Rep. Lauren Boebert joked that Jesus didn't have enough AR-15s to save his life

[iemanja]

Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado referenced the death of Jesus Christ in a joke about gun rights on Saturday, hinting that Christ may have prevented his crucifixion if he owned assault-style weapons.

At a Christian event run by the Charis Christian Center, Boebert said that "little Twitter trolls" often challenge her pro-gun rights stance by asking if Jesus needed an AR-15.

"They like to say: 'Oh, Jesus didn't need an AR-15. How many AR-15s do you think Jesus woulda had?'" she said. "Well, he didn't have enough to keep his government from killing him." . . .

At the same conference, Boebert also made a controversial comment about President Joe Biden, saying that she prays that "his days be few and another take his office."

I'm not shedding a tear because rumors about her having two abortions are circulating. I don't know if it's true or not, and I don't care. What I care about is that she's a RW asshole with the kind of beliefs that couldn't have even been dreamed up as satire ten years ago.

[LenaBaby61]

1. I was on twitter a while ago ....

And yes, what this right-winged group seems to have on her is explosive. This group, The Muckrackers PAC is the same group that took Cawthorne down.

Their claims also involve Ted Cruz & Boebert and lots of money he gave to her, and he barely knew her. These folks have the receipts. They're not just spreading rumors, but they have the receipts, pictures etc., and if all this is true OMG. She calls women baby-killers and baby murderers. Like she can talk?

I hope she is exposed for the rotten filth she is, and her husband is a pedophile and she actually said that the young girl he exposed himself to was at fault.

[Skittles]

2. yes

ignore the "slut shaming" accusations - the real problem with repukes is their utter galling HYPOCRISY

[IngridsLittleAngel]

3. I imagine few, if any here, are slut shaming...

Hypocrite shaming, though? Absolutely. She is being hypocrite shamed, and has absolutely earned that.

[Skittles]

6. correct

but I've already seen more than one slut shaming accusation here....they just do not get it

[IngridsLittleAngel]

8. I've seen it too

They don't understand that we don't appreciate her preaching at us when she's done what she's done. They don't understand that is looks real bad to oppose abortion rights when she's had two.

She's free to live her own life and do whatever - so long as it doesn't hurt others. But it becomes a problem when she doesn't think we deserve that same freedom.

[Skittles]

11. hear, hear

[LenaBaby61]

15. THANK YOU!

On top of that Boebert voted against the child tax credits. I mean God people are missing WHOLE forests for the trees in this. People like Boebert, and White, christofascists, reich-winged males like Santorum whose against abortion and thinks crap like this:

Rick Santorum thinks pregnancy through rape is God's gift? Seriously?


https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/belief/2012/jan/25/rick-santorum-rape-pregnancy

These hypocrites don't want to take care of the children already HERE.


Child Tax Credit Payouts Biggest in GOP States, Despite No Republicans Voting for Bill.

https://www.newsweek.com/child-tax-credit-payouts-biggest-gop-states-despite-no-republicans-voting-bill-1629809

[IngridsLittleAngel]

16. I don't think most of them care about kids at all

They sure act like they don't. They do nothing to take care of children. They derail efforts to help them like the bill to address the baby formula shortage. They do nothing to protect schools from mass shootings. They vote against child tax credits.

Ohhh, they talk a great game about "protecting children" - when it comes to trying to ban abortion, or bullying LGBTQ's to "protect children!" But when it comes to really doing something to help them? Crickets...

Santorum and so many of the lunatics spew the nonsense about pregnancies caused by rape to be a "blessing" and a "gift." No. They aren't. Not in the least. Sexual assault is never a gift. But, well, they care about women about as much as they care about children... which is basically not caring at all.

[dalton99a]

28. +1. "Abortion is a grave evil":

[IngridsLittleAngel]

45. Not surprisingly, sadly

I'd wager an awful lot of quatloos that 40-50% of the QOP have either had abortions, or arranged for someone (wife? mistress? daughter?) to have an abortion... All while screaming "Abortion is evil!" and "Killing unborn babies!" at the rest of us.

