Lauren Boebert Opponent Films Campaign Ad In 'Beetlejuice' Theater Seat
HuffPost
In the video, John Padora says the Colorado Republican was "kicked out of" both the Denver venue and her congressional district.
“Beetlejuice” is rearing its ugly head once again for Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.), this time in the form of a political opponent’s campaign ad.
John Padora, a Democrat running against Boebert to replace Republican Ken Buck in Colorado’s 4th Congressional District, says he filmed his video in the exact seat at the Denver theater where Boebert sat in September, when she and a date were escorted out of a “Beetlejuice” musical for vaping and being disruptive.
In the ad, Padora points out that Boebert is switching over to Colorado’s 4th District from the 3rd. The move, announced last year, meant that she could avoid a rematch against a Democrat in the 3rd who outraised her.
“I’m sitting in the very same seat that Lauren Boebert got kicked out of, the same way she got kicked out of Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District,” Padora says in the video. “Now she’s picked up her bags and fled to eastern Colorado to run in the 4th Congressional District.”
HuffPost reached out to Boebert’s office for comment on the ad but did not receive an immediate response.
