"CNN This Morning" host Kasie Hunt had her panel laughing on Friday morning after CNN's Melania Zanaon reported that an inebriated Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) had to be cut off by servers at a GOP function where she kept bothering Donald Trump.
As Zanona reported, Boebert was singled out for being "overserved" alcoholic beverages at the event while seated at the same table with the former president and also had to be reined in by his security detail.
"It was a Republican event, Donald Trump was headlining, and the server who was coming to bring alcohol refused to bring her any more alcohol because they thought that she was overserved," Zanona recalled. "She also was trying to take pictures with Donald Trump and eventually Donald Trump's security detail stepped in and asked her to stop doing that, according to those who witnessed it that I spoke to."

"Now, Donald Trump still did endorse her, so clearly he wasn't maybe that bothered by this incident, but a Trump endorsement alone is not going to be enough to put her over the finish line. So she is facing a very tough challenge in that June primary," she added.
"So just to be clear, basically," a smirking Hunt interjected, "She went to a fundraiser in New York City with Donald Trump, got so drunk they had to cut her off? And then tried to take repeated pictures with Trump, and then they had to tell her, 'Hey lady like tone it down,' according to the witnesses?"
As the panelists laughed, Zanona replied, "This is how it went down and I want to remind viewers here that this came a few months after she got in trouble and had to apologize for her conduct at a Denver theater where she was watching a performance, a musical performance of Beetlejuice, she got kicked out for vaping and being loud, and there's security footage of it."
"There was much more than vaping," Hunt added to more laughter.
