Republican Congresswoman Lisa McClain, who represents Michigan’s 9th Congressional District in the northern suburbs of Detroit, delivered a brutal takedown of her colleague Lauren Boebert – who was caught on candid video last September… um… er… “manhandling” her date at a Denver theater during a live performance of Beetlejuice – during last night’s annual Washington Press Club Dinner:
“House Republican Lauren Boebert was mocked on Wednesday by one of her GOP colleagues at the Washington Press Club Foundation’s annual congressional dinner.
At the beginning of her keynote address, Representative Lisa McClain, a Republican from Michigan, said: “Please keep your hands above the table and I know it’s date night for some of you but no inappropriate touching. That includes you Lauren Boebert. No vaping either.”
McClain was referencing an incident that took place in Denver, Colorado, on September 10 when Boebert and a male companion were asked to leave a performance of the musical Beetlejuice for repeatedly vaping and taking photos. Footage later emerged of Boebert and the man groping each other during the show, for which she later apologized.“
The ever vigilant ACYN documented McClain’s remarks on Twitter, much to the delight of his followers, though, unfortunately, no shots of Boebert’s reaction to the thorough skewering was included:

Yup. It’s not like she does anything constructive with them.

Some in ACYN’s thread point out that McClain herself is an election denying, Trumpified Republican and perhaps we should not enjoy her slam for that reason. But I am here for any MAGA on MAGA ridicule she wants to dish out!
Brutal 😀

Yup.
Love it when Republicans start turning on their own party, even if it is a dark comedy joke.

Was Bobo really there???

Yup
I get it that McClain is a horrible person and some feel we should not credit her even when she lampoons a ditz like Boebert.
But if she wants to raise her profile at Boebert’s expense I say let her have at it.
Because, as an ally of Trump, her time of public shaming will inevitably come around.
Bobo did it – now come the consequences. She’s a laughingstock every where.
Low-hanging fruit-that is what McClain picked.
