Lauren Boebert says affirming trans people’s identities will lead to school shootings

The gun-obsessed Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) believes that being transgender and learning about societal oppression will “radicalize” students and make them mentally ill, causing them shooting up schools.

Her views echo right-wing justifications for bans on LGBTQ+ and racial justice curriculum in schools. Her views also avoid blaming guns for recent mass shootings, blaming queer people and progressive politics instead.

“You can call me whatever you want. You could call me a f** right now and it wouldn’t mean anything to me.”

In her March 30th interview with gay conservative podcaster Dave Rubin, Boebert said, “I believe that the left is radicalizing [shooters]. You know, when you’re telling someone, ‘You’re not good enough. You are oppressed. You are the lesser person. You are the lesser class,’ well then, that’s going to get in inside of them and cause depression and more mental health crises.”
