Rep. Lauren Boebert Ridiculed For Attending Trump's Trial, But Not Her Son's
HuffPost
The Colorado congresswoman didn't attend her own son's court appearance on May 9.
Rep. Lauren Boebert’s (R-Colo.) presence at Donald Trump’s hush money trial on Thursday caused an outcry on social media.
Boebert was the latest Republican to show fealty to Trump as she popped up in the New York courtroom where the trial is taking place.
She also posted a message of support for the former president on social media, saying, in part, “They may have gagged President Trump. They didn’t gag me. They didn’t gag the rest of us.”
Outside the courthouse, some people heckled Boebert with chants of “Beetlejuice” as she addressed a crowd, a reference to when she was booted from a Denver theater after she was caught vaping and groping her date during a performance of the “Beetlejuice” musical in September last year.
