    A report from the staff of Denver Arts & Venues says three people complained at intermission and included this tidbit about what Boebert said as she left the building: “stuff like ‘do you know who I am,’ ‘I am on the board’ (and) ‘I will be contacting the mayor.’ ”

    Boebert is not on the board of Denver’s Center for the Performing Arts.

    Boebert is the queen of the Karens.

        It’s too bad another, less common label didn’t come into common usage. I’ve known a number of Karens (and a couple of Chads) that were just people.

          The majority of all names are good people, but if there is one name that has a higher percentage of assholes than others it is probably Karen

            Totally unscientific, but I work in 911 dispatch and I’d say that off the top of my head probably the most common name I get for Karen-type calls is probably Carol, the male equivalent in probably Alan

              Solid boomer names. I’d say Karen’s are more gen-x names. Like I’d think it was a popular baby name in the 60s through 80s.

        Given how naming entitled women Karen is an insult to women actually named Karen, I propose we replace “Karen” with Boebert.

        For example: “She asked to see the manager because I wouldn’t honor this expired $1 off coupon for our competitor. Then she said ‘do you know who I am?!!!’ She’s such a Boebert.”
