Why isn’t it about hypocrisy, though? ISTM that someone who scolds her political opponents about “needing Jesus” and “family values” blather while concealing her own history of sex work, and who campaigns for banning abortion while concealing her own abortions, is being flagrantly hypocritical.

[I have already remarked](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/a-perfectly-reasonable-amount-of-schadenfreude-about-things-happening-to-trump-his-enablers/925537/5626) that I don’t particularly care whether the allegations against Boebert are true or not, nor do I think that she has enough in the way of good name or integrity to be significantly damaged even if they’re true to the fullest possible extent.

But AFAICT, if the allegations are true then the hypocrisy charge is entirely valid.
