The GOP congresswoman has accused trans people and drag queens of “grooming” and “sexualiz[ing]” children

Rep. Lauren Boebert has been outspoken about her disapproval of drag queens, but that didn’t stop the Colorado congresswoman from spending hundreds of campaign dollars at a bar that hosts drag shows.

According to Politico, which cited her latest Federal Election Commission filings, Boebert’s campaign spent $317.48 in July for “event catering” at Hooch Craft Cocktail Bar in Aspen, Co., which is owned by Boebert’s former boyfriend, Quinn Gallagher. Boebert and Gallagher were booted from a performance of Beetlejuice last month for disruptive conduct, including vaping, loud singing and fondling each other at the family-friendly production. Boebert later said she and Gallagher, a Democrat, had broken up. “All future date nights have been canceled. I learned to check party affiliations before you go on a date,” Boebert told TMZ.

        From your own source.

        That statement is not case-closed evidence that Boebert was never on that site or some other such site. (The representative of the site, which connects “successful” men with “young and aspiring” women, would identify themselves only as “Alice” and would not respond to follow-up questions.) But the super PAC has so far released no evidence to contradict the statement.

        So Boebert claimed she never did and the site can’t concretely confirm she didn’t.

        My questions stands, do YOU believe she wasn’t a prostitute.

            I’m not asking you demonstrate or provide evidence one way or the other. I am asking if you believe she was never a prostitute.

            I just demonstrated how your source was pretty flawed and exists in that grey area where we can’t say for sure she was and need to give her the benefit of the doubt that she claims she wasn’t.

            Don’t worry though, your inability to answer a simple question actually answered it for me.
