Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert called a pregnant woman “a sad, miserable person” after she asked a Republican lawmaker to stop vaping during a “Beetlejuice” performance that she and her boyfriend were later kicked out of Sunday, according to reports.
The rant came after he told the expectant mother “no” when a fellow Denver theatergoer asked him to put down his vaping pen, the Denver Post reported Thursday.
“These people in front of us are outrageous,” the woman, who did not want to be named, told the paper.
“I’ve never seen anyone act like that before.”
The behavior of Boebert, 36, and her boyfriend — Democratic Aspen bar owner Quinn Gallagher, 46 — eventually got them kicked out of the Buell Theater after fellow audience members complained that the two were being loud.

Boebert’s office denied he was vaping to The Post Wednesday, saying there was “a misunderstanding from someone sitting near him” who was unaware of the “thick fog machine and electronic cigarette used during the game.”
The congressman admitted, however, that he had a raucous time at the show.
“It’s true, I really enjoyed Beetlejuice AMAZING at the Buell Theater and I confess to laughing and singing too loud!” he tweeted this week.
“Everyone should go see it if you get the chance this week and please let me know how it ends!”
