US politician is seriously claiming that Jesus could have stopped his crucifixion if he had an AR-15

Approximately 700 people have been killed in gun crimes since the Texas mass shooting

A Christian politician in the US has completely missed the irony after suggesting that Jesus would've survived his crucifixion if he was armed with a gun. Attending the Charis Christian Centre in Colorado Springs on Saturday, June 11, American lawmaker and Republican congresswoman Lauren Boebert addressed the use of semi-automatic weapons. https://twitter.com/patriottakes/status/1536848987361366022?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1536848987361366022%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.unilad.co.uk%2Fnews%2Flboz-us-politician-says-jesus-stopped-crucifixion-if-he-had-ar15-20220615 "They like to say, 'Ah, Jesus didn't need an AR-15! How many AR-15s do you think Jesus woulda had?'" she said, dubbing those individuals as "little Twitter trolls." Boebert added: "Well, he didn't have enough to keep his government from killing him, so…" Supposedly missing the irony, the crowd laughed. https://twitter.com/patriottakes/status/1535771933165363200?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1535771933165363200%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.unilad.co.uk%2Fnews%2Flboz-us-politician-says-jesus-stopped-crucifixion-if-he-had-ar15-20220615 The lawmaker continued to suggest she had been praying for the death of US President Joe Biden. "I do want you to know I pray for our president," the 35-year-old said. "Psalm 109:8 says, 'May his days be few and another take his office'." Boebert has been trending on Twitter ever since activist group American Muckrakers PAC alleged that the congresswoman has a history of sex work and numerous abortions. While the left is not slamming the Boebert for the alleged acts, they have branded her a "hypocrite." https://twitter.com/IAmPoliticsGirl/status/1537167517755396096 "According to our investigation, Boebert was hired by a wealthy male client in Aspen, Colorado, who was a Koch family member. Boebert's rich client subsequently introduced her to U.S. Senator [Ted] Cruz to run for political office," a press release from the PAC read. The group also claims that she received $136,250 from senator Ted Cruz for her campaign while failing to disclose $70,500, reports Newsweek.
