Colorado Republican extremist Congresswoman Lauren Boebert was one of the featured speakers at the Conservative Political Action Committee (CPAC) today in Maryland, and the speech she gave reeked of militancy and threats as she suggested that right-wingers “have the weapons to win” in a battle against Democrats.
Pacing the stage like a caged animal, Boebert repeatedly fired off scripture from the Bible and denounced “the left [that] wants to silence your speech.”
The ardent Second Amendment extremist also remarked, “We have truth on our side … This fight has come to us. We didn’t ask for it, but we have the weapons to win this battle against actual evil.”
Near the end of her comments, Boebert told the sparse audience:
Boebert’s CPAC comments shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone. After all, this is the same deranged lunatic who said Jesus wouldn’t have been crucified if he’d had more AR-15 assault rifles around him.
At an event hosted by the Charis Christian Center in 2022, the Colorado Republican said:
“They like to say: ‘Oh, Jesus didn’t need an AR-15. How many AR-15s do you think Jesus woulda had?’ Well, he didn’t have enough to keep his government from killing him.”
She also made reference to the Biblical story of Cain and Abel:
“Cancel culture has been here since the very beginning. Cain canceled Abel. And guess what, it wasn’t with a big, scary AR-15, it was with a rock. So I don’t think it’s a firearm issue, I think it’s a heart, a sin issue.”
