Howard Stern faced backlash after discussing the behavior of Congresswoman Lauren Boebert, who was recently removed from a musical performance for causing a disturbance.
Stern was called out online for his misogynist statements.
Boebert, who attended the musical Beetlejuice on September 10, was asked to leave after being observed vaping, singing, and taking selfies during the show. Security footage later revealed her engaging in inappropriate behavior with her date. Despite her subsequent apology, Stern did not hold back his criticism, labeling her a “disgrace to this country.”

During a segment on SiriusXM’s The Howard Stern Show, Stern shared his thoughts on the incident when asked by a caller. He emphasized that his criticism was not based on political factors but rather on her behavior.
“Lauren Boebert is a disgrace to this country! Forget the politics. She’s in a t*tty dress. She’s with some dude. Looks like she’s obviously vaping, but also looks like she might be grabbing his penis during Beetlejuice,” Stern remarked.
Co-host Robin Quivers inquired about the nature of the Beetlejuice play, to which Stern humorously responded, “It’s a very erotic play evidently. I remember the movie; there was nothing sexy about it.”
Stern continued to comment on Boebert, suggesting that despite her behavior being “fun,” she was dishonest, particularly in initially denying that she was vaping during the musical.
Expressing his astonishment, Stern questioned the electoral process in Colorado, where Boebert represents a district. He pondered how someone like her could win an election, emphasizing that certain standards should be maintained, especially when elected officials are caught lying.
Stern’s remarks drew both support and criticism, reflecting the divisive nature of political discourse in contemporary media.
