Rep. Lauren Boebert says UFOs are biblical fallen angels and Nephilim
Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) said UFO sightings documented in recently released government files are demonic fallen angels and the Nephilim from the Bible. Boebert cited biblical passages about fallen angels and Nephilim and linked those scriptures to files declassified under President Donald Trump, arguing the phenomena reflect demonic activity rather than extraterrestrial life. The remarks raise questions about whether religious or conspiratorial frameworks will influence how Congress interprets and oversees unidentified aerial phenomena.
Rep. Lauren Boebert weighs in on the government's release of UFO files, saying aliens are actually "fallen angels and Nephilim" from the Old Testament: "I do believe that this is more spiritual and, if you really want to go there, demonic."
Christ these people are morons.
That filter is working overtime.
insane video filter there we really underestimate how much of MAGA is driven by the belief in demons these people literally think Democrats are possessed by demons and they are in a holy war
I want to live in a world where this shit is immediately disqualifying. Oops, you've lost access to the internet for one year of introspection.
Adults who still believe in magic are in high government positions.
Oh for fucks’ sakes. Always a good sign when a Rep records videos about god and aliens from inside a luxury car. This is all normal and doesn’t bode ill for anything.
Does she believe she needs to cover her hair or else the demons might get to her? The early church did This belief persisted until after the Salem witch trials
Conservatives like to call everything demonic.
OK, so Boebert is a barking idiot. But what's with the RFK Jr. fake tan & the...unusual...eyebrows? Are we looking at another Mar-a-Lago Face in progress?
The Biblical and dictionary definition of a demon is: A malevolent being. The entire Republican Political Party is a tribe of demons.
I just posted that she is a fucking idiot, but in reality she is just a huckster. Doubt she believe this slop. Just a way to fuck over a bunch of maga rubes for money. So whatever.
What are her hands doing?
The folks who wrote the Bible didn't even know where the sun went at night. But HEY@ equipped with electron microscopes and space based telescopes and all manor of advancements in physics and astronomy, let's go back to THEIR perspective on all the major issues of today.
That's the same lunatic belief JD Vance has. These Republicans are fucking nutcases.
She’s wrong - Nephalem are beings described as the “offspring” of angels and demons, possessing traits from both. The Fallen were thrown out w/Lucifer. The Watchers left on their own & couldn’t return. Both mated with mortal women. Maybe know what you’re talking about before ya open your mouth.
Shit like this is why aliens don't want anything to do with us.
So they can release UFO files but not EPSTEIN FILES 🖕🏼🤬
This is the apotheosis of a few American pathologies: - unfounded belief in UFOs - absurd religious nonsense - staged political internet videos (Why is she in a car?)
Who would’ve guessed that Boebert is a kook? 🤫
Fucking morons, every last one of them.
She's extremely stupid and her opinion is completely worthless
I see she's been coordinating with Vance.
Bobo is so ridiculously ignorant and stupid.
Hey Lauren, forget all the non-biblical mythology that doesn’t matter and focus on the actual Word. You know love your neighbour (that includes immigrants), help the sick (no matter how sick), feed the poor (yes even if they’re aren’t white), and all that

Hello, Rep. Lauren Boebert, could you please point us to the footage showing a demon? Then we'll know exactly what we're looking at! 😁
Hey #CO4 district constituents, you really still want this freaking Bobo-the-clown representing you????? For "god's" sake, vote her the hell out in 2026!
Uh, yeh..... I'd suggest lil missy Boebert go back to her pole dancing.
Do they think the Aliens identify as White? 🤨
It’s fucking insane that this person is an elected official with the ability to dictate laws to us. Her, the teleporting asshole, it’s all absurd.
It was so nice when I forgot she existed
I'm not taking theological counsel from this creep, thanks.
What did she do to her face?
