Rep. Lisa McClain (R-Mich.) on Wednesday zinged fellow House right-winger Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) for her antics at a “Beetlejuice” musical. (Watch the video beneath.)
“If you could, for the speech tonight, if everyone could, please keep their hands above the table,” she stated. “And I know it’s date night for some of you but no inappropriate touching. That includes you, Lauren Boebert. No vaping either.”
McClain, who launched herself as a “Trump-lovin’ MAGA Republican,” received some laughs with the dig at her beleaguered colleague.
Boebert made headlines in September for groping her date and vaping throughout a stage efficiency of “Beetlejuice.” Now her stint within the House seems in jeopardy after she polled fifth at a GOP main debate for the brand new district seat she’s searching for. Boebert supposedly thought she’d have a greater shot at successful that district than her present one.
McClain, an election denier, stored the jokes coming in a night meant to be lighthearted. She facetiously thanked the “Oscar winner, an Emmy winner, a two-time Olympian” George Santos (R-N.Y.), the mendacity pol who was booted from Congress. She additionally requested Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-N.Y.) to not pull the fireplace alarm, as he did throughout a House session final 12 months. (McClain launched the decision to censure Bowman.) She warned friends to regulate their gold necklaces and silverware as a result of Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.), who’s accused of accepting gold bars as bribes, was there and “has a few legal bills to pay.”
