A person who was in attendance said:
"It is the most disgusting thing I have ever seen. Even the conservatives [at the party] were in shock. People avoided them."
Photos from the event show Boebert holding a sign that read:
“Mexican Word of the Day: Juicy. Tell me if ‘Juicy’ ICE coming.”

Boebert is unrepentant, and a spokesperson said those who are outraged should spend their time calling for an end to the ongoing government shutdown that Republicans have refused to negotiate on:
“It’s a Halloween costume. Tell our Senators to vote for the CR and open the government. They are choosing to let millions of American families suffer.”
Boebert is facing heated criticism, with many calling out the cruel and racist nature of her costume.
This isn't the first time Boebert has faced criticism for her decisions over the holidays.
Several years ago, she responded to a photo posted by her Kentucky Republican colleague Thomas Massie, who angered many when he tweeted a family photo in which he and six family members each brandished a military-style weapon in front of a Christmas tree, with a picture of her four equally armed children.
"The Boeberts have your six," Boebert tweeted to Massie, using a military saying that means, "I've got your back" even though neither politician has military experience.
Both tweets came just days after a mass shooting occurred at Oxford High School in Oxford Township, Michigan. At the time, James and Jennifer Crumbley, the parents of the perpetrator, were arrested following an intense manhunt and charged with four counts each of involuntary manslaughter.
The Crumbleys had purchased the handgun used in the shooting as a Christmas gift for their son on Black Friday and stored it improperly. Boebert was accused of making light of the shooting.
"Christianity is facing an existential threat in Nigeria. Thousands of Christians are being killed. Radical Islamists are responsible for this mass slaughter. I am hereby making Nigeria a 'COUNTRY OF PARTICULAR CONCERN' — But that is the least of it."
"When Christians, or any such group, is slaughtered like is happening in Nigeria (3,100 versus 4,476 Worldwide), something must be done! I am asking Congressman Riley Moore, together with Chairman Tom Cole and the House Appropriations Committee, to immediately look into this matter, and report back to me."
"The in Nigeria, and numerous other Countries. We stand ready, willing, and able to save our Great Christian population around the World!"
But the United States has stood by "while such atrocities are happening" to "any such group." Trump's latest rage bait post for his MAGA minions is similar to his posts about an alleged "white genocide" in South Africa, designed to appeal to Christian nationalists, just as his South Africa posts were for his white supremacist MAGA members.
The White House shared Trump's post on X, sharing the most easily disproven portion.
On November 1, Trump followed up with a second threat.
In response to Trump, rapper Nicki Minaj shared his first Truth Social threat with the caption:
"Reading this made me feel a deep sense of gratitude. We live in a country where we can freely worship God."
"No group should ever be persecuted for practicing their religion. We don’t have to share the same beliefs in order for us to respect each other."
"Numerous countries all around the world are being affected by this horror & it’s dangerous to pretend we don’t notice."
"Thank you to The President & his team for taking this seriously."
"God bless every persecuted Christian."
"Let’s remember to lift them up in prayer."
The MAGAsphere embraced Minaj in the same way they did Ye, Scott Baio, and Dean Cain—while telling progressive celebrities to "shut up" or to stay in their lane.
But Minaj drew considerable backlash even on Elon Musk's X, which skews right like the platform's owner.

Minaj later responded to a few tweets calling her out for selectively backing President Trump as he continues to attack marginalized communities, saying in one tweet:
"Imagine hearing that Christians are being persecuted & not being able to have empathy for THEM b/c you are blinded by your own personal obsession with Trump."
"This says more about you than him, my darling. Blocked for being asleep. Naija to the world."
@NICKIMINAJ/X
And in another tweet she responded:
"Imagine hearing that Christians are being MURDERED & making it about you being gay."
"When my home was swatted multiple times with my innocent toddler inside (with maybe 20 officers with guns drawn pointed at our home due to political corruption), you being gay couldn't save me."
"Expecting someone to stay oppressed, abused, targeted, harassed & CONSISTENTLY ignored by public figures who were supposed to be helping them says more about you than it does anyone else."
"I'll advocate for you the same way that I'm advocating for MURDERED CHRISTIANS IN NIGERIA. Like I always have. Just remember that."
"Diligently. Compassionately. Just remember that part, too!!! lol & I know you're not a 'die hard fan.' Lemme think about if I wanna block you for the next 10-15 mins. Love you."

