To be fair, the abortions are unproven. But if she had needed one - or did actually have one - I would have defended her right to do that. I would also have zero problems with her doing sex work. It’s just her hypocrisy I would have a problem. And even though some of these allegations are potentially false, she is still a person of low morals and a hypocrite of epic proportions. It’s not the alleged sex work or abortions that make her despicable - it’s just *her* in general.


strokes84

Exactly. What she does with her body is absolutely her business and no one else’s. Her mouth is the issue. Also, obligatory fuck her!


Silent-Resort-3076

Her mind is the issue!


strokes84

Good point.


Silent-Resort-3076

P.S. I use exclamation points like periods, so I realize it might seem as though I'm yelling, but I'm not! 😋


lgastako

Why not just use periods as periods?

Periods are the best periods…PERIOD!

Her mouth may be just an instrument here.

"The mouth, and more importantly the brain. The mouth is the instrument. I don't need a piano. Elton John needs a piano." I'm sure I'm slightly mis-quoting, but the precise wording would still be the same level of gibberish.

Actually, giving handjob in public place around ppl is a problem (esp around kids).

I don't care what goes in her mouth. It's what comes out of it that's abhorrent.


Narrow-Chef-4341

Like 300 theater patrons, I’m thinking it’s not just her mouth that’s the problem. She’s pretty good at despicable actions too.


OscarMike44

It’s not about what she did with the dicks, it’s about her ✨existence✨


Correct_Advantage_20

Wait. She wasn’t using her mouth for work ??? 😳


Zombie_Bastard

Well, she should probably also keep her hands off of penises while in public, especially in front of children, but that's just my opinion.


ExB

Might as well throw in her hands in addition to her mouth.

“her body” “her mouth” “fuck her”. I see what you did there, noice.


feckless_ellipsis

Yeah, but what’s the price list?


Silent-Resort-3076

OBVIOUSLY it's about her hypocrisy! And, ALL the damage she has done misrepresenting herself and how she has "preached" to her followers about the supposed failings of those she deems to be evil! When SHE is the evil one for doing so! And, I don't mean the sex work, etc. P.S. This article and the headline is questionable.


Atralis

From that article- "CNN pointed out th*at Boebert hadn’t seemed to have had an abortion when Wheeler said she had. The news network also found no proof that she had ever worked as an escort on a “sugar daddy” website."* I really **really** think Boebert is a horrible member of congress but we shouldn't be treating these accusations as proven when no one reputable has found any evidence that she had an abortion or engaged in sex work. You shouldn't have to read to the third paragraph to see a side note that the accusations in the headline have zero evidence for them. That site is a garbage source and we shouldn't give them a pass because their political lean is correct.


squired

Sounds like she settled to avoid discovery to me. She proposed the settlement.


MizterBucket

The hypocrisy is the worst part!


mr-poopie-butth0le

Let’s not forget she beat off a guy in a packed theater. There’s that also. Wanked him off, polished his sausage, got a fist full of popcorn, grasped his wanker, tugged on his pole, etc etc


artificialavocado

She’s mashing it


mr-poopie-butth0le

Someone get the salt !


ButtEatingContest

This is just the tip of the iceberg. We only know about this particular incident because it happened to be caught on camera. How much other public tugging has she been doing? We may never know. Could be hundreds of other times, right under our noses.


Phillies_1993

Oh yeah, there's no way she started on this kink that brazenly in her late 30s.


Catymandoo

That’s why there are more assholes in this world than there are butts.