If they managed to destroy abortion rights in all 50 states, they'd still use their money and power to get abortions when needed, while denying them to the mainstream women of America.

They are as hypocritical as they are evil.

[LenaBaby61]

12. No, YOU don't get it.

People like Boebert are fine with THEMSELVES having abortions yet shame others who've had them, so no this is not slut-shaming. This is calling out a sanctimonious, hypocritical pos like Boebert and those like her. Do you know how many women/little girls will DIE because of people like her and white male right-wingers in the GQP? When they kick Roe back down to Red states, minorities will bear the brunt of this. White, right-winged male GQP's make sure their peeps have all of the safe and comfy abortions they want to and that's fair and ONLY hypocritical? This is more than just about hypocrisy.

Black and Hispanic people have the most to lose if Roe is overturned.

https://www.pbs.org/newshour/nation/black-and-hispanic-people-have-the-most-to-lose-if-roe-is-overturned

DO you think that the reich-wingers give one damn about all the damage and death they will be causing when Roe is thrown down to Red states? They don't care about the sanctity of life. They don't want to even take care of the children that are already HERE, yet they want to force a woman to have the baby of her rapist, uncle, father or if she's going through an Ectopic pregnancy, she ought to just die or if she has an abortion go to jail or face the death penalty?


LOUISIANA REPUBLICANS WANT TO CHARGE PEOPLE WHO UNDERGO ABORTIONS WITH HOMICIDE.


https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2022/05/louisiana-abortion-homicide-bill

These crazies are not playing around. This is more than just about hypocrisy. This is about LIFE and DEATH, and these GQP'ers are calling for death of women if they dare make a personal choice about abortion with their spouses, families, doctors etc. They get that choice, but don't want anybody ELSE to have it.

[Skittles]

13. I think you misunderstood me

I absolutely don't care whatever kind of kink consenting adults are into -more power to them....it's repukes saying one thing while doing another that bothers me......conservatives are all about DO AS WE SAY, NOT AS WE DO

[LenaBaby61]

17. I'm talking about her being a filthy hypocrite.

You call it kink, but it's a WHOLE pattern of lies, holier than though attitudes, and hypocrisy which they hide and spew their messages about God and Jesus onto other people. These other reich-wingers sit back and live their lives in complete peace and quiet and hypocrisy WHILE they're literally passing laws which will end up KILLING other women, little girls, women who can die from an Ectopic pregnancy, because they're calling shots like THEY ARE GOD. They're burning the bridge behind themselves, after they've gotten to do what they want to with their lives and gotten to live THEIR lives unmolested and in peace in the cloke of darkness, then they have the nerve to PLAY GOD with other people's lives, and judge other people.

[Skittles]

19. they do seem to be taking it to a whole new level

absolutely

very important we defeat these fascists

[sarisataka]

37. Look again nt

[IngridsLittleAngel]

46. At what?

[Celerity]

5. +1

[IngridsLittleAngel]

4. She wasn't joking

She has no idea what a joke is, and has no sense of humor. Plus, she would never, ever joke about her precious, beloved guns.

[LenaBaby61]

7. I care very much about her having abortions ....

Because I believe she (Or was it Traitor Greene) who said that NO WOMAN should be allowed to have abortion for ANY purpose, yet if it was Boebert who said this along with reich-winged males think it's okay for them to make sure that their mistresses, side-pieces, wives have abortions yet when exposed, tell people to mind their business or they say they spoke to God about it.

As a woman myself, who had a friend 20 years ago who almost died from an Ectopic pregnancy I'm so sick of these hypocritical POS.

[Celerity]

9. video: the Lil Gunny BoBo shitshow starts at 29:05 (her opening video intro is batshit cray)

[Layzeebeaver]

10. But according to the myth...

Jesus gave his life freely so that humanity could be saved.

If he had all the AR-15s in heaven and earth, and used them to save his own life, then we would forever be living in an Old Testament world.

Oh, wait… now I get it.

