Staffers Denied Entry to George Santos’ Xmas Party

Colorado congresswoman Lauren Boebert was looking to have a fun night out with her staff at George Santos‘ holiday party in D.C. … but the vibe shifted quickly when her aides got bounced at the door.
Check out the vid … Boebert and her crew pulled up to the swanky soirée — dubbed “Santos Claus” — on Tuesday night, and she seems shocked when several of her staffers were blocked from entering.
Boebert tries working her charm on the gatekeeper — Vish Burra — while the staffers are seen awkwardly hovering behind her.
We spoke to Vish — a former Santos staffer — who tells us Boebert and one of her staffers were on the list … but the rest simply didn’t make the cut.
He says George — the former New York representative who was convicted of identity theft and fraud, sent to prison, then pardoned by President Trump — was adamant he wanted everyone he had picked to be at the party … and if you weren’t chosen, well, nothing personal.
About 100 people packed the shindig — including Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Anna Delvey, Martin Shkreli, former ‘RHONY’ star Leah McSweeney and more.
Boebert wasn’t the only one dealing with door drama — we’re told Florida Rep. Anna Paulina Luna also had a few staffers who couldn’t get past security.

As for what it was like inside … Tennessee Rep. Tim Burchett gave us the full rundown on the scene.
Bottom line … there’s a rite of passage on the Hill, and sometimes staffers just gotta wait their turn.
