  • Lauren Boebert's 17-year-old son got his girlfriend pregnant, and she's excited to be a grandmother.

  • She now says she won't "nitpick" what the Bible says is right or wrong.

  • Boebert previously invoked God on various occasions when commenting on politics.

Rep. Lauren Boebert says she doesn't plan to "nitpick what the Bible says" about whether it was right or wrong for her 17-year-old son, Tyler, to get his girlfriend pregnant.

In a Thursday interview on "The Rubin Report," a conservative political talk show, host Dave Rubin asked Boebert if her son 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 told Rubin. "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."

Boebert added that she plans to teach her son "about redemption and how to move forward."

The Colorado Republican, 36, revealed that she will soon be a grandmother while speaking at the Conservative Political Action Conference on March 4.
