Rep. Lauren Boebert confused 'wanton' with 'wonton,' a Chinese dumpling, while reading a passage from the Bible: video

Lauren Boebert confused the words "wanton" and "wonton" while reading from the Bible.

"wanton killing" is a word from Romans that means reckless killing. She said it was like the Chinese dumplings.

The video of the slip-up was posted on Wednesday.

Boebert mispronounced the word from the Bible and the crowd laughed. I will have to look that one up.

Boebert was speaking at a conference. The pastor co-founded the organization.

The slip-up with "gazpacho" and "Gestapo" took place earlier this year. In February, Nancy Pelosi was accused of confusing a cold Spanish soup with the Nazis' secret police.

Boebert's gaffe made people laugh online.

One person wrote that Wonton killing was a shameful abuse of the civil right.