[gratuitous]

39. Also, when he was arrested

Jesus claimed he could summon 12 legions of angels to defend him. Why does Rep. Boebert deny Jesus's words? The Christian Testament has some hard things to say about people who do that.

[captain queeg]

14. She's just on the trump train. What the RWers pass off as humor is just nastiness

It’s always been there but TFG brought it out to the forefront and now they openly espouse what they may had tried to hide before. Belittling others is high humor to them.

[PJMcK]

18. Hey, Boebert, you fucking idiot!

Jesus was a pacifist. He wouldn't have owned ANY weapons, that is, if he really existed at all. By the way, you know that he lived more than 2,000 years ago, right? Before the industrial revolution, if you understand anything.

Importantly, Jesus was sent to earth, so the story goes, because god sent him to earth to atone for humans' sins. Why would Jesus have tried to save himself? That doesn't make any sense at all.

Boebert, you're truly stupid.

[vlyons]

20. IF she had abortions, so what?

We should not demonize her, IF she did. The fault is in the hypocracy of demonizing other women for having abortions. No woman should ever be demonized for having had an abortion.

Her comments about Jesus are tasteless.

[Roy Rolling]

21. She's also a thief

She stole that joke from Homer Simpson. He said, “If Jesus had a gun he’d be alive today”.

A great line, mangled by Boebert.

[Emile]

22. Then off she goes to the bowling alley.

23. boebert is a joke, plain and simple..........

and not funny at all.

[BrightKnight]

24. Matthew 26:53 - nt

[elias7]

32. Exactly. There would be no Christianity without the crucifixion.

[BrightKnight]

44. Matthew 26:52 "Put your sword back in its place," Jesus said to him.

“For all who draw the sword will die by the sword.”

Luke 22:38, Isaiah 53;12 - IDK, one could argue that they crucified him because his disciples were armed.

There there is also Isaiah 2:4.

[sarisataka]

36. Exactly what I thought of

As I read her words

[NickB79]

47. It's amazing how so many self-proclaimed uber-Christians

Don't know crap about the Bible.

[bucolic_frolic]

25. Allegations about her, if true, could have been used as leverage against her votes

or activities in Congress, because they are so against the platform and beliefs of her party.

Did she text location of members of Congress on Jan 6? Did she do it of her own volition, or was she told do to so?

Kompromat can set the conditions for a type of blackmail. All unproven of course, but legitimate questions.

[AngryOldDem]

26. She's disgusting.

Also someone who has no clue as to what she’s saying. IOW, a moron.

I think Christ really hates His name being taken in vain in this manner.

[onethatcares]

27. it was religion that killed Christ

Pilate washed his hands of the matter if'n I remember correctly.

[AngryOldDem]

31. There's an old observation that if Christ came back today, He'd be crucified again.

[LiberatedUSA]

29. Yes he did.

If Jesus is God (so apparently he went and fucked himself to get here) and God is an all powerful infinite being, then he could have magicked himself up some AR-15s by pulling them out of the future.

He should have did that. The Bible could use some James Cameron.

[MissMillie]

30. the whole "swords into plowshares" concept eludes these people

And of course it would. They ignore the parts of the Bible that don't suit their political purposes.

[iemanja]

35. They are about as un-Christ like as imaginable

[Scrivener7]

33. I wouldn't release the info on her abortions if I were the one

who found it.

But if it is true, she's been living in a glass house and throwing boulders. There's nothing we can do to stop the story, and I can't say I won't be watching with interest how her very holy and pure constituents will react to it.

[Autumn]

34. That would have been a sight to see, An AR15 battle between twelve legions of angels

and the few Romans putting him to death

Do you think I cannot call on my Father, and he will at once put at my disposal more than twelve legions of angels?

she is so fucking stupid.

[demtenjeep]

38. she is no christian IT was the GRAND DESIGN to die

gawd the stupid is deep with her

[VGNonly]

40. It Jesus came back...

41. So she says the Will of God should be countered with weapons? To a religious congregation?
