Rep. Lauren Boebert has been removed from the bill of a conservative Christian youth summit following an incident in which she was kicked out of a Denver theater for being busy with her date and vaping, according to video from the event.
The Colorado Republican congressman, 36, has been removed from advertising for the Texas Youth Summit, scheduled for later this month, according to his online branding.
The canceled speaking spot is the latest fallout for Boebert — who is divorcing her husband, Jayson — after video surfaced of the official being escorted out of a Denver performance of “Beetlejuice” earlier this month.
Footage of the incident showed Boebert, a hard-right conservative, rubbing the crotch of his date, bar co-owner Quinn Gallagher, while he fondled her breasts.
Additionally, he was seen vaping and taking selfies before the pair were asked to leave the theater.
On the way out, Boebert apparently asked the staff, “Do you know who I am?” before turning it over.

Before his lewd behavior was caught on camera, Boebert was prominently featured as a keynote speaker at the Texas summit and as part of a VIP reception.
Last year, Boebert took the stage at the same summit with a gun strapped to his thigh to address an audience of 12- to 26-year-olds.

Following the disaster, the congressman blamed his behavior on a “public and difficult divorce” and later announced that “all future date nights have been canceled” between him and the bar owner.
