"Controversy Surrounds Lauren Boebert's Behavior at GOP Gala"
Rep. Lauren Boebert was reportedly "over-served" alcohol and clashed with event staff at a GOP gala in December, where she was seated at the same table as Donald Trump. Despite the awkward interaction, Trump endorsed Boebert last month, and she is capitalizing on his backing in her reelection campaign. Boebert has been embroiled in political and personal controversies, including disruptive behavior at a Beetlejuice performance and personal issues involving her family. She is seeking to replace a Republican in a new district and is leaning on her record as a conservative congresswoman and the endorsement from Trump to overcome negative headlines.
