Nah, her behavior lined up with the values she’s always displayed. She’s trash, she acted like trash. Shrug.

[–] DocMcStuffin@lemmy.world 124 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Case in point: her husband exposed himself to two young women while they were dating. She decided he was still marriage material. Absolute trash.

[–] gregorum@lemm.ee 80 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

She was one of those young women, by the way. And a minor.

[–] matchphoenix@feddit.uk 44 points 1 year ago

Her love language is public penises.

I'm sure Republicans look at this situation with the same level of concern as all the made up Democrat pedophile grooming they won't stop ranting about.

You spelled underage girls wrong

Case in point: her husband exposed himself to two ~~young women~~ children while they were dating. She decided he was still marriage material. Absolute trash.

FTFY

Oh her boyfriend owns a bar that hosts LBGTQ+ events? This keeps getting better.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 54 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I love how that's just tossed in at the end, as if it we shouldn't be rubbing it into her hypocritical face.

[–] gregorum@lemm.ee 26 points 1 year ago (1 children)

She’s that dog that you rub their nose into the poo they did on the carpet, and while you’re doing it, she poos again.

Then eats it

[–] Sir_Kevin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 23 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

For those not aware, she's a far right congress woman that publically hates on the LGBT community. The issue here isn't that this guy is cool with alternative peeps, it's that she's a hypocrite.

Imagine AOC stroking hers BF dick, while he fondles her Tits. In a Theater. With Video-Footage. Imagine what Bobblehead would say to that. Craaaazy low standards in the Republican party.

[–] CeruleanRuin@lemmings.world 123 points 1 year ago

Bringing up AOC every time Boebert shits the bed is unfair and degrading to AOC.

[–] numlok@lemmy.world 61 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If it weren't for their double standards, they'd have no standards at all.

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 27 points 1 year ago (1 children)

See? They have twice as many standards as the Dems! /s

Not even divorced yet and she's already getting fingerbanged in public with her affair partner. That's some fine Republican family values there, making her grandchild conceived outside of teenaged marriage proud.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 74 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Imagine if someone like AOC acted like ANY of this in public. The bloody Christly GOP would be screaming for her head on a platter.

[–] Why9@lemmy.world 27 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

"Nobody panics when things go "according to plan." Even if the plan is horrifying! If, tomorrow, I tell the press that, like, Lauren Boebert got fingered in a public theatre, or that she was dry jerking her bf in public while her divorce is still warm, nobody panics, because it's all "part of the plan". But when I say that AOC was protesting abortion rights outside the supreme court, well then everyone loses their minds!"

It's strange how these people always and consistently fall short of the values they're trying to force on others.

There's one of those dropkicks in the Australian parliament. One of those staunch conservative, deeply catholic people. Was dead set against same sex marriage because 'it devalues traditional marriage'. One day it came out that he'd been cheating on his wife and the mother of his four children with a woman half his age (he was nearing sixty at the time). Not only did he get his mistress pregnant, he also set her up with a cushy job in parliament.

His response when questioned about all this in relation to his claims about gay marriage: "I never said I was a saint."

[–] madcaesar@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ah yes, the "I was only joking bro" defense. The hallmark of assholes around the world.

It has been "difficult and humbling."

Humbling? Humbling? I'll believe that when I fucking see it. She has never once betrayed the slightest hint of humility.

A report from the Advocate, the LGBTQ+ news outlet, noted that the man who accompanied her to Beetlejuice was a Democrat named Quinn Gallagher who is the proprietor of a bar that has hosted LGBTQ+ events and drag performances, which have often been targets of the political right.

Hmmm

[–] kersk@lemmy.world 38 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My man Quinn over here having a failure of values and sticking his dick in category 5 crazy.

She'll get a pass. This is the common refrain from psuedo-Christian fascists. "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."

[–] athos77@kbin.social 25 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nah, it's "She has recognized that which was wrong and has repented. God has forgiven her and who are we to judge?"

Of course, when it's a liberal, it's, "They refuse to recant their evil ways, we must stone them to death!"

They neither care nor critically think about their candidate's personal lives. They "deal with it" through whataboutism, thought terminating cliches, etc.

All they care about is their candidates "hurting the right people".

Hate and fear mongering.

But wait…

“I’ve tried to handle it with strength and grace as best I can, but I simply fell short of my values on Sunday,” Boebert said.

Oh, wait. She doesn't believe in shit. It's all a show. Just like we all knew.

You have to actually have values to fail them.

[–] BigMacHole@lemm.ee 42 points 1 year ago (2 children)

That's ok. Groping your techincally male mistress while in full view of children isn't as bad as being gay in full view of children.

She is short of values. A disgusting piece of shit that needs to be removed from her position.

[–] yoast@notdigg.com 39 points 1 year ago (2 children)

The bar is so low that I am genuinely surprised she hasn't denied it was her or claimed it was wasn't a big deal and actually admitted she messed up

[–] FarceMultiplier@lemmy.ca 38 points 1 year ago (1 children)

She originally claimed she was kicked out because she was too enthusiastic about the show.

[–] expatriado@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

she was so enthusiastic about the show, exclaiming oh yeah repeatedly

“Do you know who I am” is also what the wide-stance republiQan said when he was arrested.

getting to second base in a theater is one of her best values though

What values?

[–] 800XL@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Espousing all those good christian values!

[–] gregorum@lemm.ee 30 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (4 children)

Like marrying the sex predator who exposed himself to you and your friends in a bowling alley when you were a minor, and being the 36-year-old grandmother with a 14-year-old daughter who doesn’t know who’s the father of her own baby.

Solid Christian values!

Makes the allegations about her formerly being an escort a lot more credible.

She went on to say she values her ability to not get caught on video.

Leerin' Boobert.

Leerin' at the cock while he fondles her Booberts.
