Yahoo Finance GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert Catches Hell For Biblical Quote About Secrets
Rep. Lauren Boebert’s (R-Colo.) tweet of a biblical passage about secrets could come back to haunt her, critics predicted.
On Wednesday, the conspiracy theory-endorsing lawmaker shared Luke 8:17, which in the Bible’s New King James Version reads: “For nothing is secret that will not be revealed, nor anything hidden that will not be known and come to light.”
“For nothing is secret that will not be revealed, nor anything hidden that will not be known and come to light.” Luke 8:17

Tweeters mockingly suggested Boebert ― a Donald Trump acolyte who often self-owns on the social media platform ― may have been talking about her alleged involvement in the planning of the Jan. 6 insurrection, as reported by Rolling Stone on Sunday. Boebert denied the report.
Other detractors proposed what they suggested were more suitable Bible verses.
I wish lawmakers wouldn’t invoke scripture 🙄

Proverbs 6:16-19 – For there are six things the Lord hates—no, seven: haughtiness, lying, murdering, plotting evil, eagerness to do wrong, a false witness, sowing discord among brothers.

So you must be talking about the events of January 6.
And you are right.— Artie Vandelay (@ArtieVandelay1) October 27, 2021
So, you’re saying your role on 01.06.2021 will come to light?

So you support the January 6 Bipartisan Committee investigating the Insurrection

Of course scripture in the mouth of the snake still sounds like hissing. https://t.co/OqxRXwUeLq

Yep that’s right, and the false prophets and antichrists that are talked about in the Bible, like yourself, @laurenboebert, are revealing themselves on a daily basis. https://t.co/cZttsDULMV

Love this. Does this represent acceptance that what you did is going to come to light soon?
If so, we'll pray for it to turn out as best it can for you and pray the judges will have compassion and understanding. 🙏— Shawn Riegsecker (@ShawnRiegsecker) October 27, 2021
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is hilarious. First, that you think tweeting a Bible verse makes you a “Christian” (no more than standing in a garage makes you a “car”).
Second, looking forward to you learning the truth of sad verse the hard way.
Enjoy! 🔥🔥— Dave (@philly_2chitown) October 27, 2021
Remember this verse when all the details of January 6th “come to light”!

Totally true. You’re in trouble.

So, is this passage some kind of cryptic message admitting your involvement with Jan 6th?
