Boebert proudly shared the selfie on her X account, accompanied by a caption that declared: "Just three individuals who recognize there are only two genders." This comment was a playful reference to Chappelle's candid stand-up remarks about the transgender community.

From Breitbart:
“Ran into @DaveChappelle,” Luna also quickly tweeted, sharing the same photo as Boebert.
“Thanks for all you do,” the Florida Republican told the comedian during the friendly encounter.
Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) was also filmed greeting Chappelle and exchanging banter with the visiting comedian.
He was reportedly at the Capitol for a meeting with the Congressional Black Caucus, according to Punchbowl News.
Chappelle, a Washington, DC, native, offered a different explanation for his surprise appearance, when asked by a reporter.
“A lot of the people I grew up with work on the hill, so I hang out here sometimes when I’m in DC, to catch up with old friends,” he said.
You can bet Boebert's tweet is bound to rile up the LGBTQ community, who've been vocal in opposing Chappelle for what they label as "transphobic" remarks.
