In a surprising turn of events, Rep. Lauren Boebert, the Republican congresswoman from Colorado, was reportedly cut off from alcohol at a December fundraiser featuring former President Donald Trump. Witnesses revealed that a server informed Boebert that they would stop serving her any more alcohol, believing she had been "overserved," according to CNN.

The incident occurred as Boebert attended a fundraiser in New York City alongside Trump. Multiple witnesses disclosed that she exhibited inappropriate behavior, including attempting to take pictures with the former president. However, Trump's security detail intervened, urging Boebert to cease her repeated attempts at capturing photographs.

CNN reporter Melania Zanaon discussed the incident, highlighting the sequence of events. "So just to be clear, basically: She went to a fundraiser in New York City with Donald Trump, got so drunk they had to cut her off?" questioned anchor Kasie Hunt. "And then tried to take repeated pictures with Trump, and then they had to tell her, 'Hey lady, tone it down,' according to the witnesses?"

Zanaon confirmed the details, emphasizing that this incident followed another controversy involving Boebert just months earlier. The congresswoman had faced backlash for her conduct at a Denver theater while watching a performance of Beetlejuice. Boebert was removed from the venue for vaping and causing a disturbance, with security footage substantiating the incident.

The series of incidents raises questions about Boebert's suitability for public office, as she faces a challenging election battle after switching districts. Critics argue that her behavior at the fundraiser and the theater demonstrate a lack of decorum and judgment unbecoming of a congressional representative.

Boebert's team has not yet responded to these specific allegations. As this news surfaces, voters will likely scrutinize and evaluate these incidents as they consider their choices in the upcoming election.
