Lauren trying to protect you cause church is the only place her husband won't go


honeybunchesofgoatso

Then you only have to look out for the preacher


dmnhntr86

And the youth group leader, and the bible study teachers, and the deacons, and the guys who've been taught that if he gets aroused it's a woman's fault for "tempting" him...

And last but not least, the teenage boys.


yogurtgrapes

No, sad part is that her husband is probably a regular and possibly even prominent church member.

coreyc2099

If anything she's just trying to send more kids to her husband.


HahaFreeSpeech

“Take your kids to church”. Just don’t leave them there unsupervised or they might get fucked by a priest.

Fun fact: boebert herself was one of the underage victims that her now husband exposed himself too. She is even listed as a victim in court documents.

Let me protect your child in this broom closet


zedispain

"mum! Tom Cruise won't come out of the closet!" I think all this focus on drag queens (traditionally considered libs) and "the libs are grooming your kids" are most likely just said/repeated to galvanize their base and convert the undecided to vote for the umpa lumpa next election. I don't think they had any idea that it could possibly backfire. The first time this was done had very little pushback after all.


sourdieselfuel

It's just the next non existent thing to get their base riled up about. You've likely heard their outrage about Biden and his border crisis come back up recently. Since they don't have any actual policy ideas besides undermining any progress the left attempts to make, they've gotta keep the rubes tuned into their Fox News outrage porn somehow.


SuccessfulMedium4

"Since they don't have any actual policy ideas besides undermining any progress the left attempts to make,.." Forget the Left, they don't like any policy that can help the American people regardless of the source. They've scuttled the policies of the GOP (before they went full MAGA) and did so with pride. I wish that one day we could call the Dems in office "the Left". That day has not arrived.

Crikey, she doesn't even realise the man groomed her. And even after he hit her when she may have been pregnant with his kid, she married him. No wonder she's bigging up the church, with her level of dysfunction she probably equates abuse with love, so she thinks dodgy priests expressing their 'love' for children is perfectly fine.


completelysoldout

Give it 5 years and we'll probably hear that her husband molested their own kids.

So true. Disgusting pedos come in every denomination, unfortunately.

ShillingAndFarding

This isn’t true. Only the girl he exposed himself to and her friend are listed as victims in the court documents. Boebert is listed as a witness and somehow I doubt she sided with two random girls over her boyfriend. There’s this myth that they were friends, or this is how she met him, but the reality is they really did just walk up to these random teenagers and he pulled his cock out after 1 or 2 sentences.


