Lauren Boebert Tells Steve Bannon About The Need For Morals In Jaw-Dropping Chat

The far-right lawmaker and ex-Trump adviser had a conversation about the Ten Commandments that had critics pointing out the irony and hypocrisy. Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) pontificated to ex-Trump adviser Steve Bannon about the need for morals on his War Room podcast Thursday.

The two were discussing Louisiana’s controversial mandate that public school classrooms display the Ten Commandments. Republican Gov. Jeff Landry signed the legislation into law on Wednesday. Boebert praised “great friend” Landry and was all-in.

“This is something we need all throughout our nation ... because we need morals back in our nation, back in our schools,” she said in a clip surfaced by MeidasTouch Network. “If there’s anything we are going to present in front of our children, it’s going to be, it should be, the word of God. Because this is the one truth that is never going to change and never going to leave them. It’s not some woke fad of the day that you can get cancelled for believing in 10 years from now.”

And if there is anything that will rile up people on X, the former Twitter, it’s people living in glass houses who throw stones. Boebert was infamously tossed from a staging of “Beetlejuice” after vaping, talking and groping her date during the performance. She and her campaign falsely denied her disruptive behavior before video emerged and she apologized.

1. She was misunderstood. She was speaking of her own need to adopt some standard of public morality ...

... those two opining on any need of public morality is like John Dillinger and Willie Moran decrying the abysmal lack of bank vault security.

12. Boebert repeatedly contacted the bishop about this. When she got ahold of him, she found he was an upstanding guy.

Morals, woke, God, guns, abortion, cancel culture, freedom, immigrants, now the ten commandments...it's all just a witches' brew of focus-tested RW bullshit concocted to rile up the rubes.
