Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert was allegedly so drunk at a Republican gala in the Big Apple that she had to be interrupted by bartenders — but witnesses denied the allegation to the Post.
The controversial congresswoman’s apparently drunken behavior at New York’s annual Young Republicans event in December also included her bothering former President Donald Trump for numerous selfies, his security moved in to stop her , CNN reported.
Waiters at the event, held at the Cipriani Ballroom, told Boebert they would not bring him any more alcohol, multiple sources told CNN.
Boebert sat at the gala table and was joined by Steve Bannon, Florida GOP Rep. Corey Mills, club president Gavin Wax and Trump, among others.
Boebert wasn’t cut off from alcohol, insiders told The Post on Saturday — but she had irritated Trump during the event.
“She placed herself between Gavin Wax and President Trump and tried to take selfies with both of them. After taking a few and not being happy with how they looked, she tried to take more selfies, but was rebuffed by President Trump who said, “Enough is enough,” a witness said.
Boebert declined to comment.
In a statement, New York Young Republican Club President Gavin Wax said, “Everyone knows the New York Young Republican Club puts on the best galas.
“If you ask if Congresswoman Boebert had a good time at one of our galas, the answer is ‘I hope so’.”

Boebert’s wild night in New York didn’t end at Cipriani.
Once the festivities were over, the Colorado Republican partied into the wee hours at the Beach Cafe on the Upper East Side with his House colleague, Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.) and disgraced the former GOP Rep. George Santos.
This is far from the congresswoman’s first battle with public controversy.
In September, Boebert was asked to leave a production of “Beetlejuice” at Denver’s Buell Theater after she and her then-boyfriend Quinn Gallagher engaged in excessive public displays of affection.