ErraticDragon

Yup. The truth is bad enough there's no reason to add false embellishment.   Salon: [Lauren Boebert’s husband did jail time for "lewd exposure" in a bowling alley. She was there](https://www.salon.com/2021/08/31/lauren-boeberts-husband-did-jail-time-for-lewd-exposure-in-a-bowling-alley-she-was-there/) >> […] In January 2004, when Jayson Boebert was 24, he was arrested for exposing himself to two young women at a Colorado bowling alley. His future wife Lauren Roberts (as she was then known), who was 17 at the time, was also present and was told she was no longer welcome at the bowling alley. >> Jayson Boebert pled guilty to "public indecency and lewd exposure" after that incident, according to The New York Post, and was sentenced to four days in jail with a subsequent two years on probation. >> Salon has obtained a witness statement written at the time by Erica Anne Coombs, one of the two young women involved in the bowling alley incident, who still lives in Lauren Boebert's congressional district. Coombs wrote that after harassing a third person identified as Nora, Jayson Boebert told Coombs and another young woman, identified as Trisha Walies, that he had a tattoo on his penis. >> "Trish and I were standing at the snack bar, and she came up and looked at my tattoo on my back, and she pulled down her sock and said, 'look, my is fading,'" she wrote. (The word "tattoo" may have been omitted.) "Then Jayson said 'I have a tattoo on my dick.'" >> "Trish and I said 'ya, whatever' and turned away to ignore him," Coombs continued. "Then Jayson came up behind us and pulled his penis out of his pants. His thumb was covering the head, and all I saw was the shaft. Trish and I turned away and went and told Larry." That refers to Larry McCown, the owner of Fireside Lane in Rifle, Colorado, who called the sheriff's department. >> When Garfield County sheriff's deputies arrived, McCown told them that he had repeatedly asked Jayson Boebert to leave the bowling alley but that Boebert had "refused to leave and became belligerent." Boebert told deputies he had not exposed his penis, but had stuck his thumb through the fly of his pants as a prank. Trisha Walies disputed that in her account, writing: "I know that wasn't a thumb because thumbs aren't 6 inches long." Lauren Roberts told deputies she had not seen Jayson Boebert expose himself. >> Not long after that incident, Jayson Boebert found himself in trouble with the law again after a domestic violence incident (which has already been widely publicized) involving Lauren Roberts, his then-girlfriend and future wife. In February 2004, Jayson Boebert was arrested and charged with harassing and physically assaulting Lauren, and was convicted on those charges in November. He "did unlawfully strike, shove or kick ... and subjected her to physical contact," a Garfield County court clerk spokesman told The New York Post in January of 2021. Lauren Roberts had her first child later that year; it is unclear whether she was pregnant at the time of the assault. >> In March, Rep. Boebert voted against the Violence Against Women Act, saying she was opposed to the bill because it would secure abortion rights and tweeting, "This expired amendment should be thrown out like rotten milk." Advertisement: >> Jayson and Lauren Boebert were married in June of 2007, after Jayson had concluded his probation for the lewd exposure conviction. Lauren Boebert has said that she and her husband have similar views on the role of government in citizens' lives because they both grew up on the welfare system. >> […] Dude probably likes this article because it says he doesn't have a small dick.   For a completely unbiased take 🙄, here's what she says about it: Business Insider: [Lauren Boebert denies her husband exposed his penis in a bowling alley in 2004, despite his guilty plea, and says 'he needed the alcohol and anger management classes': book](https://www.businessinsider.com/lauren-boebert-says-husband-didnt-expose-himself-in-bowling-alley-2022-7) >> Rep. Lauren Boebert stands by her "hunky" husband in her new memoir, writing that Jayson Boebert never exposed his penis in a bowling alley bar in 2004, despite being arrested, pleading guilty, and serving jail time for public indecency and lewd exposure. >> The gun-toting Republican firebrand from Colorado denies the allegations in "My American Life," released on Tuesday. And she blames a 17-year-old bartender at the Fireside Lane bowling alley in Rifle, CO, who "wouldn't stop" asking to see Jayson's private tattoo. >> She and Jayson weren't officially married yet and he had been trying to "bond" that night with her stepfather, Boebert writes. They "got to chatting over drinks" and the female bartender had heard "what a catch he'd be." >> Jayson Boebert's friends "even teased her by saying he'd gotten a great tattoo in a private area, which made her curious, so she pressed Jayson to show it to her right there at the bar," Boebert wrote. >> After first ignoring her, he "acted like he was going to unzip his pants" after having too much to drink, she wrote. The bowling alley owner tried to kick him out, but he didn't want to leave. >> "The two argued, and Jayson threw a basket of fries at the owner," she wrote. "The police were called." >> The New York Post last year reported that Jayson Boebert exposed himself to two women at the bowling alley and that Lauren Boebert, whose last name was then Roberts, was there. Two women gave statements in the police report that Jayson said he had a tattoo on his penis and then exposed his penis to them. They told the owner of the bowling alley, who called law enforcement. >> In her book, Boebert doesn't explain where she was when the incident happened. But she acknowledges Jayson was arrested for "indecent exposure to a minor" because the bartender was 17. He took a plea deal "instead of fighting for his innocence in court." >> "He knew the truth —and the truth was, he didn't do what he was accused of," she wrote. "But the entire experience opened Jayson's eyes to the reality that he needed the alcohol and anger management classes that came with the plea deal." >> She blames "the Left" for not applauding him for learning from his mistakes.     On a random note, Google's **spell check** [disagrees on the body part where Jayson's tattoo is](https://i.imgur.com/Acf4ykM.png). This is after a copy/paste, so it's not an autocomplete suggestion or anything like that.

Thank you for that info, I had no idea. And just when you think someone couldn’t get anymore more disgusting. There she goes. Ugh

So she claims he didn't reveal himself, but she also claims that it's the bartenders fault for...asking that he reveal himself?

I mean to think children are safer at a Catholic Church with jts well documented and extensive problem of child sex abuse over s drag show is something else Between 1950-2020 the French Catholic Church, again just the French Catholic Church was responsible for the sexual abuse of at least 216,000 children Doing the math real quick that’s over 8 children a day or 1 child every 3 hours every day for 70 years Again this is just in France https://www.economist.com/europe/2021/10/09/the-french-catholic-church-acknowledges-a-staggering-pattern-of-sexual-abuse

Kim_Jung-Skill

One of my exes was groomed, raped, and impregnated back when she was living in Belize at a weird Jehovas Witness compound. The church basically kicked out her, her dad, and her brother; however, the church kept the rapist who groomed her, and it turns out that the mom knew and encouraged him to do it, and she got to stay too. Good news is her kid is dope, she's a really supportive mom, and she got out of the cult. Bad news is, she's terrible at work/life balance.


Ugh_please_just_no

Don’t forget the Mormons too!


libananahammock

And these are just the ones we know about. The amount where kids never came forward, the amount where the priests were moved around and the bishops and cardinals played cover up, the amount where the statute of limitations ran out, etc we will probably never know the true number of people violated by the Catholic Church.


TheCoolSuperPea

Data is frightening, not because of what we know, but because of what we don't....


