GOP House Rep. Lisa McClain Roasts Lauren Boebert's 'Inappropriate Touching'
HuffPost
The Trump-aligned congresswoman skewered her beleaguered right-wing colleague.
Rep. Lisa McClain (R-Mich.) on Wednesday zinged fellow House right-winger Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) for her antics at a “Beetlejuice” musical. (Watch the video below.)
McClain, a headliner at the annual Congressional Dinner, said she wanted to lay down ground rules for the evening.
“If you could, for the speech tonight, if everyone could, please keep their hands above the table,” she said. “And I know it’s date night for some of you but no inappropriate touching. That includes you, Lauren Boebert. No vaping either.”
McClain, who introduced herself as a “Trump-lovin’ MAGA Republican,” got some laughs with the dig at her beleaguered colleague.
Boebert made headlines in September for groping her date and vaping during a stage performance of “Beetlejuice.” Now her stint in the House appears in jeopardy after she polled fifth at a GOP primary debate for the new district seat she’s seeking. Boebert supposedly thought she’d have a better shot at winning that district than her current one.
