Was there ever any doubt that she was lying?

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 191 points 1 year ago

No, but it's fun to see the proof.

[-] nothingcorporate@lemmy.today 75 points 1 year ago

The video was more than I could have even hoped for: ignoring a pregnant woman who asked her to stop, taking flash photo selfies, getting felt up in a crowded theater, and flipping the bird to the poor people who work there chef's kiss

[-] TransplantedSconie@lemm.ee 21 points 1 year ago

The attack ads write themselves if the democrats are willing to use them, lol. It's crazy.

[-] gregorum@lemm.ee 16 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I thought simply airing clips of her speaking would be damaging enough, but this video of her without audio… Just wow

Every word uttered by a conservative is deception or manipulation. Every word. The proof that she was vaping was that she said she wasn't.

[-] Wermhatswormhat@lemmy.world 29 points 1 year ago

But yet somehow she rolled a nat 1 on this deception check. Hahaha.

Probably shouldn’t have put INT or WIS as a dump stat.

Boebert’s website:

As a mother of four children, I believe that life begins at conception, and I will always defend life

Boebert in reality:

Vapes indoor in front of a pregnant woman, then acts out when she’s told to be considerate.

[-] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 80 points 1 year ago

I’m so tired of this right wing “fuck my neighbors, / countrymen, I can do whatever I want” bullshit.

I have a piece of shit like this living behind me. Dude is always shooting guns and illegal fireworks over the house at 1am, and when you approach him, he gets on a “you hate freedom” tirade.

[-] Zombiepirate@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

Makes you wonder how much freedom he can take.

[-] CeeBee@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

Sounds like someone needs to fire off their own fireworks as soon as another someone goes to sleep

[-] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

I usually just call the cops on him, and then he has a Randy Marsh “I thought this wasa merrica” moment, pushes the officers, and goes to jail for the night, again.

[-] kibiz0r@midwest.social 12 points 1 year ago

They don’t understand that there is freedom to and there is freedom from.

I can have the freedom to fire a gun in the air.

I can have the freedom from falling bullets.

I can’t have both, unless these freedoms only apply to me.

[-] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 66 points 1 year ago

Look, I vape! -blows a giant cloud the size of someone’s head in a crowded theatre-

She knew exactly what was happening. I’ve been vaping near enough ten years and haven’t ever felt the need for that big or hot of a hit. I guess it would be viable to have a home build that you don’t use in public spaces, but personally I’ve always preferred small, low temp hits with significantly less exhaust. Though I suppose expecting her or those like her to be considerate of others is like expecting a capybara to have scales. Utter nonsense.

[-] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 35 points 1 year ago

for that big or hot of a hit.

She's a conservative so there is an innate need to prove they aren't weak or meek. She does this by picking on the weak and meek around her to prove she isn't "one of them".

Seriously what an idiot. If you need to hit your vape, at the very least go the restroom and small puff in the stall incognito style. Not trying to champion that and of course you should really go outside but good lord. Complete blatant dumbassery here.

[-] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

Bathroom or even the hall or the freakin back of the theater even. Literally any amount of consideration for others and she might lose her voters though.

When you elect someone to congress who emotionally peaked in high school.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 39 points 1 year ago

She dropped out of high school.

[-] Zweibel@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

High school is being very, very generous. Middle school is more likely the answer.

She is kind of similar to a fog machine in a lot of ways

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 49 points 1 year ago

How dare you insult fog machines like that!

[-] goferking0 21 points 1 year ago

Right! At least fog machines are useful

Not her first time her bullshit being called out because someone was recording it. She should start assuming that someone has recorded her before she opens her mouth to spew bullshit.

[-] echoplex21@lemmy.world 29 points 1 year ago
[-] RaincoatsGeorge@lemmy.zip 23 points 1 year ago

Gotta love how the theater tracking her like she was at the Jan 6th riot. Covering their ass for when she would inevitably try to lie her way out of it. Without the footage she would have just claimed she was kicked out for being a MAGA loser. No you were kicked out for being an entitled drunk ass, everyone can see it.

[-] thisisawayoflife@lemmy.world 27 points 1 year ago

Could we get a photo album of the cretins that voted for this smoothbrain?

[-] Sanctus@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago

Intellectualism is dead, this is your representative now. Fling the shit with the other apes. Consume.

So her earlier comments about it (where she adamantly denied vaping and claimed her only crime was laughing and singing) were a lie? Shocker.

[-] ViewSonik@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago

Lauren and all of her 900 voters are pieces of shit.

Anyone see the part where her boyfriend there was grabbing her boob for a solid 2 minutes? Classy.

She acts like she is drunk and/or high.

[-] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 25 points 1 year ago

My bet is alcohol or coke. People high on weed usually don’t like to make a scene.

Let's see some drug tests.

Look, we all know trashy ass people like Boebert

[-] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Nope, sorry, you're on your own there. I know a few ass-people but they aren't that trashy, not anywhere close.

Boebert is untrustworthy? Shocking!

Lauren "Fog Machine" Boebert

[-] schwim@reddthat.com 13 points 1 year ago

Although it makes the people who don't like her feel better, unfortunately, it does nothing but strengthen the resolve of the people that support her. They will view this as some sort of patriotic stand against the woke anti-vape libtards that are ruining theatergoing everywhere.

[-] HighElfMage@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

I would say she did this to fundraise off of being a victim, but that would require a degree of foresight that I don't think she possesses.