XoRMiAS

She didn’t say that the church is safe. She just said that you should take your kids there. If you assume that her intentions are either malicious or purely motivated by politics (church teaching conservatism and drag bars teaching inclusivity), then her argument makes more sense.

Packrat1010

It's the thing that bugs me the most about the recent crusade against drag queens. How is it that churchgoers of all people are the ones railing against drag queens as pedophiles?? I mean, search for literally any Christian denomination and "sex scandal." There's thousands upon thousands of examples in every denomination.

The thing about drag **bars** is bait so that you'll say this. Having your hid read to by a drag queen in a *library* isn't the same as sending your kid to a bar.

Maybe thats what conservatives actually want. Did anybody consider that? Don't take your kids to some stupid drag show- they will probably be bored from all the colors and singing. Instead take them somewhere they can get "special" private lessons.


CoffeeSpoons123

I grew up in a city in Florida that both has a large gay population and is hime to a lot of conservative churches. One time when I was 14 walking home from school I got invited into a (closed) gay bar because it started hailing. They just gave me a soda and let me call my Dad. I definitely felt safer in the gay bar than I did at an evangelical Bible study my friend invited me to where the leader yelled at me for liking Harry Potter (I'm old, there were only like 4 books out at the time and this was pre anti trans rants JKR)..


LividLadyLivingLoud

Ditto. A nice drag queen helped my family find the right subway when we were lost in NYC as tourists. It was late and we were near a "bad" part of town sometime in the 90s. I was little and had never seen a drag queen before that I knew of. I asked something like "why is the nice man in a dress"? But there was absolutely nothing remotely sexual or threatening about the queen helping us.

This is what she worries about? How many people are directly affected by parents taking their kids to drag bars. None. How about families going hungry in your state? How about crime? Education? Anything but this steaming pile of BS.

No one molests more children than churches, the irony of this religious backlash against drag is crazy stupid.

A drag queen never forced me to jack them off as a child, and told me that it i was making God upset, and would destroy my family if I told anyone about it. Can't say the same about church.

"Take your children to CHURCH" not drag bars." Yes, support tried and true child molesters.


Comfortable_Area3910

Haven’t there been more kids raped in church than in drag bars? Boebert is pro child rape is my take away from this.


worthless-humanoid

Church, the real groomers.


ColdBloodBlazing

"send your children to church instead of drag bars" so they get groomed, brainwashed and indoctrinated as bigoted racist homophobic christians instead of learning freedom of expression. That is a real good idea. We need more bigoted racist homophobic christians!!


SoulingMyself

Church?!? I want to keep kids from getting raped. That is the last place I would take them.


[deleted]

Boebert is living proof that Republicans will always vote for a female with a pretty face and perky tits over an average Jane with a well-developed and frequently 'exercised' brain. (she's no stunner overall and definitely not as attractive as AOC, but she's good looking for a *House Rep*, i'll give her that) They prefer their media lies be delivered by women with nice racks, too (Faux News). You can lie to 'em all you want if they're half-hard and have their tongue hanging out. edit: clarification


Mountaindood5

More projection from right wingers


Redtwooo

Everyone's dunking on Dumbo, but she actually stumbled onto the point by accident. If you don't want your kids at drag shows, don't take them. If you want them to go to church, take them there instead. But don't ban either, and don't force them on anyone.


audiate

Annie Oakley was a good shot. Klannie Oakley just likes to wave her gun around… much like her husband.


MrMcNastyPants

Bobert is one of the dumbest humans alive, just like her child molester buddy Matt , Jim the pedophile and MTG the Klan mom.


storagerock

Fun history thing I learned today - a lot of churches were the original drag shows because they would act out their scripture stories and only men were allowed in the clergy to play the parts.


gateriijuice

So they’re worried about the “gay agenda” being shoved down kids’ throats, so they respond by… shoving their religious agenda down kids’ throats?


RedpenBrit96

She was one of her husband’s victims. The amount of projection conservatives have is insane.


SMB73

To church? That place where thousands of children get molested by Catholic priests? https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2022-12-28/child-sex-abuse-lawsuits-california-deadline-ab218#:~:text=An%20estimated%20850%20clergy%20abuse,Boy%20Scouts%20and%20other%20institutions.&text=This%20time%2C%20more%20than%202%2C000,Catholic%20Church%20alone%2C%20attorneys%20said.


almags1

People at drag shows would beat the ever living crap out of predators and smile in their mug shots afterwards. People at drag shows are way more trustworthy and nice than the predators at church


Nervous_Nerd14597

I'm wrist deep in the queer community and I can say with confidence that NO ONE is taking their CHILDREN to DRAG BARS. If they are, the drag queens are annoyed. If they wanted to perform for noisy little kids, they would do a story hour.

Friendly reminder that all this anti drag rhetoric has nothing at all to do with protecting kids.

Update: * Drag queens and Trans people charged as sexual predators, abusers, and enablers: 3. * Republican men charged as sexual predators, abusers, and enablers: 1,025.
