Adam Kinzinger slammed Lauren Boebert for saying she was 'tired' of the separation between church and state

Lauren Boebert said that the church is supposed to direct the government and that she was tired of the two institutions being separated.

There is nothing different between the two. We need to oppose the Christian Taliban. Kinzinger shared an article about Boebert's statements and said he was a Christian.

Boebert spoke at the Cornerstone Christian Center. Boebert said that the church complied with the regulations.

She said that the government is not supposed to direct the church. Our founding fathers did not intend that. I'm tired of the separation of church and state junk that's not in the constitution, it was in a stinking letter, and it means nothing.

The letter Boebert referred to was written by Thomas Jefferson in 1802, in which he wrote that the American people had built a wall of separation between church and state.

Congress can't make laws respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise of religion.

Jefferson's letter interpreting the Constitution has been the basis for the concept of separation of church and state for a long time.

The Taliban is an Islamic militant group that imposes a harsh rule on its subjects due to its leader's fundamentalist views of the Quran.

Kinzinger and Boebert's representatives didn't reply to Insider's requests for comment.
