A Republican Congresswoman absolutely took it to her House GOP colleague Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) in a scathing standup comedy routine.
During her monologue at the Washington Press Club Foundation dinner on Wednesday, Rep. Lisa McClain (R-MI) went right after what is a clear sore spot for the Colorado Republican.
“If everyone could please keep their hands above the table,” McClain said. “And I know it’s date night for some of you, but no inappropriate touching. That includes you Lauren Boebert. No vaping either.”
The stinging barb, of course, was a reference to an incident caught on tape at a Colorado theater back in September in which she and a date groped each other in plain view. Boebert was widely mocked and condemned over the episode.
Boebert recently announced she is switching districts in the 2024 election — opting to run in the much more conservative-friendly 4th district rather than the 3rd district she has represented for the past few years. In 2022, she survived a very close race against Democratic challenger Adam Frisch .
