Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) on Sunday blamed her overtly animated personality for the disruptive behavior that saw her booted from a performance of the Beetlejuice musical.

I was a little too eccentric. I am very known for having an animated personality. Maybe overtly animated personality, the far-right congresswoman told One America News Networks Dan Ball.

Me too, responded Ball, who then appeared to wink at the far-right lawmaker.

I was laughing, I was singing, having a fantastic time, was told to kind of settle it down a bit, which I did, Boebert recalled, claiming she was only told off when she began taking photographs inside the auditorium.

Ive done it too. Ive snuck em. Shhhh, replied Ball, who later suggested Boebert was targeted by liberal members of the audience.

Earlier in Boeberts interview with Ball, she tried to spin last weekends removal of her and her date from Denvers Buell Theatre as a nothing-burger, suggesting it was a distraction from House Speaker Kevin McCarthys (R-Calif.) launching of an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden and the possibility of a government shutdown.

It was a stark change in tone to the contrite apology she issued after surveillance video showed shed lied about not vaping at the show, and highlighted the true extent of her conduct.

I genuinely did not recall vaping that evening when I discussed the nights events with my campaign manager, she said at the time. We do understand the nature of how this looks.

It has been edited for brevity.\r\n\r\nAn incident report from the Buell Theater, requested by 9NEWS on Monday night and received on Tuesday, detailed several patron complaints about the behavior of two people sitting in Row E, near the front of the theater. The incident report does not name Boebert, but two city sources confirmed with 9NEWS that Boebert was escorted from the performance over complaints of vaping, taking pictures and causing a disturbance.\r\n\r\nThe incident report details the effort by ushers and supervisors to address the complaints.\r\n\r\nAccording to the report, there were three different complaints about the two people vaping, singing [and] causing a disturbance.\r\n\r\nThe two people are never named in the report.\r\n\r\nThey were told that if there was another issue, they would be asked to leave.\r\n\r\nThe
