Colorado police reportedly arrived after Jayson Boebert called and claimed he was ‘victim of domestic violence’ and punched in face

Rightwing US congresswoman Lauren Boebert is denying allegations that she punched her ex-husband in the face in public after police in Colorado were reportedly called out to an encounter involving the pair Saturday night at a restaurant.

The incident was first reported by the Daily Beast. The news site said that Jayson Boebert called police claiming that he was a “victim of domestic violence”. In an interview with the Daily Beast, Jayson Boebert alleged that the congresswoman had “punched” him in the face several times. He claimed to have a witness to the events.

“I didn’t punch Jayson in the face and no one was arrested,” Boebert said in a statement provided to reporter Kyle Clark of television station KUSA. Calling Saturday night’s events “a sad situation for all that keeps escalating”, she added: “I will be consulting with my lawyer about the false claims he made against me and evaluate all of my legal options.”

    She also vehemently denied giving handies and vaping at Beetlejuice: The Musical… then the videos came out.

    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.

      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?

          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.

    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.
