I loathe that woman, but I watched the video when it came out. Nothing but some teenage tickling going on. Inappropriate? You fuckin' a it was for a Congresswoman. But it wasn't really a thing otherwise. And it was in the dark, only caught on infrared.
Did anyone expect upright, moral, Victorian behavior from this woman?!
Lemmy: She was jacking him off while he raw dogged her!
It's less about what was done than the hypocrisy. Especially the hypocrisy of doing it while kids were around. Hell, I expect the hypocrisy out of her but that doesn't mean I'm going to ignore it.
It's the same reason we talk shit about all the Republicans that get caught doing gay shit. I don't care if someone enjoys doing gay shit. Good for them. But if you've voted for laws that harm the LGBTQ+ community and get caught sucking dick in an airport bathroom then I'm going to make fun of you.
She was stroking that dude while he had his hand on her tit. In front of kids.
She was groping him over the clothes, not stroking him off. And there weren't any kids in that audience. Or at least, none that were caught on camera.
She embarrasses herself enough without having to completely make up details.
You can literally see a child taking a seat behind Bobo here: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/surveillance-video-appears-contradict-boeberts-denial-was-vaping-beetl-rcna105246
Does it really matter to you if the guy’s dick was out? Jesus.
I'm assuming you meant the young girl at about the 17 second mark.
Wherever she ended up, she did not sit behind Bobo:
And when you make an accusation that she was stroking him off when in reality she copped a quick feel over his pants, whether his dick was out absolutely does make a huge difference. Her behavior was wholly inappropriate, especially considering she's an adult and a Congresswoman, but she didn't do anything that thousands of teenagers don't do regularly when on a date in a dark theater. Let's not make it out to be worse than it really was just because the person involved is unpopular.
So then, were there kids in the theatre, or not?
You’re talking about the security tapes of Boebert getting her tits fondled and her had down a man’s pants at a kids show?
Not to mention the vaping, the dancing, the flash photography, and generally being a shit bag human (“don’t you know who I am”)
Nitpick: They groped each other over the clothes. She didn't have her hand down his pants. She makes herself out to be a shitbag of a person without people needing to make up details that didn't happen.
Irony is trying to hold Lemmy posters accountable for exaggeration while exaggerating yourself.
Nowhere do I see any accusation that Boebert was having any form of sex in the theatre. We call it as we see it -- she was groping her date while he groped her, in a theatre with kids in it, during a family presentation, after accusing gays of immoral behaviour. We're not calling her out for her inappropriate behaviour. We're calling her out for her hypocrisy of calling others out for their inappropriate behaviour.
What you're doing here is concern trolling. We hear your concerns. We are not doing what you're accusing us of doing. You're attempting to distract the conversation from the fact that Boebert got felt up during a family event while calling out LGBTQ+ folks for 'sexual deviancy'. We're not having it. Piss off with that nonsense.
