Rep. Lauren Boebert revealed on Thursday that she had become a grandmother at the age of 36.
Boebert appeared on Sean Hannity’s Fox News Channel program and was asked by the host what was going on between her and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene.
The two MAGA darlings got into a fight on the House floor, with Greene calling Boebert a “little b***h.” according to The Daily Beestconfirmed Greene’s reporting.
“Sean, I didn’t put my life on hold and leave my four boys and my now grandson alone to come here and just get into fights with people,” Boebert told Hannity, revealing her grandmother status. “I came here to legislate and to be effective for Coloradans, Coloradans who are suffering from the policies of the Democrats. Marjorie is not my enemy. Joe Biden’s policies, the Democrats, that’s my enemy I’m fighting now.”
In March, Boebert revealed that her 17-year-old son Tyler had impregnated his girlfriend and they were expecting a son.

So I’m going to tell all of you in a public setting for the first time that not only am I a mom of four boys, but I’ll be a gigi to a brand new grandson in April. And Jason and I are so excited to welcome this new life into our family,” Boebert said at one Moms for America event.
Boebert told the crowd there’s “something special about conservative rural communities” — because fewer pregnant teens are aborting their fetuses compared to those who live in cities, studies show.
“The percentage of teen mothers is higher in conservative rural areas because they understand the preciousness of a life about to be born,” said Boebert, who opposes abortion.
A 2019 study from the American Journal of Public Health suggested that teen birth rates are higher in rural areas due to “local conditions that limit unintended options for pregnancy management.”
Since the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision in June to overturn Roe v. Wade, a number of red state lawmakers have passed increasingly restrictive abortion laws.
However, Boebert’s home state of Colorado remains one of only six states where abortion is still legal at all stages of pregnancy.
Additionally, Data from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicates that teenage mothers are much less likely to complete their secondary education than those who do not have children.

Only about 50 percent of teen moms graduate from high school by age 22, compared to 90 percent of women who don’t give birth during their teens.
A teen mother herself, Boebert dropped out of high school during her senior year in 2004 when she became pregnant with Tyler, her oldest.
She had three more sons, including Kaydon’s birth in 2009, which took place in the front seat of her husband’s pickup truck. and made local news.
She completed her GED before being elected to Congress in 2020.
The Republican from Colorado joked about being a young mother in her speech to Moms for America.
“Now, any of you who have young children giving life, there are some questions that come up. There’s some fear,’ she said.
Now my son when I approached him and said to him, “Tyler, I’m going to be a 36-year-old grandmother.” He said, ‘Well, didn’t you make grandma a 36-year-old grandma,'” Boebert told the crowd. “I said, ‘Yes, I did.’ He said, “Well, then it’s hereditary.”‘
“Nice try, friend,” she added.
Boebert is anti-abortion and also rejects the teaching of sex education in schools.
Speaking at the Conservative Political Action Conference in March, she warned that some schools teach “worse than just gender ideology.”
“They have comprehensive sex education,” she said. “They teach kids how to have and enjoy sex, and even same-sex sex, how to enjoy themselves.”
“This is not something elementary school students should be learning, not every student in a public school,” she continued. “These are the things we should pursue and reduce their funding,” Boebert added.
