GED Queen Lauren Boebert Proves Her Ignorance Of English While Reading A Bible Verse

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:

Lauren Boebert’s Neighbors Say Her Husband Drives Drunk And Her Kids Are Out Of Control

Be thankful you aren’t Rep. Lauren Boebert’s (R-CO) neighbors, because based on just released 911 calls, it sounds like Boebert, her husband, and her children are not the sort of people you want living near you.

The Denver Post obtained recordings of the calls to police and report that Boebert’s neighbors said they feared for their lives at times because the Boebert clan “all have guns.”

The calls also provide additional context into what the neighbors, in Silt, said amounted to excessive speeding, property damage, possible drunken driving and threats made from a man whose family openly and regularly carries their firearms.

“I’m sure he’s loaded to the hilt. Do you know who his wife is? Lauren Boebert. She’s loaded. They all have guns,” one neighbor told a 911 dispatcher. “He just got chest to chest, face to face, looking to fight.”

The confrontation began on August 4, when one of Bobert’s sons was allegedly speeding down the street in a dune buggy, which led to a neighbor flagging the boy down and asking him to go slower:

“He’s going like 50 miles an hour and this is a residential lane, there’s kids,” one neighbor, told 911 dispatchers, according to the audio. “We tried to stop him and he’d just freakin’ cuss at us and just left.”

That’s when Jayson Boebert, the congresswoman’s husband, entered the picture:

By the time the second neighbor called 911, deputies hadn’t yet arrived. During that call, Jayson Boebert reportedly began to run the second neighbor’s mailbox over in a truck.

“There’s about to be some s— going down here,” the second neighbor told dispatchers. “It’s Lauren Boebert’s jackass husband, Jayson Boebert.”

During the call the second neighbor can be heard yelling at Jayson Boebert.

“Stop, you jackass! Get the f— out of here,” he yelled. “Come on, man. What are you doing? What did we do wrong?”

According to neighbors, Jayson Boebert also likes to drink and drive:

“Jayson’s probably drunk. You could probably get him for a DUI, he just drove down here,” he said.

Jayson Boebert already has a criminal record. In 2004, he pleaded guilty to exposing himself to two minors in a bowling alley.

For her part, Lauren Boebert is currently seeking a second term in Congress, but if voters are as fed up as her neighbors, the congresswoman may have trouble getting reeelected.

Lauren Boebert Has An Online Hissy Fit Over A Poll About College Student’s Political Preferences

Right-wing Republicans (especially those who support disgraced, one-term former president Donald Trump) love to say that Democrats and progressives are too sensitive, so they call them “snowflakes” and dismiss them as being irrelevant.

And yet, a new poll from NBC News and Generation Lab has some of those same Trumpers whining because 62% of college students surveyed said they would not share a dorm room or apartment with someone who voted for Trump.

According to Mediaite:

A whopping 62 percent of college Democrats would not room with a Trump voter — more than double the number of Republicans who would refuse to share living space with a Biden voter.

A new NBC News/Generation Lab poll of the class of 2025 shows Democrats in that group really shun people who voted for former President Donald Trump. Like, a lot, and much more than Republicans avoid supporters of President Joe Biden — to the tune of a 34-point difference. Only 28 percent of Republicans  said they’d “probably” or “definitely” refuse a Biden voter.

Here are some of the quotes from students who participated in the NBC poll:

“I could never live with someone who supported a racist, homophobic, xenophobic and sexist person,” said September Mostransky, 18, of Siena College in Loudonville, New York, referring to former President Donald Trump.

“I could possibly room with somebody who is Republican. But when it comes down to it, Donald Trump is not the average Republican candidate,” Mostransky added.

Ethan Strohmetz, 19, a Republican who attends Catholic University in Washington, D.C., has a different opinion.

“A person’s political views do not affect whether or not I would have a friendship or relationship with them,” he said. “Many of my friends have vastly different political views than I do, but I do not let that affect our friendship.”

Perhaps no one was more upset by the poll than Rep. Lauren Boebert, who took to Twitter (rather than do the job she was elected to do) and posted this:

Here’s something Lauren needs to keep in mind: When it comes to “tolerance” most of us who are Democrats can tolerate just about anything except intolerance, and we won’t agree to be around bigoted assholes who hate people for the color of their skin, their sexual orientation, or their native language.

Sorry, Bobo, but almost no one likes you, and the only person to blame is YOU.

Lauren Boebert Gets Reprimanded By House Democrat For Her ‘Fabricated’ Rant About The IRS

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) got taken to the proverbial woodshed Friday during debate on legislation that would deal with climate change and taxation after Boebert began spinning wild conspiracy theories and lies about the bill in question.

During her speech on the House floor regarding the Inflation Reduction Act, Boebert incorrectly asserted that Democrats were intent on “making the IRS, with armed agents, larger than the Pentagon.”

She added:

“This bill hires 87,000 new IRS agents and they are armed and the job description tells them that they need to be required to carry a firearm and expect to use deadly force if necessary!”

But as the Washington Post reports, Boebert and many of her GOP colleagues are lying about the bill:

Natasha Sarin, Treasury counselor for tax policy and implementation, told The Fact Checker that over half of the IRS staff — 50,000 — is eligible for retirement in the next five years. Much of the funding for new employees will be focused on mitigating that attrition and adding customer service and information technology specialists in addition to enforcement agents. The agency has also lost about 40 percent of the agency staff who specialize in complex tax audits, bringing it to the level of the agency in World War II, she said.

In any case, the 87,000 figure is wildly exaggerated. These people are not all new tax agents.

Democratic Congressman John Yarmuth of Kentucky also laid an instant fact-check and reprimand on Boebert:

“I will say in response to the gentlewoman from Colorado, this is typical of what the Republicans are doing. First of all, they’re making up numbers. There’s nowhere anywhere that says 87,000 new IRS agents will be hired in this bill. That’s a totally fabricated number. And the idea that they’re armed — I know Mrs. Boebert would like everyone to be armed as they are in her restaurant, but that’s not what IRS agents do. I would implore my Republican colleagues to… cut out the scare tactics.”

Lauren Boebert Humiliates Herself With A Tweet About Begging For ‘Acceptance’

Perhaps you’re wondering what’s going today in the World of Stupid. If so, it probably won’t surprise you to learn that Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) is one of the headlines in that particular department.

Out of nowhere Wednesday, Boebert posted this on Twitter:

“Don’t beg for acceptance from people who hate you.”

And this is in reference to what exactly? She failed to make that clear, which isn’t exactly new when it comes to Boebert. After all, this is the same woman who has previously left us all scratching our heads with these pearls of idiocy:

Regarding calls for gun control to reduce mass shootings, Boebert remarked, “When 9/11 happened, we didn’t ban planes, we secured the cockpits.”

She attacked the Walt Disney Company by misspelling the name of Mickey Mouse.

Or perhaps you prefer a lovely Thanksgiving message:

“Today I’m thankful to have ZERO Brandon voters in my family! Just enjoying the day maskless, not waiting in the garage to do a PCR test, and no soy replacement meat in sight.”

Reaction to Bobo’s “acceptance” tweet was priceless. Take a look:

When it comes to begging for acceptance, perhaps Lauren can explain this:
