Raw Story: Lauren Boebert raises false alarm over 'a guy' in Capitol Hill women's room: report [View all]
Raw Story - Lauren Boebert raises false alarm over 'a guy' in Capitol Hill women's room: report

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) reportedly summoned law enforcement on Thursday over "a guy" who entered a women's restroom in the Capitol — that turned out to be a false alarm.
According to Bloomberg News congressional reporter Billy House, "Rep. Lauren Boebert bursting out of the House Women's restroom during this afternoon's vote series, complaining to security personnel stationed in the nearby Speakers Lobby of 'a guy' inside the bathroom."
House monitored who exited the bathroom after the spectacle, but all appeared to be women.
"Within minutes, however, Boebert was storming back from the House floor into the restroom, — reinforced by Rep. Nancy Mace in tow," House noted.
Mace (R-SC), who has been described by former staffers as a pathological attention-seeker, has in recent months positioned herself as the foremost member of Congress standing opposed to any accommodation or recognition for transgender people on Capitol Hill — despite just a year prior describing herself as "pro-transgender rights."
