Rep. Lauren Boebert’s campaign once spent money at a Colorado bar.The bar is owned by a man who accompanied her to the theater in September. The pair were kicked out after causing a disturbance, according to reports.
GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert spent a couple hundred dollars of campaign funds at a Colorado cocktail bar owned by a man identified as her “Beetlejuice” date.
Per her recent FEC filings, the Boebert campaign spent $317.48 at Hooch Craft Cocktail Bar on July 31. Politico first reported the expenditure.
It is unclear if Boebert herself spent money at the bar or if it was an employee with her campaign.
Other news outlets identified the cocktail bar owner as the man who accompanied Boebert to a Denver theater on September 10. The pair were kicked out during a performance of “Beetlejuice.“
During the performance, patrons of the Buell Theater accused Boebert of “vaping, singing, causing a disturbance,” per an incident report from that night.
The allegations in the report were later confirmed by video and included footage of the representative appearing to be groped in the theater by her date.
The Republican representative later parted ways with her date, citing his Democratic party affiliations.
“Honestly, he’s a private citizen, and we peacefully parted at this time. Great man, great friend, and I wish him all the best,” she told TMZ.
Reps for Boebert did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Insider.