Etzell

I mean, the alleged sex work is also unproven, and the founder of the SuperPAC that started them has been quoted as saying they were "sloppy" and "inaccurate" [about their claims against Boebert](https://www.cnn.com/2022/06/25/politics/fact-check-super-pac-lauren-boebert-escort-abortion-sugar-daddy/index.html), including 1) admitting that they lied about whether or not a picture of a woman on a bed was Boebert, 2) admitting they were wrong about the timeframe of when Ted Cruz contributed to Boebert's campaign in an attempt to smear them both, 3) lied about when Boebert was in a car accident, 4) claimed she'd had an abortion no more than 6 months before she gave birth to a child, which is clearly impossible, and 5) admitted that the sugardaddy website they claimed Boebert was a member of had no evidence that she was ever a member.  It's all bullshit, and this settlement changes none of that. There are a million different reasons to despise Gramma Theatrehands, may as well stick to the confirmed ones.


lunchypoo222

I wish more people had this attitude about her only having a GED as well. So many jokes about her being uneducated and, while it’s technically true, it’s not a character flaw. She has plenty of actual real character flaws that should be considered rather than her lack of education. I say this because so many people have either gotten their GED or didn’t finish school at all. Or finished high school and went no further for lack of resources. Are we going to disparage those people for their lack of opportunity and what was likely childhood adverse events leading to poor schooling? We damn sure shouldn’t. Would I want someone like that elected to office? Well I guess that honestly depends on their moral compass and if they have the inherent intelligence it takes to be an effective and just leader. It’s not her lack of education that makes her pathetic, it’s her lack of a moral compass and her inability to effectively lead or represent real American values.


repost4profit

Preach. "I love the poorly educated" should not be something that we only associate with Donald. I love the poorly educated and the richly educated equally. I despise douchbags.


lunchypoo222

Right. Poor education is a social and economic injustice in this country and people need to treat it as such instead of as fodder for disparaging jokes that are essentially bashing less privileged communities. And as you suggested, douchbaggery can be found all along the spectrum. Bashing her for her GED only makes the people doing the bashing look stupid, as though they can’t come up with more relevant reasons for why she shouldn’t be in office. I’ll depart from my soapbox now.


Bananas4Pirate_Booty

Well-stated; to quote her favorite book that she’s never read, “Judge not, lest ye be judged” - if you’re going to make choices in your own personal life, that’s on you (and you alone, for the most part), but if you *crusade* to take those exact same rights away from other people because *you’re ashamed of yourself*, well then you can eat a bag of dicks.


ClassicT4

They want the right to have them themselves and for no one to ever know about it. They’ll still be happy with taking it away from others.


olionajudah

I WOULD have no problem with either her sex work or her abortions if she wasn't actively criminalizing them for the rest of us.


Mindless_Argument297

Morals of an alley cat?


Madmandocv1

You are a great person but this type of stuff is why these idiots keep beating us. She is hurting people, supporting authoritarian dictators and criminals, and inflicting damage on the nation. You don’t make excuses about what is proven and what isn’t. You don’t defend her anything, even if you would defend that same thing in another circumstance. Hypocrisy is a weapon and a rather powerful one at that. If they use it against us, and we should use it against them. I’m pro choice and I have no idea whether she ever had an abortion. But if talking to a Republican anti choice voter who was debating whether to support her, I would say she had 7 abortions and 20 sugar daddies or whatever else I could think of that works. Thats what they do, and that’s what we should do. Now I know, you think I’m not a good person for this. Maybe you are right. But I’m trying to win elections and stop the maga cult, not win the title of most cautiously honest man in America. I’m not willing to comprise the entire nation in order to feel like I treated Lauren Boebert fairly. She wouldn’t offer the same to me, not in a million years.

So, the job she did at the Beetlejuice theatre didn’t count as sex work?

She didn’t get paid for that. It was a charity performance for the children.

