Rightwing US congresswoman Lauren Boebert is denying
That's how we know it is true!
She also vehemently denied giving handies and vaping at Beetlejuice: The Musical… then the videos came out.
Also the scare quotes around “victim of domestic violence”
Whats that about
It's not scare quotes. Just indicating a verbatim quote from her ex.
“See, domestic violence is fine, because women do it, too.”
Given how her last round of accusations and denials of inappropriate public behavior went, I look forward to the surveillance video showing that's exactly what she did coming out in the next few days.
I mean...dude is named Jayson so I kinda wanna punch him too.
That, and not the "showing his dick to some minors at a bowling alley" thing?
Also Lauren was one of those minors.
She was flashed by an adult as a child and thought "I'm gonna marry that sex offender one day".
Who the fuck voted for this disaster?
Republicans. This is literally a fairy tale marriage to them.
Clearly following the religious text.
Deuteronomy 22:28–29
28 If a man encounters a young woman, a virgin who is not engaged, takes hold of her and rapes her, and they are discovered, 29 the man who raped her is to give the young woman’s father fifty silver shekels, and she will become his wife because he violated her. He cannot divorce her as long as he lives.
While not the same, it sort of catch the drift. Like people can worship whatever religion they want but Jesus this section of the bible is horrific and sort of highlight women as mere property (one of the countless examples in the bible), which should be expected coming from that time period but crazy this kind of thing is still expected to be followed unquestioned.

I wanna punch him for showing his hog to children
Hey! One of those children is his 30-something grandma ex-wife!
And he talks like this: Jayson Boebert said he told police he does not want to press charges. “I don’t want nothing to happen,” Jayson Boebert said. “Her and I were working through a difficult conversation.”
I'm pretty sure nothing isn't going to happen.
If bobo denies it, there's probably video surveillance from the restaurant, and three handheld recordings along with 10 eyewitnesses that show her punching.
American politics is no more sophisticated than trashy reality tv. Good luck with your country, folks. Genuinely.
Just show us the video already...
Silt police were called to an incident involving U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert and her ex-husband, Jayson Boebert, on Saturday night, authorities confirmed. In a statement to Colorado Politics on Sunday, the two-term Republican denied punching her ex-husband. “This is a sad situation for all that keeps escalating and another reason I’m moving," Boebert said in a text message, via a spokesman. "I didn’t punch Jayson in the face and no one was arrested. I will be consulting with my lawyer about the false claims he made against me and evaluate all of my legal options.” - TV-MA, 59 mins

“I did not hit him, it’s not true! It’s bullshit! I did not hit him! I did not! Oh hai, Mark.”
Most restaurants have cctv, hopefully we get another security video of her acting like trash
No handy?
If she denied it, it's probably true.
Is it domestic if it’s in a restaurant? Isn’t that just appetizers with a side of assault?
Swing and a miss.
Wait,.. if Mr. Boebert is her ex-husband, than Lauren isn’t a Boebert anymore. Or did I mis something?
Many (if not most) women have historically kept their married name after a divorce. Sometimes it depends on how long they lived with that married name, and whether or not they already have significant career milestones, professional accomplishments or public awareness attached to their married name.
Extremely common if they have children with the same last name, as well.
Kinda strange isn't it? You'd think that if you divorce a guy, the last thing you want is keep his name.
It can also be a bit of a pain to get it changed back even if you do wanna do it but in her case it makes sense since she's a public persona.
Name recognition will be big for her at election time. She's not going to give that up.
It wasn’t his face. It was his neck that’s different. 🤪
Starting to think it might be in her best interest to stay home for awhile.
I think she's going to get arrested.
In her statement, Lauren Boebert reiterated that the situation with her and Jayson Boebert was “another reason” for her 27 December 2023 announcement that she intended to relocate from Colorado’s third congressional district to the fourth and seek a third term in Congress there.
huh?
reiterated
was this mentioned before now?
Wait, I thought Ryan Reynolds and Barbara Streisand was the reason.
Yah, she's moving to a more strongly GOP district because reasons completely not about that.
Yeah, this just seems like a convenient excuse to pile on top since her move seems unpopular with the people in the new district. Maybe trying to get sympathy votes. I haven’t found it mentioned anywhere else, so probably bullshit.
