Lauren Boebert Calls Security On Nonexistent 'Guy' In Women's Bathroom
HuffPost
The Colorado congresswoman reportedly thought the person was Rep. Sarah McBride, Congress' only transgender lawmaker. She later apologized.
Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert reportedly tried to kick a “guy” out of a women’s restroom in the U.S. Capitol on Thursday, only to realize she’d made a mistake.
Congressional leaders were voting on the House floor when the far-right representative reportedly came “bursting” out of a nearby women’s restroom and complained to security that there was “a guy” inside, Bloomberg reporter Billy House wrote in a series of posts on X.
Transgender people are banned from using single-sex facilities that align with their gender identities near the House Chamber under a policy first introduced by Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.).
House said Boebert brought Mace over to help sniff out the supposed intruder.
Recalling the scene, House said he waited outside the restroom after seeing Boebert and Mace storm back in. He saw four people leave after her, all women.
