Lauren Boebert Spews Word Salad During Chaotic Interview - Farron Balanced [View all]

[TexasTowelie]

During an interview with a conservative Christian outlet this week, Republican Representative Lauren Boebert went into an absolutely unintelligible rant about freedom and Jesus that didn't make any sense at all. Boebert tried to claim that her Christian faith meant that she was "free," and then advocated for taking away actual freedoms granted by the United States Constitution. The rant was even more confusing than just that part, as Farron Cousins explains.

This week Lauren Boebert did an interview with a conservative Christian outlet, uh, on a show called Flashpoint. And on this program, Lauren Boebert started talking about freedom and her freedom to be free because Jesus has set her free through her Christianity to be free. Um, and if you think that my overuse of the word free and freedom there is, uh, weird, then just wait till you hear what Lauren Boebert actually had to say on this program. Now there is a clip of it, but I'm not gonna show you the clip cuz the clip's not as fun as me sitting here getting to read you what she actually said. If you wanna see the clip, it's in the link in the description of the video. But here is this weird rambling word salad that Lauren Boebert threw out during this flashpoint interview. Here is what she said about her freedom to be free because of Jesus.

My number one job is to secure the rights of Americans and make sure that they remain free. That is exactly why I'm here. I love freedom, not because I'm a Republican, not because I'm a conservative. I love freedom because Jesus set me free because I am a Christian. And so I truly know what it means to be free and that's something that I'm here to preserve for generations to come. And I will fight each and every day to do that, to be free, to have the freedom to be free because Jesus freed us through our Christianity, which were free to, free to free to free to free. Um, what can anybody make sense of Anything that I just read you in that Lauren Boebert quote? Do you want me to read it again? I love freedom. Not because I'm a Republican, not because I'm a conservative.

I love freedom because Jesus set me free because I'm a Christian. Jesus set her free because she is a Christian, because freedom and she is free and you're free and she's fighting for your freedom so that you stay free of the freedoms of the, of the freeness, of the freedoms. Now Lauren, let me go ahead and correct you on a couple things here. You are not free because of your faith and Christianity. You might spiritually, if you believe in that sort of thing, be considered free. Although you're actually not free, even if you are a Christian because you're not free. What you are, if you've been baptized according to Christianity, is you're free of original sin, free of original sin, not free of sin, free of original sin. By the way, you are free here in the United States because of our constitution, because of our laws, because of our rules, because of our ethics, not because of anything in the Bible. You are free because we have that constitution and we're supposed to uphold it. Technically, you are supposed to uphold it as part of your oath of office as a member of Congress. Yet here you are vomiting this word salad in this interview trying to

Gain some extra points with the Christian conservatives even though there's literally nothing about your life, that Christian conservatives should approve of. I'm sure they don't approve of what your husband allegedly did in that bowling, uh, bowling alley with those under underage girls. But then she continued because as she's sitting here talking about freedom and how the freedom to be free, she then talks about not wanting the press to be free and basically shutting them down. Here's what she says. It's the American people that can start touching that freedom of the press. It's the American people who can say, I am not listening to you anymore. I'm not turning your channel on, I'm not reading your paper. I'm not subscribing to your subscription. And that is how they will be the most impacted is when it starts hitting their wallets. You want me to read you that first sentence again because I think some people may overlook it.
