- The Colorado Republican, 36, revealed at CPAC earlier this month that she would become a grandma by age 37
- Dave Rubin of the ‘Rubin Report’ asked the conservative firebrand if her son getting his girlfriend pregnant ‘challenged’ any of her beliefs
- Boebert was a teen mother and dropped out of high school in 2004 when she had her first son, and went on to receive her diploma in 2020
Rep. Lauren Boebert opened up about her 17-year-old son’s girlfriend’s pregnancy, saying she doesn’t want to ‘nitpick’ about sins but plans to teach him about ‘redemption.’
The Colorado Republican, 36, revealed at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) earlier this month that she would become a grandma by age 37.
Dave Rubin of the ‘Rubin Report’ asked the conservative firebrand if her oldest of four sons Tyler getting his girlfriend pregnant ‘challenged’ any of her beliefs.

‘Obviously, I’m a Christian, and there are standards that we like to uphold, but none of us do it perfectly,’ she said. ‘We can nitpick what the Bible says is right and wrong, but I think just having that heart posture of wanting to serve God, it’s so important.’
She added that she and her son would go over ‘redemption and how to move forward.’
Boebert told a crowd of CPAC conservatives earlier this month: ‘I’m going to tell you all for the first time in a public setting that not only am I a mom of four boys but come April, I will be a ‘gigi’ to a brand new grandson.’
She used the occasion to praise teen moms who don’t have abortions.
To Rubin she explained her son would be the third generation of teen parents in the family.
‘My mom—she was 18 when she had me. I was 18 when I had Tyler, and now he’s 18. One of his first comments was, ‘Mom, it’s hereditary.’ I said, ‘Nice try. Doesn’t work that way.’ But I’m really proud of him and my grandson’s mom for being responsible, because they could have taken a different route, and both of them chose life,’ she said.

Boebert added of the young couple’s choice to forego abortion: ‘It wasn’t anything I had to browbeat them with, I very calmly had the conversation when we found out, just let me know if you think something else, I just want to have a talk with you if you decide to go a different direction, and both of them were very excited and wanted to move forward and welcome this life into the world.’
Boebert revealed her son had planned to attend the University of Florida after graduating high school but with a baby on the way would instead take petroleum engineering classes at a local community college.

Boebert was a teen mother herself, having dropped out of high school in 2004 when she had her first son, the one who is now expecting a child. She earned a GED certificate in 2020, just before winning her first primary.
The right-wing congresswoman has often invoked God in her political ethos, saying last June she was ‘tired’ of the separation of church and state.
‘The church is supposed to direct the government, the government is not supposed to direct the church,’ she said at the time. ‘That is not how our founding fathers intended it. And I’m tired of this separation of church and state junk that’s not in the Constitution, it was in a stinking letter, and it means nothing like what they say it does.’
