Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) said this week that she is "truly" qualified to preserve U.S. freedoms because she is a Christian.
"My number one job is to secure the rights of Americans and make sure that they remain free. That is exactly why I'm here," Boebert told the Christian program Flashpoint on Tuesday. "I love freedom, not because I'm a Republican, not because I'm a conservative. I love freedom because Jesus set me free because I am a Christian."
"And so I truly know what it means to be free," she continued. "And that's something that I'm here to preserve for generations to come. And I will fight each and every day to do that."
While Boebert said she loved being free, she also recommended curbing freedom of the press.
"It's the American people that can start touching that freedom of press," she explained. "It's the American people who can say, I am not listening to you anymore. I'm not turning your channel on. I'm not reading your paper. I'm not subscribing to your subscription. And that is how they will be the most impacted, is when it starts hitting their wallets."
Boebert has previously suggested God directed her to impeach President Joe Biden.
