Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado sat down for a livestream interview with homophobic psycho pastor Andrew Wommack this week and it was about as vile and unimaginative as you might expect.
Wommack is the founder/president of the Truth & Liberty Coalition, an antigay hate group that claims to “educate, unify and mobilize believers in Jesus Christ to affect the reformation of nations.”
He opposes all things LGBTQ and once supported a law in Uganda that imposed the death penalty for what it called “aggravated homosexuality.” He also calls gay people “not normal” and says transgender equality is “demonic.”
Oh, and he says anyone who supports trans rights has been brainwashed by “a doctrine of the devil,” he thinks “homosexuality is hazardous to one’s health,” and he believes bans on conversion therapy are “demonic inspired.”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
We could go on but we think you get the picture.
Anyway, Boebert went on this guy’s show to rail against Democrats and promote her 2022 reelection campaign.
Much of the interview was spent blabbing about how awful she thinks the Equality Act is because it would “fundamentally ends girls’ sports in America.”
“We’re not talking about eight-year-olds’ soccer,” she argued. “We’re talking about post-puberty sports. We’re talking about girls who’ve worked their whole lives to earn a scholarship and not have to worry about being outplayed by a boy.”
Boebert also falsely claimed the bill would lead to “women getting in an MMA ring and having their skulls crushed by a man,” among other terrible things.
“We need people calling their representatives, calling their senators, and letting them know: Do not pass this!” she declared.
None of what she said, of course, is even remotely true. The Equality Act simply aims to make it illegal to discriminate against someone on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity, not have women’s “skulls crushed” by men.
Watch. Or don’t.

I understand she was unknown, got elected as a fluke, and is vulnerable.
We need to focus on enabling her Democratic opponents in the next election.
GayEGO
These religious bigots are the ones who have been brainwashed by their religions. They do not believe in science or the animal kingdom which also has same-gender attraction.
Bengali
Just another psychotic GOP’er who uses their religion to judge, condemn and incite hate and violence against LGBTQ+ community. I hope someone pushes her and her kind down an elevator shaft.
Fahd
Laughable, despicable characters who need to be reported about and monitored. I won’t watch; my time is better spent otherwise.

This pastor is one sick puppy. I am a retired Baptist gay pastor who has pastored churches in five different states. If he is basing his warped opinions on the Bible, mine does not read like his. At some point, God will become so displeased he will shut his mouth or call him home. I will sit back and just wait and let God deal with him.
James
Oh right, the same way god dealt with Hitler after millions were murdered in nazi concentration camps. Yeah, some god.
darklight413
She is truly a representative of the the republikkkan party.
Mister P
Anyone who is republican or voted for them is condoning this kind of madness. We must pressure our families and friends to not buy into this hate.
Bengali
I’ve dropped several friends who still support GOP. I have no more GOP friends. I used to be tolerant and could have discussions with them but they are no longer human. I condemn them and wish horrible things upon them.
Nickie
Isn’t her mom a lesbian?
James
SHE OF COURSE IS THE REAL NAZI PSYCHO LOSER PERVERT EVERYONE SHOULD FEAR.
SHE IS AN EVIL SICK HAG WITH DELUSIONS WHO SHOULD BE IN A MENTAL HOSPITAL IN A STRAIGHT JACKET.
LMG
She looks like a teenage refugee from Saved By The Bell. How does someone so inherently dumb and stupid get elected to anything? Answer: She’s a Republican.
ShiningSex
She’s vile so are gays that are republican. There’s NO excuse for supporting a group that hates you and feels you’re vile. Gay republicans are morons and have a special place in hell for them as well.
FtballBear27
I totally agree with you and came on to basically say the same thing (that’s before I saw your comment)
cuteguy
She’s a disgusting loser who gets elected by bigots in her hillbllly district. The Dems need to get their act together and play dirty like that ugly turtle Moscow Mitch and get these districts re-allocated so it favors the Dems. Otherwise we will continue to have bigots like this poor man Sarah a Palin

The working class party is not doing anything for the working class. Surprise, surprise. #smh #facepalm
Seth
Stop feeding these cave twunts oxygen.
Allow obscurity to devour them. It’s more than they deserve but it’s the very, very least that the rest of us do.
Robert Bradley
What a vile excuse of a human. She needs to slither back to her gene pool and try it again.
Mack
Does she support fellow Republican Caitlyn Jenner who golfs in the Women’s League?
Mr-DJ
So in that rare instance out of millions that a trans girl might be the best, Boebert is saying that trans girl didn’t ALSO have dreams and worked for the win? And Boebert believes she doesn’t deserve something positive like that in her life, for once? And who’s to say that trans girl actually did have an advantage? Taking female hormones is not exactly ‘helpful’ in the case of strength. And there are ALL KINDS of things that could give ANY girl the advantage over another. What if it was basketball, would they deny a girl who just happens to be 6 feet tall at the age of 13, just because all the other girls are only 4′ 9″ ?? Or maybe another girl’s family has enough money that their little sweety can practice a sport daily at their country club, while another is poor. Where does it stop?
Chrisk
I love their angle on this. They know they can’t openly attack gay people. Trans people are the last ones where it’s ok to shit on so if they can get this bill defeated on just that they can kill two birds with one stone as they say.
Downunder
Personally, I’d love to see some MMA men get in the cage with Amanda Nunes. She would throttle them.
moretruth
With that pointed chin, busted face and hideous personality, she’s about a decade away from the perfect Halloween costume Witchy- poo. Of course, she has her white hood to wear until then.
Mehki
What wrong with her heart, chin, and body proportions?
Something is all wrong and hurts my eyes looking at her.
Or maybe it’s just the ignorant vile evil.
alex1435
She’s a crazy idiot
Tombear
Boebert was a total slut in high school. After having an abortion for the first kid she left high school after she had her second bastard. She doesn’t even have a high school diploma. And she makes laws that affect my husband and I. She is a bonafide GOP moron!
FtballBear27
For the life of me I don’t know how in the Hell can those in the LGBTQ+ community support/side with those kinds of people in that party
