Boebert Falsely Accuses Trans Lawmaker of Bathroom Intrusion
Representative Lauren Boebert mistakenly confronted an individual in a women’s restroom, believing them to be a man violating a recently implemented policy restricting transgender individuals’ restroom access. She involved Representative Nancy Mace, the policy’s author, in the confrontation before realizing her error. Boebert subsequently falsely accused Representative Sarah McBride of being the individual in question. Following the incident, Boebert apologized, while a spokesperson for McBride criticized the lawmakers’ actions.
