U.S. House Rep. Lauren Boebert, a Republican serving Colorado's 3rd Congressional District, was mocked on Friday after a CNN report stating she was "overserved" at a GOP event in December 2023.

Melanie Zanona, a CNN Capitol Hill reporter who published an article on Friday about Boebert's reported antics at the December event, told CNN This Morning's Kasie Hunt that the congresswoman was told by staff that they would not bring her any more alcoholic beverages because she had been "overserved" at the Republican gala in New York City, which was headlined by former President Donald Trump late last year.

Boebert, who is running for Colorado's 4th Congressional District in 2024, is no stranger to controversy. In September 2023, the outspoken GOP lawmaker was ejected from the Buell Theater in Denver during a performance of Beetlejuice The Musical. The congresswoman was caught on surveillance video vaping and showing public displays of affection with her date for the show.

Newsweek reached out to Boebert's office and campaign via email for comment. Zanona also reported that Trump's security people had to ask the congresswoman to stop trying to pose for pictures with the former president at the December event.

1. Evidently her mommy didn't teach her to hold a glass like a big girl. :) n/t

[mwb970]

2. What a sleaze.

[Comfortably_Numb]

3. The chef's kiss on this story would be something hand job while drunk, again...

[Marcuse]

19. Well, according to the article Boebert was aggressively trying to get to Donald.

[Comfortably_Numb]

20. Donnie mcShroom dick would be perfect for her.

[OAITW r.2.0]

4. "Hammered" is my goto drunk word.

Overserved and under IQ.

[Warpy]

5. I've got some sympathy for her over this one

because the only way I could tolerate a huge room full of Republicans is hammered.

I can't drink, therefore I'm a Demorat. Or something.

[Blue Owl]

6. Was she double-fisting?

[rubbersole]

7. She is kneady.

[dchill]

10. ...and stereophonically siliconic.

[rubbersole]

12. Bigly.

And has a combination lock in front. At least that was what her 'Beetlejuice' date kept turning.

[LudwigPastorius]

13. Double fisting?

[Demobrat]

8. If it wasn't for low class

she would have no class at all.

[dchill]

9. An ELEGANT defense of the Boeb...

"Her allies defend her by saying she wasn't drunk, she only seems drunk all the time because of how loud and obnoxious she is..."

[SouthernDem4ever]

14. Dump always sounds drunk when he speaks. It might be repuglican syndrome.

[IronLionZion]

11. Stay classy

[Journeyman]

15. I like the euphemism: "over served." Makes it sound like it's someone else's mistake . . .

[Haggard Celine]

16. That's what I think, too.

It's not Boobert's fault for losing control of herself, it's the bartender's fault for pouring drinks down her throat. It's like how some people who have a car crash while drunk try to make it the server's fault. They'll sue the bar or the casino or whatever.

[happybird]

29. Yep.

It can sometimes be difficult for a bartender or server to tell who has had too much. You have no idea how much that person already had to drink before arriving at your bar. Some people seem fine, then all of the sudden they hit their magical number of drinks and are completely, utterly, wasted. Plus, cutting people off can be scary, some can get violent. Most get mouthy and nasty, but it’s the ones who get violent that are scary, especially if you have no bouncer (though tough regulars are awesome and will help!)

[OldBaldy1701E]

25. The word use from some of these media people is insidious.

They are very good at making sure to word something so that it creates the effect they want. One of my main peeves about them is when they report on someone who is in their teens doing something, or having something done to them. They always make sure to word things to benefit their report. If the person is someone that they want the readers to have sympathy for, they refer to the person as 'the teen', or as 'the minor'. If it is someone that they wish to be perceived as a 'villain' or that they don't want to get any sympathetic responses, they refer to them as 'the young man' or 'the young adult'. It is all designed to make sure that you look at the person in question the way they want you to. It is simple manipulation. It is a device that should not work, but here we are...

[Kennah]

17. I presumed too much popcorn

[MontanaMama]

18. Overseeved means she's not responsible for anything,

As usual.

[moniss]

21. I wonder how often

"Mommy" "over serves" herself at home?

[NBachers]

22. Be proud, Colorado, be proud and be loud

[Paladin]

23. Somebody find her an Overserved Anonymous meeting. (nt)

[Vinca]

24. Is "overserved" the PC term for "slobbering drunk?"

[underpants]

26. Damn I'll bet someone had a good night that night

As a friend once said to me as we were talking about what to do that night, “same thing we always do, look for Birkenstocks and low self esteem”

[mercuryblues]

27. The fact that this is coming to light now

makes me think, someone doesn't want her anywhere near the winner's circle.

Newsweek? Where republicans go to rat out each other.

[Shermann]

28. In fairness I would probably end up overserved as well if I had to attend that GOP event. nt
