Marjorie Taylor Greene is not alone when it comes to Republican representatives who say crazy and outlandish things. House Representative from Colorado, Lauren Boebert, comes up with some amazing words. She spoke recently in Mendon, Illinois, at a rally for FORMER president Donald Trump. Boebert expressed a desire, very contrary to the Constitution, to make the government subject to the church. She was also factually incorrect.
"I'm tired of this separation of church and state junk — that's not in the Constitution. It was in a stinking letter, and it means nothing like they say it does. The church is supposed to direct the government. The government is not supposed to direct the church. That is not how our founding fathers intended it."

Boebert had quite the foot-in-mouth moment on June 2nd, when she was trying to dish out criticism against proponents of gun safety in the House of Representatives. With an intensely saShe asserts that Democratic governance of states and cities has driven up demand for firearms, then makes a statement about sales volume of "F-15s," which is not a gun, but a multi-role combat aircraft.
"Democrats are single handedly responsible for the sale of tens of millions of firearms. Bravo; well done! I hear that the interest has begun to peak when it comes to the sale of F-15s."

Boebert made a blasphemous statement during a loony attempt to support the 2nd Amendment, uttered before a religious conference. Her audience was filled with people who will cite the New Testament teaching that Jesus gave his life in sacrifice, willingly, to atone for mankind's Original Sin. Jesus even rebuked followers of his who used violence. Somewhere in her life, she must have heard someone quote John 3:16, about said sacrifice.
"On Twitter, a lot of the little Twitter trolls, they like to say, ‘Oh, Jesus didn’t need an AR-15, how many AR-15s do you think Jesus would've had? Well, he didn't have enough to keep his government from killing him."

These gaffes have contributed to Boebert's reputation as a polarizing figure in American politics, with many critics accusing her of spreading misinformation and making divisive statements.
It's worth noting that Boebert has also been praised by some supporters for her willingness to speak her mind and challenge mainstream narratives. However, her controversial remarks continue to dominate headlines and shape public perception of her political career.
