When a pregnant woman seated behind Boebert asked her to stop vaping during show, the politician...
... Boebert didn’t care if she ruined the musical “Beetlejuice” playing at the Buell Theatre for anyone else, and she certainly didn’t care if the pregnant woman sitting behind her had to breathe her second-hand smoke from a vape pen. Boebert denies that she was vaping, although she did admit to taking photos of the live performance.

Vivek Ramaswamy is America's demagogue-in-waiting
