Lauren Boebert Has No Idea How The Government Works

During an appearance at a Christian center this past weekend, Republican Representative made a comment that has since gone viral that proves she knows nothing about the US Constitution and how the government works. Boebert claimed that the church is supposed to direct the government, and that "separation of church and state" doesn't actually exist. She's misleading the public and they absolutely love what they hear. Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

At an event at a Christian center in Colorado this past weekend, Lauren Bobert, uh, basically told a crowd that she has no idea how the federal government works or what's even in the constitution. Now, those were not the words that she used, but the words that she did use imply that she is very ignorant about how this country was both founded. And of course, how it runs today. So what did she say that was so profoundly stupid? Let me read you the reason we had so many overreaching regulations in our nation is because the church complied the church is supposed to direct the government. The government is not meant to direct the church. That is not how our founding fathers intended it. And I'm tired of the separation of church and state junk. That's not in the constitution. It was in a stinking letter and it means nothing like what they say it does.

She is a recourse referring to a letter from one of the founding fathers, Thomas Jefferson written, and I believe 1802, um, to the Baptist convention where he mentions of course, separation of church and state. So at one point she's like, we've gotta do what the founders intended. And then she's like, oh, this one founder. Yeah, screw this guy to hell with Thomas Jefferson, who of course, uh, had created his own Bible where he omitted all the miracles of Jesus and just focused on the teachings to be a better human being, which is what Republicans really forgot to take away from the Bible. They, they actually omitted all the, the teachings and just focused on like, oh wow, cool. He did some really neat magic tricks. That's awesome. The church has meant to direct the government. Eh, no. See Lauren, if you were to go back and learn, literally just basic history, which I know, you know, you, and I'm not saying this in a horrible, you know what, I'm not even gonna say it.

I'm not even gonna go after her education at all. But those of us with even a rudimentary understanding of world history know that one of the big drivers to even establish the colonies here in the United States was escaping religious persecution. And of course, religious indoctrination, religious rule, again, one of many reasons of course, but that, that was a big factor. And so when, when it came time to write our own constitution in the bill of rights, that was weighing heavily on everybody's minds, of course they weren't the original people coming over here, but they understood. They remembered they, they knew their history, unlike Lauren Bobert and they didn't want to go back down that path. They did not want religion and government to be intertwined in any way. That's why that's the first amendment to the us constitution. And sure you can

Quibble about whether or not it actually says the phrase separation of church and state, you know, is that what it means? What it says is what it means is that the United States is not gonna prop up any single religion. You are free to worship free to practice as you please, but you also cannot impose your religion on anybody else. That is what that first amendment means. And that is what Laura Bobert of course is trying to obscure. And when she made these comments, of course, RA rockus applause from the crowd, they loved it. They would love nothing more than to live in a theocracy, right? They love to attack all the other theocracies around the globe like, oh, these horrible people are brutally oppressed by this religion. And they are completely blind to the fact that they're literally trying to do that here in the United States to the exact same degree of the people that they criticize, actually, in some instances far worse than that, but that's not the only crazy stupid thing that Lauren BT said.

She also had this to say about Donald Trump and because God called a man who was not a politician to run for office. And I believe that he was anointed for that position. He answered that call despite what other people were saying, despite all the negatives that they were listening and, and saying how unqualified he was. He said, I think I can do something good for this nation. And three Supreme court justices were installed.
