Yesterday, I chronicled Colorado representative Lauren Boebert’s escapade with her companion at a Denver theater. You can read it here, I’m not interested in re-hashing all the dirty deets.
Last night, after irrefutable video evidence surfaced that showed Lauren Boebert’s denial of her actions were in fact outright lies, she finally issued a statement taking responsibility. Sort of. Here’s the statement.
For those not in the know, this is another feckless Boebert apology. Especially the part where she blames the stress of her divorce on her acting like a $10 streetwalker. Blaming your actions on the struggles and dissolution in your marriage is one hell of a cop-out. It’s like saying, “I don’t have the man I cheated on any more, so I acted out in a public space.”
Man, if that’s the case, you need some serious help. Step away from public life and get some top-level counseling.
And while we’re on the subject … why have I only heard one apology in this matter?
Where’s the apology from Boebert’s “companion,” Quinn Gallagher?
See, it’s Quinn Gallagher who “escorted” Boebert to the performance of Beetlejuice: The Musical at the Buell Theater in Denver. It’s Gallagher who, as the video clearly shows, copped a feel of Boebert’s funbags when the lights were out and nobody was looking. It was Gallagher who, when Boebert moved her hand into his crotch, put his hand there to accompany hers as well.
The two of them acted like horndogs. He’s just as guilty of abhorrent behavior as she is. Where’s his apology for his actions?
I’ve seen this before.
Way back at Super Bowl 38.
Yep. The halftime show where the whole world was shocked to learn that Janet Jackson had breasts. And while Janet Jackson was pilloried in the media for the event, the singer who pulled the costume part off her body – Justin Timberlake – escaped virtually unscathed. Which kinda sucks. Janet didn’t pull the breastplate off herself, that was Justin Timberlake’s hand that did the yanking. But Timberlake’s still a big recording star today, while Janet’s still trying to rebuild her career – 20 years later.
So, yeah. I want to hear Quinn Gallagher – who, by the way, is a 46-year-old bar owner who hosted drag shows at his establishment as recently as January of last year, quel damage! – to apologize for acting like a perv. Then again, I guess it’s okay to have drag shows at your bar AND accompany a noted transphobe to an event and feel her up when the lights go out. But hey, you do you, Quinn Gallagher.
Because with Lauren Boebert, you’re getting what you see.
And after seeing that – I need a gallon of Visine. For each eyeball. Ugh.
