'Choosing teenage sex': Lauren Boebert roasted for defending teen son impregnating underage girlfriend



United States Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (R-Colorado) boasted during a recent interview with the right-wing advocacy group Moms for America about her seventeen-year-old son Tyler having impregnated his underage girlfriend.

Boebert announced in March that she is excited to be a "thirty-six-year-old grandmother" and has refused to disclose the teen mother-to-be's age, revealing only that she is some number "over fourteen."

Boebert, who secured a second term in 2022 by a mere 546 votes, opposes abortion, is against teaching young students about human reproduction, and was herself an adolescent parent.

Boebert told a correspondent covering Moms for America that "my oldest son, um, he is going to be a dad in April, the beginning of April. And I, I, I made the, the announcement because I, I want to encourage so many people, um, that life wins. Life is a good thing. This is never something that is, um, going to destroy your life by adding more life to it. And so I, I'm so happy that, um, my son, uh, and, and his girlfriend chose life."

But many social media observers recoiled at the views expressed by Boebert, who is also a millionaire many times over.

The Mrs.Gravely: "Basically she's encouraging and supporting underage, unprotected sex."

That's HEDLEY!: "Between this and the car accident, he's a real winner. Acorn < tree."

Choc O'Phile: "She's pro-white babies. It's as simple as that. This is just another facet of her racism. A couple weeks ago, when she talked about rural birth rates, that was a dog whistle for white birth rates."

Bobbie: "Any idea how a 17 yr old and 15 yr old plan on supporting this 'life?'"

Merrily Awaiting: "Knocking up underage girls is so courageous."

bmichael: "No, you made the announcement to GET AHEAD OF THE STORY, period. A decent parent would have had a talk about methods to prevent pregnancy, but not Boober, the cheap little tart."

Biltong Baggins: "Well good thing about those Christian values."

RK: "No 15 year old is ready to make that choice."

Charles Evans: "Choosing teenage sex."

iye: "The hypocrisy is what kills me. This same girl voted against reproductive healthcare and other programs (feeding school kids) that could possibly help teenagers who make similar mistakes i.e teenage pregnancies."

UpNorth on Superior: "Absolutely pathetic. There's NO justification for a child to impregnate another child. Give it up, Bobo."

How misinformation could shape the Israel-Hamas war

Image
I wanted to interview Nicholas Grossman regarding the role of misinformation in the war between Israel and Hamas. In particular, I hoped to ask the professor of international relations at the University of Illinois, and senior editor of Arc Digital , about misinformation that arose from American reporting on an explosion at a hospital in Gaza. You know what? I ended up repeating a bit of misinformation! I asked him to lay out the facts about a blast that “killed hundreds, including kids,” and he said nuh-uh (not his words). In fact, Professor Grossman said, “there never were hundreds killed by an explosion at that hospital. Media reported that the hospital was destroyed by an Israeli airstrike killing 500, but that was based on something a Hamas-controlled agency said and was never supported by evidence.” Professor Grossman went on to say “what apparently did happen is something hit a nearby parking lot and caused a smaller explosion, most likely a rocket fired from Gaza towards I

PA GOP Senate candidate who says he 'started with nothing' actually grew up in a mansion

Image
David McCormick, who is Pennsylvania's presumptive Republican U.S. Senate nominee, has often suggested he grew up poor in a rural community. But a new report finds that his upbringing was far more affluent than he's suggested. The New York Times reported Friday that McCormick — a former hedge fund executive who lived in Connecticut as recently as 2022 — has been cagey with voters about his childhood. McCormick has tweeted that he was "raised in Bloomsburg working on his family's farm," said on a 2022 podcast that he " started with nothing " and told CBS News that same year that he " didn't have anything " growing up as the son of two schoolteachers. But according to the Times , McCormick's father, Dr. James H. McCormick , was appointed president of what is now Bloomsburg University by Gov. Milton Schapp (D) in 1973. He moved his family into Buckalew Place — the official mansion for presidents of the school that currently spans 5

'It is his aphrodisiac': Ex-RNC chair explains how gag order 'stimulates' Trump and his base

Image
As President Donald Trump faces gag orders in two separate cases — one from Judge Arthur Engoron presiding over his New York civil fraud trial, and the other from Judge Tanya Chutkan, who will preside of his Washington, DC January 6 trial in March — some experts expect him to violate the orders soon. With a history of threatening and verbally attacking others, MSNBC's Deadline: White House host Nicolle Wallace on Tuesday pointed to the fact the ex-president's rhetoric influenced January 6 rioters who chanted, "Hang Mike Pence!" Noting Trump "gets deeply stimulated and excited by the violence," Wallace asked analyst and ex-Republican National Committee Chair Michael Steele what he thinks the MAGA hopeful's "calculation is on whether violating these gag orders lands him in jail is a good thing or bad thing for him." POLL : Should Trump be allowed to hold office again? Steele replied, "You put your finger on two very important words t
