Kendra Matic told TMZ the MAGA Rep. was lying about how long she'd been seeing Quinn Gallagher, who co-owns the Hooch Craft Cocktail Bar in Aspen, Colorado.

A drag queen has contradicted the claims of Colorado Republican Representative Lauren Boebert, saying she's been lying about how long she'd been seeing Quinn Gallagher, who co-owns the Hooch Craft Cocktail Bar in Aspen, Colorado.

The performer's remarks shed further light on Boebert's relationship with Gallagher, who was ejected with her from a performance of Beetlejuice due to disruptive behavior at a Denver theater.


Boebert has continued to weather criticism about her "outrageous behavior" and those who attended the performance confirmed she was vaping and taking photos during the show.

Additionally, Boebert is facing accusations that she was getting rather hot and heavy with her date that night—and surveillance footage shows Boebert and Gallagher fondling each other in the middle of a performance where children were present.

Speaking to TMZ, drag queen Kendra Matic—who headlined a drag burlesque show at Gallagher's establishment—said the two had been dating for "months."

She said:

“First date and somebody’s touching your boobies like that? I know they were dating for a while, months.”

You can hear what she said in the video below.

Kendra Matic called Gallagher an "amazing guy" but said she otherwise would not have cared about his relationship with Boebert had she not done more research into Boebert's history of attacking the LGBTQ+ community:

"Of course I don't like this relationship because I don't like this girl. I don't understand why she has that hate speech all the time... because we [the LGBTQ+ community] don't do anything wrong. I don't harm anyone."

Indeed, Boebert has long courted controversy for her vocal opposition to various LGBTQ+ events and causes—so it raised eyebrows when news outlets reported that Gallagher's establishment is known for hosting LGBTQ+ events, including a women's party for Aspen Gay Ski Week and a drag performance called "A Winter Wonderland Burlesque & Drag Show."

A source close to Gallagher's family toldThe Daily Mail this week that the news he had gone out with Boebert was “very surprising" because Gallagher's parents—staunch Democrats themselves—"would be horrified because they are definitely blue."

Boebert has been called out both for lying and hypocrisy.




Boebert's camp initially acknowledged that she was taking photos during the performance but disputed reports that she was vaping; a campaign statement did not address her groping behavior.

Theater officials confirmed that two patrons, including Boebert, were escorted out of the show after talking loudly, vaping, and using cameras during the performance. They had been warned about their behavior during intermission, when a pregnant audience member who was sitting behind them complained, but continued to disrupt the show in the second act, leading to their removal.

Boebert initially attributed the incident to her "overtly animated personality" and later admitted to vaping during the show. However, she claimed she "genuinely did not recall" doing so.

She told reporters she has "peacefully parted" ways with Gallagher, saying that "All future date nights have been canceled and I learned to check party affiliations before you go on a date."

State Department Slammed After Requiring Visa Applicants To Make All Social Media Posts Public For Vetting

The State Department is facing harsh criticism after it announced that anyone applying for an F, M, or J nonimmigrant visa will need to disclose all social media profiles from the last five years, requiring that all applicants set their posts to public so they can be properly vetted by its agents.

The agency said the new rules are part of a new screening process aimed at identifying individuals who may pose a threat to U.S. national security. According to the department, failure to comply could result in a denial, and consular officers have been instructed to flag signs of “hostility” toward the U.S.—though the criteria for such determinations remain vague.

Niecy Nash Hilariously Rips Colman Domingo For Over-The-Top Outfit He Wore To Officiate Her Wedding

A time-honored tradition of the North American wedding aesthetic is that the bride is the focal point of the wedding. Wearing all white and dazzling, she's meant to stand out from the rest of the crowd.

But if the wedding officiant shows up looking like a "beautiful bumblebee" fashionista, who do you think the audience will focus on? The officiant or the bride?
