This is the best summary I could come up with:


Colorado Republican Rep Lauren Boebert’s Democratic rival posted a hilarious new ad speaking from the lawmaker’s seat during her scandalous Beetlejuice outing last fall.

Democratic Congressional hopeful John Padora sat in a maroon movie theater chair, saying in his new ad: “I’m sitting in the very same seat Lauren Boebert got kicked out of.

The switch came after a series of embarrassing public incidents and a narrow victory over a Democrat competitor in her home district in 2022.

“Boebert’s an opportunistic carpetbagger and we deserve real leadership here in Colorado’s 4th,” he said, before asking supporters for donations.

Padora’s ad, released days before the Colorado primary races on June 25, highlights how the Beetlejuice incident still plagues the embattled GOP incumbent.

In May, Boebert was welcomed by chants of “Beetlejuice” when she visited George Washington University’s campus amid pro-Gaza protests.
