With her political future now more uncertain than ever, Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) is once again resorting to the kind of behavior that got her negative headlines last September.
According to a report from CNN, Boebert had her mixed drinks cut off at a fundraiser for failed former president Donald Trump just three months later after she became unruly and completely humiliated herself.
“At the December soiree, which was the New York Young Republican Club’s annual gala, multiple witnesses saw a server tell Boebert they would not bring her any more alcohol, with one witness telling CNN the server told the congresswoman they believed she had been overserved. Throughout the night, Boebert also kept attempting to snap selfies with Trump, who was sitting at the same table as her. Eventually, Trump’s security detail stepped in and asked Boebert to stop, according to the witnesses, who attended the event and saw the interaction take place.”
Boebert changed congressional districts in January after it became clear her chances of reelection in her previous district had faded significantly as voters grew sick and tired of her antics, highlighted by her making out with a date during a Colorado theater production of “Beetlejuice.” The congresswoman was forced to leave the musical after she was caught vaping and fondling a man’s crotch in the full view of children who were also in attendance at the theater.
After the incident, Boebert attempted to excuse her actions by issuing a sarcastic statement on Twitter:
Boebert later apologized for her behavior, but tried to blame it on the stress of her divorce.
“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. 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.”
And now we have the boozy Boebert news, which is also unlikely to endear her to voters, CNN notes.
“But as Boebert desperately fights to keep her congressional career alive, the MAGA firebrand will need to dispel concerns about her controversial behavior – and accusations of carpetbagging – as she tries to convince voters in an entirely new district that she is best suited to represent a rural seat in eastern Colorado.”
One thing is absolutely certain: The House of Representatives would be a much saner and smarter place if Lauren Boebert doesn’t manage to win a another term in office.
