Ms Boebert’s team initially claimed heavy fog machines and electronic cigarettes were used during the play, which led to a “misunderstanding” that the controversial politician was using an electronic cigarette. The woman, who described Ms Boebert’s behaviour as “outrageous”, also alleged the congresswoman called her a “sad and miserable person” after she asked to move seats during the intermission.
