Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) defended a Louisiana law requiring the Ten Commandments to be posted in the state’s classrooms and argued against Steve Bannon that America needs morality.
“We need morals in our country, back in our schools. If there is anything we are going to present to our children, it is going to be the word of God,” Boebert told Bannon on his “War Room” podcast. “It’s not some fad of the day that you can be canceled in ten years because you believe in it.”
Boebert argued that children could benefit from a religious message, which critics say violates the fundamental constitutional principle of the separation of church and state. The Colorado congressman emphasized the Bible’s anti-adultery message, weeks after appearing to support Donald Trump as he stood trial for payments he made to cover up his affair with Stormy Daniels.
“Also mentioned in the Ten Commandments is ‘Thou shalt not steal.’ Maybe the left and some of these politicians are having a breakdown because they have that right here in our classrooms: ‘Thou shalt not steal,’ said Boebert, whose son was arrested in February on charges of property theft, according to Meidas Touch News.
Boebert, who claimed to be a champion of the word of God, drew attention in 2023 for committing lewd acts in public during a performance of “Beetlejuice,” which got her and her date thrown out of a Denver theater.
Meanwhile, Bannon, a former adviser to Donald Trump and the chief architect of the infamous “Muslim ban,” faces a threatened prison sentence for violating a congressional subpoena issued by the Jan. 6 select committee after a federal judge ruled appeal had rejected his plea to remain free. on Thursday.
Boebert faces a primary on Tuesday in Colorado’s 4th Congressional District, which she chose after nearly losing her seat in 2022.
