Rep. Lauren Boebert made headlines when she publicly called out her fellow lawmakers near the Capitol steps over a wave of sexual misconduct scandals hitting Congress. The 39-year-old congresswoman, clearly frustrated, told reporters that lawmakers should turn to their faith instead. “Yeah, go to church, find Jesus. Like, I mean, why is everybody so horny here?” she said before walking away.
Her comments came during a turbulent week in Washington that saw two members of Congress resign. On Tuesday, Reps. Eric Swalwell and Tony Gonzales both stepped down under heavy pressure following sexual misconduct accusations. Lawmakers from both parties had already begun pushing for formal resolutions to expel the two men before their resignations.
