George Santos is making so much dough on Cameo, he picked up the tab for his political pals on Saturday night.
The ousted pol was hanging with “ball of energy” Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.), and they were like “two peas in a pod” at the late-night party, we hear.
A source saw Santos — the New York Republican who was expelled from Congress this week after a scathing ethics report said he “blatantly stole” campaign funds and used them for OnlyFans and Botox — at the popular Beach Café on the Upper East Side.
Also at the bash were controversial pol Boebert and Rep. Byron Donalds (F-Fla.), who had opposed Santos’ expulsion.
The trio was attending an after-afterparty following an event sponsored by the New York Young Republican Club, where Donald Trump had addressed a raucous crowd.
But Santos is now raking in enough moolah after his ouster to treat his pals at the party. A source said he bought pizza for the entire restaurant during the late-night bash, though Santos subsequently told Page Six he only got two pies for friends, and shared the rest.
An insider said of Santos, “He is making big bucks on Cameo,” making personalized videos for about $600 a pop.
The source said Santos was telling guests at the party Saturday night that “he took 140 orders yesterday at $599 per order” for the Cameo fan videos.
That’s $83,860 in just a day.
Then again, our source said, “Now, it’s George telling people this, so…”
The Long Island Republican had of course famously fudged his educational and professional credentials.
The source said of Santos at the bash that went ’til the wee hours, “He did pick up the check and bought pizza for everyone in the joint!”
Apparently the group rolled in late, so the Beach Café kitchen was closed, and “George ordered in from his favorite pizza place around the corner, who delivered the pies,” said a source.
Also at the eatery, we hear that Boebert “was a ball of energy” and “loves the New York vibe,” a witness said.
“She was having a blast hanging with her bestie … she and George are like two peas in a pod.”
The party went ’til the sun came up, we hear. Owner Dave Goodside’s popular restaurant is known as a powerhouse political hangout.
The scene was “Mostly a lot of laughs with people taking kind-hearted shots at each other” after the earlier political event in Midtown.
But Santos denied to Page Six that he picked up the tab for the entire eatery.
Santos commented: “I did not buy pizza for 35 people … it’s not true, it’s a lie. I ordered two $20 pies … for me and my friends.”
He said that after he and his pals had their share, he “left it on the table” for others to enjoy.
Santos told us he did not attend the earlier gala, as he usually does, in part because he was busy making Cameo videos.
“I’d been working,” he said. “I electively chose not to go [to the gala] this year … I need to make a living because I have a family to support and feed.”
He added, “I chose to take [the gala] off so I can go take care of that, and went to Beach after … I want the record to reflect that I did not buy pizza for 35, and that I did not pick up anybody’s bar tab. I was there with four friends.”
Boebert is controversial herself after she was infamously booted after vaping on a handsy date during a Denver showing of “Beetlejuice” and causing a disruption in the audience.
Her re-election campaign was later also accused of spending hundreds for an event at a bar co-owned by the man she was seen fondling during the Denver performance.
Her campaign did not comment to The Post about the allegations.
Santos also told CBS New York that he’s making more via the Cameo videos than he ever did in politics.
“I can tell you that by the end of this week, that is actually factual. I will have made more money in seven days than I would’ve made in an entire year in Congress,” Santos said on Dec. 8.
Santos had previously said of his expulsion, “[I]f I leave, they win … If I leave, the bullies take place — this is bullying.”
