Colorado Republican Congresswoman Lauren Boebert is once again proving that not only is she ignorant when it comes to the English language, she’s also a hypocrite who doesn’t understand the Bible she loves to quote as a defense for her indefensible actions and utterances.
Case in point: Boebert was reading from the Book of Romans, HuffPost reports, when she ran across a word that completely threw her.
Boebert, a conspiracy theorist who has embraced QAnon extremism, was reciting a passage from Romans that ― in “The Message” edition she was reading from ― referred to “wanton killing.” Except Boebert pronounced it more like “wonton,” the delicious dumpling often found in soup at Chinese restaurants.
“I don’t know what a wonton killing is. I’m gonna have to look that one up, but it sounds interesting.”
Oh, shit! There’s gonna be a wonton killing. Sure hope someone brought the teriyaki or sweet and sour sauce.
Of course, Boebert’s massive ignorance of the language that confounds her shouldn’t surprise anyone. She didn’t even manage to earn her GED high school equivalency until she was elected.
Fact-checking site Snopes.com confirmed that Boebert did indeed wait until after her election to get her GED:
On her educational background, she said she never claimed to have graduated from Rifle High School. “I went to my high school,” she said.
“I was a brand-new mom, and I had to make hard decisions on successfully raising my child, or getting to high school biology class. And I chose to take care of my child,” she said.
Boebert said she received her GED after completing a four-course review.
“I didn’t go through the typical education course,” she said. “I was a great student. I had great grades. I loved being there, but I was starting my family and had different priorities.”
Twitter users were eager to mock Boebert, and they did so with great gusto:
