How to describe the Boebert video. A sampling

NYT: " touching and carrying on with her date"

POLITICO: "appears to show Boebert and her male companion fondling each other sexually"

NYP: "groped ‘Beetlejuice’ date in heavy-petting session"

GUARDIAN: "eagerly groping each other"

SALON: "fiddling with each other's privates"

Fox news: Lauren Boebert removed from ‘Beetlejuice’ performance in Colorado after laughing and singing loudly

Lol, their article is the most obvious case of burying the lede I've ever seen. No mention of the video until the last paragraph where it describes as "touching her partner"

Yeah, at least Bill Clinton had a room.

[-] Subverb@lemmy.world -3 points 2 years ago

That room was the Oval Office at one point, but okay.

[-] WeirdGoesPro@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 2 years ago

A hallway adjacent to the Oval Office.

Which even as a downplay of her actions is unforgivable. You don't sing loudly during a performance, you're the audience.

I'm sorry I thought this was America!?
