Will Lauren Boebert and other female politicians pay the price for their bad behavior?

A Republican member of the House Freedom Caucus vapes in a crowded Denver theater and engages in a sexual groping fest with her date.

A Democratic candidate for the Virginia House of Delegates is found to have performed sexual acts with her husband for the online audience of an adult Internet site.

The ultra-MAGA married Republican governor of South Dakota is accused of having a years-long clandestine affair with a married adviser to former President Trump.

The California Democratic statewoman is facing a civil lawsuit in a lawsuit alleging she sexually harassed a high-ranking subordinate darling before firing her.

My god, the girls really

to have

go nuts.

Let’s start with the antics of Republican U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado, who made headlines last week for being kicked out of a performance of the musical Beetlejuice.

In this awkward political moment, it was nice to see the right and left agree for once: Boebert’s behavior in that theater last week was nothing short of shitty.

Totally embarrassing bimbo, tweeted Ann Coulter, who can be something of an embarrassing bimbo herself.

It’s just another step into shame, he said

Adam

Frisch, the Democrat from Colorado who came within a hair’s breadth of unseating Boebert in 2022 and will challenge her again in 2024. She even lied about her lies.

WHERE. Boebert initially denied that she had vaped, but said in a later apology that she had forgotten that she had vaped after the theater released security camera footage that clearly showed her blowing a cloud of vapor into the crowded theater. She was also seen caressing her date’s crotch, who massaged her breast.

I mean it

watched

as if he was trying to process a feeling, but I suppose it’s possible he was just trying to coax her ample breasts back into her extremely low-cut dress. Images of her petulant, bird-like exit, in fact,

showed her pulling her form-fitting dress back into place.

Anyway, it’s not about Boebert’s breasts. The point is that she brands herself as a socially conservative family values ​​Christian who staunchly opposes gay marriage and any public display of gender-bending. Take your children to CHURCH, she once tweeted, no tow bars. She has equated the gender-affirming treatment of trans children with child care.

And isn’t it always those who are obsessed with the sexuality of others who have trouble keeping their hands to themselves?

36-year-old Boebert,

who married at the age of 18,

She filed for divorce in May. She blamed her inappropriate behavior on her “public and difficult” divorce. On Monday, her estranged husband, Jayson Boebert, blamed himself and asked her voters to forgive her. He admitted that he has been unfaithful in so many ways, he wrote, and I ask all of you to show grace and mercy to Lauren during this difficult season. She deserves a chance to earn your forgiveness and regain trust.

Mercy for the woman who repeatedly interrupted and heckled President Biden during his State of the Union address last year? Which over the years, in countless contacts with courts and law enforcement agencies, has shown, in the words of

a Denver Post columnist

an astonishing sense of entitlement”? In any case, forgive her. Just don’t vote to re-elect this embarrassment of a public official.

Meanwhile, the Washington Post revealed last week that Virginia House of Delegates candidate Susanna Gibson, an attractive 40-year-old nurse and mother of two elementary school-age children, performed sex acts with her equally attractive attorney husband in front of a live online audience and encouraged viewers to pay them with tips.

According to the newspaper, a Republican operative who claimed to have no ties to the campaign of Gibson’s opponents but insisted on anonymity, revealed the existence of Gibson’s report on Chaturbate (

the name is

a seriously icky mashup of chatting and masturbating.)

In at least two videos, the Post reported, she tells viewers she is raising money for charity. “

Was this a creative new form of political fundraising? Doubtful, as Gibson says in a statement to the Post:

accused the one whose information was leaked

an illegal invasion of my privacy, intended to humiliate me and my family and claimed to be the victim of a sex crime.

Serious?

It’s creepy to read reports of an extramarital affair between the MAGA family values ​​Republican governor of South Dakota. Kristi Noem, 51, the first female governor in her state’s history, and Trump’s infamously badly behaved campaign adviser

Corey Lewandowski

. Although Noem once described the rumors of their affair as total nonsense and a disgusting lie, neither has explicitly denied the most recent stories

so far

which a spokesperson for Noems attributed

the reports

to political retaliation for backing Trump for president. A handful of Republicans told the Daily Mail and the New York Post that the relationship had been an open secret in Republican circles, with one going so far as to describe a 2021 make-out session at a hotel bar in Orlando as absurdly blatant and public .

Boebert’s behavior is shameful and indefensible. At least in the case of Gibson and Noem, one could call the misconduct (or alleged behavior in Noem’s case) consensual, although it is difficult to argue that children and voters do not suffer adverse consequences if their parents or

representative

become poor judgment and sexual behavior

S

National news.

The lawsuit against California State Treasurer Fiona Ma stands alone because she is accused of completely unwanted sexual conduct. According to her accuser, Ma,

who is running for lieutenant governor in 2026,

often shared hotel rooms in Sacramento with her staff after working late. The former staffer alleged that Ma called her to her hotel room several times, exposed her naked buttocks and once climbed into the staffer’s bed with her. Ma was also accused of racial discrimination and wrongful dismissal.

Last week, a Sacramento

district

The Supreme Court judge dismissed these allegations

,

but allowed the sexual harassment claims to be taken to court. Ma, 57, has denied the claims. The allegations are baseless by a disgruntled employee, and we look forward to proving them to be false, Mas spokesman Steven Maviglio told the Sacramento Bee.

In the not-so-distant days of yore, it would be almost unthinkable that a high-profile, politically ambitious woman would become involved in this kind of scandal and have any hope of saving her career. That’s just not the case anymore.

For better or worse, to paraphrase the words of the old Virginia Slims ad, we’ve come a long way, baby.
