Bombastic Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert reportedly gave campaign money to a bar owned by the man with whom she was ejected from a performance of the “Beetlejuice” musical.
The right-wing lawmaker blew $317.48 at Hooch Craft Cocktail Bar in July, according to Politico. That Aspen, Colo., establishment is run by Quinn Gallagher, who became a national figure in September when he and the vaping 36-year-old lawmaker were asked to leave the Buell Theater after they engaged in lurid conduct.
Boebert initially denied she was misbehaving, but security video from inside the theater appeared to show she was smoking from a vape pen and being handsy with Gallagher. She reportedly labeled her spending at Gallagher’s establishment “event catering” on a campaign finance filing.
The MAGA congresswoman became a grandmother in June when her 17-year-old son, whom she left high school to raise, became a dad. Boebert said in May that she and her husband were in the process of getting a divorce. She told TMZ last month that her brief relationship with Gallagher had also come to an end.
Gallagher’s business was swamped with negative comments online after his fling with Boebert. The watering hole’s Yelp page is governed by an “unusual activity” alert that restricts site users from commenting on the establishment.
