Lauren Boebert Refers to 'President Biden', Calls it Freudian Slip

Republican Representative Lauren Boebert said she'd made a "Freudian slip" after accidentally referring to "President Biden."

The Colorado politician was speaking on Wednesday at a dinner in Tennessee, hosted by the Knox County Republican Party.

A video of the event that surfaced on Twitter showed Boebert referring to "President Biden" before quickly backtracking.

Boebert has been one of the most vocal Congressional supporters of Donald Trump's claim that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from him by fraud.

On December 24 2020 she tweeted: "I am very tired of hearing about fixing election fraud going forward.

"An election just happened. There was fraud. Fix that one first!"

PatriotTakes, a Twitter account with over 460,000 followers which claims to be dedicated to "exposing right-wing extremism," noted the expression "Freudian slip" is usually "used to explain a subconscious desire."

Trump is continuing to insist the 2020 presidential election was won by "fraud and election interference," and in August demanded a "new election" that could reinstate his as president.

These claims have been repeatedly dismissed in court and by independent election experts.

On January 6, 2021 Congress was stormed by hundreds of Trump supporters, attempting to stop the 2020 presidential election being formally certified.

On Friday the House committee investigating the January 6 attack summoned Trump to appear before it, either in person or by video link.

A letter sent by the committee to the former president said: "You were at the center of the first and only effort by any US President to overturn an election. You knew this activity was illegal and unconstitutional."

A lawyer for Trump hit back, accusing the committee of "flouting norms."

The subpoena was issued just hours after Steve Bannon, formerly Trump's chief strategist, was sentenced to four months in prison and handed a $6,500 fine for refusing to appear before the committee. Bannon has said he plans to appeal the ruling.

During the same dinner on Wednesday Boebert told guests she believes humanity is "in the last of the last days" with the "second coming of Jesus" on its way.

She said: "It is an honor to serve in this time. I believe that many of us in this room believe that we are in the last of the last days and that's not a time to complain, that's not a time to grumble, to be dismayed, to be disheartened, but a time to rejoice. You get to be a part of ushering in the second coming of Jesus."

The remark was condemned by anti-Trump conservative group The Lincoln Project, which tweeted: "Christian or not, Lauren Boebert cannot adequately represent any constituent who does not believe in this end times prophecy.

"Can you really have someone making decisions on your behalf that thinks nothing they do now will matter?"

Newsweek has contacted Lauren Boebert's team for comment.
