Letters: Lauren Boebert’s “Beetlejuice” spectacle is just her brand in Congress

Boebert’s antics are unacceptableRe: “Boebert escorted out of musical,” Sept. 13 news storyI read with great dismay about Lauren Boebert’s behavior at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts the other night. I’m not sure how many “ordinary” citizens are escorted out of the theater due to bad behavior. However, when one is elected to represent a portion of a state’s population, you might expect that, that representative would be able to handle herself in public in a manner that did not detract from the event that her fellow attendees paid for, let alone draw attention to her self such that she is asked to leave.How sad is it that a large portion of the State of Colorado is represented by someone who has so little respect for others that she carried on in a public setting where decorum is enforced to assure the attendees benefit from the experience?Unfortunately, this is just another example of her public behavior. Most of the time she is in the news, it is because...

But as she and Richards realized there were more Democrats than they thought — 35% of the county voted for Hillary Clinton — they began to strategize.“We were so angry,” said Rogers. “And we were both retired, so we had the time for it.”Rural north state Democrats have lo...