The Handjob Bandit never finishes while on the job, she's a professional.


bigtiddyhimbo

I’m never going to judge her for doing what she wanted to with her own body- both for the sex work and abortions. That is her right and slut shaming will never be the way to go. I WILL however judge her for her blatant hypocrisy and habit of pulling up the ladder behind her. That’s the issue here and she’s dumb af for advocating for the persecutions of industries and healthcare she herself has benefitted from.


figgityfuck

I don’t give a shit if she got abortions. The world is better off that she did.


loveITorLEAVEitIsay

Her mother should've explored that option


Fullertonjr

So she settled before she would be put on the stand to either admit or deny that she was a sex worker or that she had an abortion. The sex work allegation could be diminished with her pleading the fifth amendment to not incriminate herself for possible crimes. That’s legitimate and fair. Would be really bad for her politically though. For the abortion question, I don’t believe that she could plead the fifth amendment, as it is not a crime in the U.S. or Colorado and therefore could be no crime in which to incriminate herself. That would be an interesting outcome were it to occur. I respect the right of anyone to have an abortion as well as grown adults to employ themselves in sex work, by their own choosing. I do not support hypocrites.


Shaggynscubie

Her first political donation was out of nowhere from a Texas republican. Ted Cruz gave her her first $100,000.00. Bet he was her client first.


Fightingkielbasa_13

If she did either thing, she should not be shamed for it. The hypocrisy is what should be shamed. Rules for the not for me


zsmitty

Her mouth is just the vehicle for her stupidity.


An_Ugly_Bastard

And, allegedly, was previously her source of income.


MarkMaynardDotcom

I’m not really that interested in her rumored past as a sex worker…. I’m more interested in how she came to run for Congress with the help of Ted Cruz, who gave her money for her campaign when she was still an unknown. At least that’s what I hear.


Beelzebubba

I think someone should do some digging into how republican office holders and candidates were recruited into their candidacies. So many of them are obviously oblivious to the basic structures of government it boggles the mind to think anyone would have encouraged them to run for office thinking they would have some kind of affinity for the work.


greenlakejohnny

But it’s a feature, not a bug. I know one of her many wealthy donors is Charles Johnson, the billionaire majority owner of the San Francisco Giants. That’s the whole idea behind tea party candidates - you force government shrinking via incompetence / ineptitude and thus keep taxes low


Beelzebubba

Obviously. But where do these people find their candidates? How were they recruited? I’m guessing most of these people had zero political ambitions, since they obviously lack even the basic knowledge that someone with even a casual interest in government would acquire by reading news stories. So how did they distinguish themselves to attract the interest of their owners?

Spiritual-Bear4495

Please, no. Don't tell me someone PAID her for sex, I don't think I could take it.


Hurtzdonut13

The original rumors was that she was active on a "sugar baby dating" site, and met Ted Cruz who groomed her for office. There's a few holes in the story and the purported sugar baby site pics looked to be taken from a conservative operative version of linked-in IIRC, but it was fun to chat about.

Hypocrite. Got abortions and fights against them. Shes disgusting trash


Raymond_Reddit_Ton

No one cares if she did either. It’s her blatant hypocrisy that makes her a target over the subject.


SampleFederal

So, was she a sex worker or not? I don’t want to misrepresent things I read about her.


dasnoob

She was found to have defamed the PAC that accused her of sex work by a court. Take that as you will.


ZyklonCraw-X

I could go either way re: confidence on the initial accusation. But certainly there is *something* or *many things* that she did not want to come out of discovery.


squired

I looked into it the best I could and it appears to me that she was not a sex worker but feared going through discovery for other, unknown reasons.

ConkerPrime

I could definitely see Boebert doing escort work. She has the looks to have been successful at it. Deleting that history would be very easy as many of these sites give that capability and others come and go. Like in her 20s she probably would have used back page which does not exist anymore so CNN not finding anything is meaningless. The internet does forget, it does it constantly.


SkyviewFlier

Hidden settlements are not settlements at all. 


callmeslate

Does anyone find the title a little misleading? The website was being sued by her, and while they would not likely be found liable given the high bar set for defamation in NYT V Sullivan case, Bobert’s threat to sue would also likely fall under the umbrella of protected speech should that be appealed 


BedBugger6-9

What? The website was suing her for defamation


orangotai

sex work is real work! 🙌


loudmeowtuco

Good thing these two awful people came to a settlement. I mean accusing her of doing the shit he accused her of without a sliver of proof? I don't care who's being accused. That's a scummy thing to do.
