Why Was Lauren Boebert Kicked Out Of Denver 'Beetlejuice' Musical? Memes About The Politician Being Kicked Out Of 'Beetlejuice' Explained

Lauren Boebert is a conservative American politician who first rose to fame for her opinions on QAnon, open-carry laws and Donald Trump. Boebert sometimes goes viral for controversial opinions expressed on her X profile, but the politician recently seems to have landed herself in hot water without the need for political drama.

After news channels broke the news of Boebert being escorted out of a Denver theater for unsavory behavior, many assumed that the charges of vaping and flash photography were crass but perhaps understandable. But as more news about the incident unfolded, internet users began making memes regarding Boebert's date and the two of them appearing to get overly handsy with each other before being booted from the show.

What Happened With Boebert During The Denver 'Beetlejuice' Musical?

On September 12th, news about Boebert being escorted out of a Denver showing of the musical Beetlejuice was published by the Denver Post, with venue officials accusing her of vaping, singing, recording and being a general nuisance.

Boebert's team denied the accusations, but a local Denver news network shared CCTV footage later that day confirming the accusations against Boebert — among other things.

The video showed Boebert vaping, taking flash photography and, at one point, appearing to move the hand of her male companion to her chest. The footage also showed Boebert flipping off the usher while being escorted from the show.

Who Was Boebert's Date During The 'Beetlejuice' Incident?

Soon after the news about Boebert's Beetlejuice escapades broke, the Daily Mail published an article identifying her date as 46-year-old Quinn Gallagher, a cocktail bar owner in Aspen Colorado.

The Daily Mail also quoted a "well-placed source" as saying, "It's very surprising. I always thought Quinn was a cool guy and a Democrat. His parents would be horrified because they are definitely blue."

What Are The Lauren Boebert 'Handy' Speculations?

X user @GeoRebekah shared a zoomed-in video of the CCTV footage from the Beetlejuice incident in which Gallagher appears to have his hands on Boebert's chest while Boebert has her hands on Gallagher's crotch. The video was posted alongside the caption, "This was a Beetlejuice show. Kids were there."

Needless to say, this revelation spread like wildfire online (as well as rumors that it was the pair's first date) and has drawn considerable backlash toward Boebert regarding the ongoing controversy. Additionally, the "action" being done in the security footage has proved to be notable as a source for many memes over the last several days.
