    Kyle Clark is a Colorado treasure. I watched his show almost every night since 2018 until I moved out of Colorado. He is witty, insightful and just the right amount of sarcastic. I hope he is still on air when I finally go back home

        I couldn’t quite figure out what color her skin was supposed to be. At least she feathers hers in and doesn’t like like she was hit in the face with a cream pie.

      WTF is with those eyebrows!?!

      They look like giant fake caterpillar stickers or something.

        Respectfully, I think there are plenty of legitimate criticisms we can make without resorting to making fun of her appearance.

          No. She’s an idiot and she looks stupid.

          If it was something about her appearance she had no control over, then yeah. I agree.

          But she made herself look stupid, and I’ll call her stupid.

            This comes off as a really sexist opinion. No one needs to change their appearance just because you don’t approve of it. Bodily autonomy is a human right.

              Sexist? What does her gender have anything to do with making fun of a persons stupid choices?

              Check your own sexism if you think anything in my comments have anything to do with gender inequality.

              Yes, bodily autonomy is a human right. It’s not like I’m advocating for laws against her eyebrows.

              Although she’s free to do what she likes, she will still suffer the consequences of general pubic opinion when you purposefully make self look like a clown and being laughed at.

                You’re implying that because you don’t like her appearance and she’s capable of changing it to be more pleasing or acceptable to you, it’s okay to belittle her for it.

                That’s right up there with “you should smile more” and “you’d be so pretty with a little bit of makeup”.

            We both think that she’s an idiot. Why does she have to look stupid? If some right wingers were talking about Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez this way we would find that repugnant.

          No, we can make fun of it if it’s crafted. Those eyebrows aren’t natural, they’re penciled. Face paint is fair game.

            I don’t know, there’s nothing morally wrong with her makeup and face. If she happened to be a leftist but otherwise looked the same, I doubt we’d be rushing to the comments to mock her style. This is alienating to women who are like minded to us but have a similar sense of fashion to Boebert.

            Mocking someones appearance is like dropping a bomb. You might hit your target but this shit has a radius and so you might also hit innocent people.

            People who might be already hurting and are insecure. And hurting those people because you are not clever enough to come up with something precise is weak.

            Hitler’s mustache is now so closely associated with nazis and fascism that we would rightly mock anyone who unironically kept their facial hair that way. Lauren Boebert’s eyebrows don’t feel like they deserve the same treatment, since it is very normal for many women with leftist values to keep up their appearance in a similar way. The eyebrows are not the problem; her beliefs are.

    “… I’m apologizing for you, Kyle Clark, for getting video and releasing that and people seeing it in a very private moment.”

    lmfao… these dipshits always try the uno reverse “no u” response and it literally never works. Reminds me of when MTG told a BBC reporter “you’re a conspiracy theorist”, cursed her out, and then stormed off. Boebert is just the pathetic screeching version of this instead of the roid rage version.

            It’s just always shocking how Repubs feel so comfortable blatantly contradicting documented reality.

            I think its because Repubs believe everyone else contradicts reality, so they’re just doing what everyone else does. They here something that is real, but supports a liberal position. They believe reality is contradicted so they feel no shame in making statements contradictory to reality because they believe its a level playing field. They’re wrong, most of the time, but that doesn’t stop them.

            Because their voters don’t punish them for it.

            Al Franken was run out of the Senate because of the appearance of impropriety in a staged joke photo.

            Republicans lost over 60 court cases about the “rigged” 2020 election, and yet they’re still gonna nominate Trump again. He lied about Hillary, he lied about the wall, he still lies about the economy, but none of that matter because Republicans want it to be true. That’s what you get with the “feelings over facts” party.

    TBF if I were running for a public office that oversees civil rights, infrastructure, military, and a national budget and a debate moderator was asking me questions about a public sex act then I would also be a little peeved.

    That said, taking an unbiased stance with people like her is an impossible task from the very beginning.

      From her very own “Contract with Colorado”:

      Leadership. I am a strong conservative with principles that I will always stand up for. I’ll hold myself accountable and you can, too. I can be reached at Lauren@LaurenforColorado.com.

      If part of your campaign is specifically about being principled and holding yourself accountable, a sex act in a public space is absolutely fair game regardless of the venue in which the question is posed.

    My favorite part was at the end, when he simply ignored her and moved on.

    It’ll be nice when she loses her seat. Some unwatchable “news” network might hire her, but eventually she’ll fade into obscurity, which is where she belongs.

    I guess she doesn’t know what “expected level of privacy” means law yet. She will though if she tries to pursue it. Anything outside of a bathroom or private owned business you can’t sue someone for filming footage as you can’t expect privacy. Or maybe she knows this so caustic words is all she can think to do.

      I wouldn’t imagine even a privately owned business would qualify for privacy. I don’t expect any privacy when I’m walking around in Walmart.

        Ok so for any of you confused about what would be an expected level of privacy while recording people in public with a cel phone:

        The person working the back office of Walmart crunching numbers where customers aren’t allowed has an expected level of privacy.

        The people using the bathroom in Walmart also have expected level of privacy.

        The people in the changing room has an expected level of privacy.

        If you were caught with a cel phone recording in any of these circumstances you could be persecuted for violating privacy.

        If however you’re walking around on the main floor of Walmart recording a person looking at the price on a can of beans, you’re safe from legal prosecution as far as privacy laws (although that isn’t to say you are safe from being charged as a stalker or harassment in a certain context) .

        And legally you could record what cops are doing out in public.

        It’s about public access. If the public is generally allowed in a space, you have no expectation of privacy in that space. Anyone can have an eidetic memory, which is as good as having a camera in their hand. If they can hear it, see it, or reach it from a public space, you can’t consider it secure.