Fans weren't happy with her defense, and called her out for missing the point.
Trump's post amplified an issue Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz embraced to show his Christian nationalist bona fides, choosing a single issue of alleged persecution and genocide in an African nation while ignoring others throughout the globe.
In September, Cruz introduced the Nigeria Religious Freedom Accountability Act of 2025 to Congress, citing Christians in the sovereign African nation in conflict with the nation's Muslims. In truth, the matter of religions imposed on the African continent by colonizers and missionaries trading basic needs for adoption of their religion is far more complicated than Cruz understands or represents in his legislation.
Despite not being asked for assistance by the Nigerian government, Cruz claims the United States has an obligation to impose their will to protect Christians—only Christians—in Nigeria, seizing on the opportunity to appeal to Evangelical Christians whose churches have a long history of imposing themselves, uninvited, on Indigenous peoples with their own religions around the world, trading access to water, food, and education for conversion to their religion.
But while her dad is out there dismantling the website formerly known as Twitter with bigotry and misinformation, Vivian is busy building something better: a platform rooted in humor, self-expression, and absolutely no tolerance for hate.
When a troll commented under one of her TikToks asking to hear her “real voice,” the 21-year-old transgender model and social media personality didn’t just clap back—she delivered a masterclass in deadpan comedy.
In the video, she fired back:
“Honestly, sure, why not? You brought this cringe upon yourself though. I’m f***ng bored.”
In the October 27 video, Vivian or @vivllainous—sporting a green hoodie and a cascade of blonde hair—turned to the camera, tagged her 1.7 million followers, and dropped her “real voice” to imitate rapper Felix’s deep verse from Stray Kids’ "God’s Menu."
You can watch the video below:
Vivian kept a perfectly straight face through the whole thing, though her followers didn’t. The comments section immediately filled with crying-laughing emojis and praise for her spot-on impression.
She admitted later:
“[I] was trying so hard not to burst out laughing pls💀”
It’s not the first time Vivian has turned mockery into art. In a past Teen Vogue interview, she explained how her sharp humor evolved from surviving the internet’s rougher corners.
Vivian revealed:
“I have a sharp tongue. When you spend all of COVID [lockdown] in online communities of queer people who are constantly getting into drama and trying to read each other, [you] learn how to make a response very quickly, and you learn how to be funny and snap at someone else in a comedic way.”
You can watch her full interview here:

Vivian’s wit was on full display again during her New York Fashion Week debut this year at Alexis Bittar’s “Miss USA 1991” show, where each model represented a U.S. state pushing anti-trans legislation.
Wearing a shimmering red gown and a “Miss South Carolina” sash, she couldn’t resist making a statement:
“There’s this widespread misinformation and demonisation where, especially right now, they’re painting us all as violent mass shooters. I’m not going to shoot anyone, I’m a model. I don’t even know how to hold a gun. What do you think I’m going to do, beat someone up with my arms?”
Vivian’s comment section, as expected, ate it up:

Behind the humor lies resilience far beyond her years. Vivian, who came out as transgender at 16, has been candid about her strained relationship with her father. When Elon Musk claimed in a Daily Wire interview that his daughter had been “killed by the woke mind virus,” she didn’t hesitate to respond.
Vivian clapped back:
“He was not by any means tricked. He knew the full side effects.”
While Musk has spent the last few years using his platforms to mock pronouns and push anti-trans rhetoric, Vivian has done the opposite—using hers to uplift queer voices and turn ridicule into resistance. In a family feud that’s gone global, she’s proving that pride speaks louder than privilege.
And when asked later about their estrangement, she didn’t sugarcoat her feelings:
“He’s a pathetic man-child. Why should I be scared of this man? Because he’s rich? I don’t give a f**k how much money anyone has.”
Vivian Wilson doesn’t just survive the internet—she thrives on it. With one sarcastic K-pop verse and a perfectly timed smirk, she reminded everyone that her “real voice” is loud, proud, and entirely her own. Ya hear that, trolls? Come for Vivian, and you’ll leave overcooked, underseasoned, and frankly, embarrassed.
