Mark Hamill Trolls Lauren Boebert With Epic Reminder Of Her 'Beetlejuice' Antics

The 'Star Wars' star shared a video of Boebert's Democratic challenger John Padora sitting in the exact seat she was caught vaping and groping in—and he had a special 'win-win' message for the MAGA Rep.

Fans are applauding Star Wars icon Mark Hamill for the way he skillfully trolled Lauren Boebert.

Boebert is currently seeking the Republican nomination for Colorado's 4th district—the one she moved to when it became clear she could not win reelection in her original district, Colorado-03.


Hamill presented Boebert with a "win-win" solution in a tweet that hilariously referenced her Beetlejuice groping debacle—which she should never live down.

Hamill's tweet read:

"Hey Colorado- Please vote for John Padora."
"Not only is he the far superior candidate, but it will give his opponent plenty of free time to catch the ending of the #BeetlejuiceMusical she missed the first time. #WinWin"

Hamill's sick burn included a tweet that featured a TikTok video posted by CO-04 Democratic contender John Padora shot from the very seats where Boebert was caught on surveillance footage getting graphically handsy with her date Quinn Gallagher during a Denver performance of Beetlejuice back in 2023.

In the video, one of a handful Padora filmed in Boebert's legendary Beetlejuice seat, Padora called out Boebert for her district switch, which occurred after Boebert won reelection in Colorado-03 against Democrat Adam Frisch by just 0.16 of a percentage point—or 547 votes—in 2022.

After that unexpectedly close call, rather than be shellacked by what would have been a likely win by Frisch this November, Boebert opted to move from Colorado-03, the western portion of the state that borders Utah, to the heavily Republican Colorado-04 on the literal opposite side of the state, on its border with Kansas.

Given the absurdity of the switch, Padora called Boebert what she is—an "opportunistic carpetbagger" grasping at straws to remain in power. Boebert is currently the Republican front-runner in the state's upcoming congressional primary, with 40% of those polled saying they plan to vote for her. But 40% also remain undecided.

On social media, people loved Hamill's shady takedown of Boebert—including John Padora himself.

And there was no shortage of mockery of Boebert in response.









As for the general election, it's not looking great for Boebert—a recent poll shows her poised to lose and lose big to Democrat Ike McCorkle should he win the Democratic nomination against Padora.

It's too early to know what will happen, of course. But it's delightful just to see Boebert struggle this much, and for her hypocritical Beetlejuice antics to continue following her everywhere she goes.

Colorado's congressional primary election is taking place Tuesday, June 25.

James Talarico Epically Blasts Trump And Senate Opponent Over What It Means To Be A 'Real Man'

Texas Senate candidate James Talarico criticized his opponent in November's election, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, as well as President Donald Trump in a speech about what it means to be a "real man" after facing regular attacks on his masculinity.

Trump has described Talarico as “a weird—a weird—candidate,” a line that was quickly incorporated into an advertisement from Paxton, who argued that that Talarico is unfit to represent Texans partly because of his supposed veganism. Members of the right-wing have followed suit and described Talarico as an “effeminate, estrogenetic, catty, and totally embarrassing” candidate.

Jennifer Aniston And Lisa Kudrow's Idea For A 'Friends' Spinoff Is Going Viral For All The Wrong Reasons

For decades, critics have argued that Friends benefited from a television landscape that often overlooked Black-led sitcoms telling similar stories. So when Jennifer Aniston and Lisa Kudrow recently floated the idea of a Friends spinoff called Girlfriends, many viewers saw it as yet another example of Black television history being left out of the conversation.

During Variety's Actors on Actors, Aniston and Kudrow discussed what a potential Friends revival could look like more than 20 years after the sitcom ended its original run.
