Now this one This is reported by the New York PostAccording to Federal Election Commission records, the Republican spent hundreds of his campaign funds on alcohol during his re-election campaign at the Hooch Craft Cocktail Bar in Aspen, Colorado.
The bar’s partner is Quinn Gallagher, a Democrat who Boebert briefly dated.
In September, the two were caught making out at a stage performance of “Beetlejuice” in Denver. Other viewers complained that they saw Boebert allegedly caressing her date’s groin, while Gallagher was reportedly seen suppressing a feeling.
Boebert, 36, also came under fire for smoking e-cigarettes during the family-friendly performance. The couple split after the furore in which the “eccentric” politician claimed her boyfriend’s Democratic ties were a breach of contract.

In total, Team Boebert spent more than $400 at the bar for the late July event.
“All future dates have been canceled and I’ve learned to check party affiliation before going on a date,” Boebert told TMZ shortly after Gropegate surfaced.
The politician filed for divorce from her husband Jayson in April. The couple has four children and a month before their split it emerged that their 17-year-old son Tyler had impregnated a young girl.
Boebert apologized for Gropegate.
“I was a little too eccentric. I am very well known for my lively personality. Maybe an overly lively personality,” the Hellraiser told One America News Network last month.
Boebert could be fighting for her political life as she prepares for a rematch with Democratic opponent Adam Frisch. And fundraising looks threatening for the armed cowgirl.
According to the FEC, Boebert generated $853 million in the third quarter (July to September) and had cash on hand of $1.4 million.
During the same period, Frisch earned $3.4 million – more than a million dollars more than the sensitive Boebert. Frisch lost to Boebert by only 546 votes.
