance.
Surveillance Footage Shows the Incident
Surveillance video from the theater shows Boebert vaping and taking photographs during the performance. The video was obtained by the liberal watchdog group American Oversight and released to the public.
In a statement, Boebert admitted to vaping during the performance and apologized for her actions. She said she was "embarrassed" by her behavior and that she "respects the theater and its performers."
Boebert's Apology
Boebert's apology comes after she initially denied vaping during the performance. In a tweet, she claimed that she had only been "discreetly sipping water" from a water bottle.
However, the surveillance video clearly shows Boebert vaping during the performance. The video has led to widespread criticism of Boebert, including from members of her own party.
Conclusion
Boebert's vaping incident is a reminder that even elected officials must abide by the rules and regulations of public spaces. Her apology is a step in the right direction, but it remains to be seen whether she will face any further consequences for her actions.
