The new flame of Trump MAGA loyalist and Congresswoman Lauren Boebert, seen in a theatre fondling her breasts, owns an LGBTQ-friendly bar despite his partner having controversial views on the issue.
Quinn Gallagher, 46, owns a gay-friendly bar that hosts drag shows, something the Colorado lawmaker has spoken out about in the past. "Take your children to Church, not drag bars," she tweeted in June last year.
Boebert has apologised after she was seen in a theatre in Denver groping Gallagher, who in turn grabbed her breast. The Two were thrown out for disorderly behaviour as other people in the theatre complained about her vaping, singing loudly during the performance of the musical Beetlejuice and blocking people's view by raising her hand.

Boebert has said her recent divorce has taken a toll personally (Getty Images)“I was laughing, I was singing, having a fantastic time, was told to kinda settle it down a little bit, which I did, but then, my next slip up was taking a picture," she told One America News Network in an interview today. "I was a little too eccentric … I’m on the edge of a lot of things."

The controversial Trump loyalist and gun rights advocate previously apologised for the series of less-than-salubrious incidents and cited her recent divorce as causing her a "challenging personal time." She filed for divorce in May due to “irreconcilable differences.”

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

"Congresswoman Lauren Boebert is indeed a supporter of the performing arts (gasp)," campaign manager Drew Sexton said in a statement." Later, Boebert said she "genuinely did not recall vaping that evening."

A pregnant woman sitting behind her in the theatre who asked her to stop smoking was reportedly called “a sad and miserable person.”
During the confrontation, the two made comments along the lines of “Do you know who I am” and “I will be contacting the mayor,” according to theatre representatives.

The election could be a re-rerun of her recent fight against Democratic candidate Adam Frisch.
In her relatively short time in Washington, Boebert built a national profile and has aligned with the extreme right wing of the GOP. Her assertive style has grabbed media headlines, most famously when she heckled President Joe Biden during his 2022 State of the Union address.
