Scarborough rips 'Christian nationalist' Boebert for disruptive spectacle during Beetlejuice
During a Sunday, September 10 presentation of "Beetlejuice" at Denver's Buell Theater, far-right Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colorado) was, the Denver Post reported, thrown out for disruptive behavior.
A pregnant woman sitting behind Boebert, according to the Post, asked her to quit vaping. But she refused.
MSNBC's Joe Scarborough slammed Boebert as a hypocrite during a September 18 broadcast of "Morning Joe." Scarborough stressed that Boebert's behavior was hardly consistent with the "Christian nationalist" views that Boebert preaches. And Scarborough noted that Boebert reportedly gave Buell Theater the middle finger as she was being thrown out.

Scarborough, a Never Trump conservative and former GOP congressman, argued that Boebert is vulnerable in her district in the 2024 election. And her behavior in Denver, the host said, doesn't help her reelection prospects.
" Her seat is not safe," Scarborough told his colleagues, "and this comes at a moment where she's one of the rabble-rousers in the House with (Reps.) Marjorie Taylor Greene and Matt Gaetz and others trying to push to impeach President Biden and shut down the government,” added Joe Scarborough. “So she has more time perhaps to attend family-friendly shows in Denver with a male companion which she’s overly friendly with.”
Scarborough and his MSNBC colleague Jonathan Lemire noted that Boebert and her companion at the Buell were reportedly groping one another.
Scarborough remarked, "I think Lauren Boebert is not one known for reaching across the aisle in Congress, but there was some of that here with her male companion — a lot of, let's say, they were handsy in their behavior.”
