Howard Stern slammed embattled Rep. Lauren Boebert as a “disgrace to this country” in a graphic takedown of the firebrand congresswoman over her steamy “Beetlejuice” date night.

A caller to SiriusXM’s “The Howard Stern Show” asked the shock jock Monday to share his thoughts on the infamous incident that got Boebert (R-Colo.) booted from a Denver theater.

“Lauren Boebert is a disgrace to this country! Forget the politics. She’s in a titty dress. She’s with some dude,” Stern said. “Looks like she’s obviously vaping, but also looks like she might be grabbing his penis during ‘Beetlejuice.’”

Co-host Robin Quivers interjected: “Is ‘Beetlejuice’ a sexy play?”  

“It’s a very erotic play, evidently. I remember the movie — there was nothing sexy about it,” Stern replied.

The 69-year-old broadcaster joked that Boebert was “fun” — but ripped her for being a liar after she initially denied that she vaped during the musical.

“I don’t know what’s going on in Colorado,” he said. “What are they — just got dumb people in Colorado. How do you elect someone like her?

“I mean, how did she win an election? How does a woman like that win an election? You know, there’s certain standards. Once you get caught lying like that, goodbye!” Stern added.

Everything to know about Rep. Lauren Boebert's divorce saga

Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert filed for a divorce from her husband in May, leading the congresswoman to re-enter the dating scene.

In September, Boebert and her date, Aspen bar co-owner Quinn Gallagher, were booted from the family performance of “Beetlejuice” at Denver’s Buell Theater after she blew a plume of vape smoke into the air — but footage also showed the mom of four groping his crotch mid-show.

Following the debacle, the congresswoman blamed her behavior on her “public and difficult divorce” and later announced that “all future date nights have been canceled” between her and the bar owner.

Her now-estranged husband of 18 years, Jayson, took “full responsibility” for “the breakdown of our marriage.”

“I am appreciative to hear of Jayson’s sincere comments. This is a new season for us both grace and prayers for our family are welcomed by all,” the Republican firebrand said to the Daily Beast.

“Howard Stern spends four minutes absolutely destroying Lauren Boebert. Warning: Do not play in front of children,” he wrote on X, formerly called Twitter.

On Monday, Boebert’s estranged husband, Jayson, begged people to give her “a chance” after the episode — and blamed her behavior on his own cheating putting her through a “devastating divorce.”

Boebert and her date, Aspen bar co-owner Quinn Gallagher, were kicked out of the family performance at Denver’s Buell Theater on Sept. 10 after she blew a plume of vape smoke into the air — but footage also showed the mom of four groping his crotch mid-show.

Initially, her rep denied reports that she was ejected for vaping, but the congresswoman later struck a conciliatory tone when video evidence emerged.

“There’s no perfect blueprint for going through a public and difficult divorce, which over the past few months has made for a challenging personal time for me and my entire family,” Boebert wrote on social media.

“I’ve tried to handle it with strength and grace as best I can, but I simply fell short of my values on Sunday. That’s unacceptable and I’m sorry,” she added.

On Monday, Boebert returned to Washington, DC, and told TMZ that “all future date nights have been canceled” between her and Gallagher.
