Lauren Boebert Says She’s Like Moses Because She’s Fighting Communism For God

According to Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO), she’s a lot like Moses from the Bible because God has given her “perseverance” over communism.

Speaking Sunday at the Turning Point USA Student Action Summit (a.k.a the Trump/Hitler Youth Brigade), Boebert said proof of God’s blessing is the fact that her restaurant, Shooters Grill, is still open:

“I put my faith and trust in God and I said if I commit my actions to the Lord, my plans will be successful. And now Shooters Grill has been open for eight years.”

Oh, and Boebert also proudly declared that despite her endless self-promotion, what she does isn’t the least bit about her or her massive ego:

“And this has never been about me. This is about liberty, this is about freedom, the American dream. This is about you. And that’s why this movement is not slowing down. And that right there is where boldness becomes perseverance.”

Is it the same “movement” that helped failed, one-term, twice-impeached former President Donald Trump lose by over 7 million votes? If so, the so-called “movement” may want to rethink its place in the political world.

The reason she is able to persevere in Congress, Boebert told attendees, is because God is involved in every decision she makes:

“When I have a bold idea, I am able to persevere because that idea is usually bigger than me. And I know if it’s bigger than me, God has to be involved!”

When was the last time Boebert had a bold idea other than shooting off her mouth and proving her own massive ignorance and bigotry? And no idea of hers will ever be big because it came from her incredibly small brain.

That’s when she made the comparison to Moses, which should have been enough to at least get a loud rumble of angry thunder from the heavens:

“Right after God said that to Moses, he said, why are you crying out to me, tell the people [to] go forward with what is in your hand

“So I’m telling you all now, be bold, persevere, and go forward with what is in your hand right now.”

What did Boebert have in her hand when she said that? A microphone, her favorite weapon of self-aggrandizement and grifting. She’s a typical Republican: In it for herself, and to hell with everyone else.

Before she left the stage, the Colorado congresswoman let the crowd know that her similarities to Moses have allowed her to “take on” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Cuban communists.

It’s a wonder Lauren didn’t slip and fall on some of that bullshit she left standing knee high on the stage from her verbal diarrhea.

Lauren Boebert Terrifies Her Fellow Republicans By Calling For An End To All Federal Benefits

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) may have cost Republicans any chance of winning the 2022 midterm elections, and she did it by saying out loud what many in the GOP have been dreaming about for decades.

Boebert decided she wanted to make a point about the federal government offering to help Americans, so she went full-tilt and said conservatives want to eliminate all federal benefits, telling attendees at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC):

“We’re here to tell government: ‘We don’t want your benefits. We don’t want your welfare. Don’t come to us with your Fauci ouchie. Leave us the hell alone!'”

The very idea of cutting Medicare and Social Security is considered to be the the proverbial “third rail” of American politics and has consistently proven to be political poison, especially for Republicans.

It’s especially ironic that Boebert would rail against welfare since she loves to brag that she was helped by federal and state programs:

Now that she’s getting her salary and benefits courtesy of American taxpayers, however, Ms. Boebert wants to leave the neediest among us high and dry. In other words, she’s a typical conservative: A hypocrite.

HuffPost notes that in recent years Republicans have chosen to shower the rich and big corporations with corporate welfare:

“Boebert’s party has no problem cranking up benefits for the wealthy. Under the Trump administration’s tax cut — pitched as a boon to the middle class — 60% of the benefits went to the richest 20% of Americans, with the largest cuts as a share of income going to the top 5%. Corporate taxes were slashed 40%. 

“As for the Paycheck Protection Program during Donald Trump’s administration, most of the aid went to bigger companies, with just 5% of recipients scarfing up more than half of the $525 billion that went out the door.”

Boebert’s remarks were met with harsh reaction on social media:

Let’s see if Lauren Boebert actually believes the bullshit she peddles. Let’s see her return her congressional salary and benefits to the U.S. Treasury. Willing to put your money where your big mouth is, Lauren?
