Lauren Boebert refuses to “nitpick what the Bible says” when talking about her son’s premarital sex

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO), who often uses her religious beliefs to justify her positions on political issues, was a lot less willing to do so when it came to her minor son and his minor girlfriend’s pregnancy.

Earlier this month, Boebert was ranting about how “liberals” want to teach her four sons “to be women” just before she announced that her 17-year-old son’s younger girlfriend is expecting a baby in April. This will make Boebert a 36-year-old grandmother since she got pregnant with her son when she was in high school herself.

She called the idea that the U.S. government should follow the will of the people “woke nonsense.”

She was talking with gay conservative podcast host Dave Rubin asked Boebert on Thursday about how she talked to her son and his girlfriend about keeping the baby – Boebert is staunchly opposed to abortion – and Rubin asked, “Was there any part of that that challenged any of your beliefs?”

“Obviously, I’m a Christian, and there are standards that we like to uphold, but none of us do it perfectly,” she said, probably referring to the premarital sex that led to the pregnancy. “You know, one of the biggest things that I look to is ‘him who knows to do right and doesn’t, it’s sin.'”

But, unlike when she’s talking about LGBTQ+ people, Boebert was in a very forgiving mood.

“And I mean, there’s things all throughout the week that I know is right to do, and sometimes, I don’t do them,” she said. “And so we can nitpick what the Bible says is right and wrong, but I think just having that, um, that, that heart posture of wanting to serve God and do the right thing is so important.”
