“On Sunday, Boebert was invited to preach at Storehouse Dallas church in Texas. During her sermon, the election-denying, QAnon-touting, Christian-nationalist politician appeared to actually pray for Joe Biden’s death: “We pray for our presidents. You know, [the Bible] says, ‘Let his days be few and another take his office.’”
These words are especially chilling following January 6, the assault on Paul Pelosi, and other acts of political violence. A misguided supporter could easily take them as a divine blessing to attack the president.
Boebert claims she meant impeachment, but that’s an obvious ruse. Psalm 109 doesn’t just say “May his days be few” — it goes on to say, as Boebert surely knows, “May his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow!”
Jesus includes everyone and teaches love and peace, not death and political violence. Let’s call for Boebert’s resignation, and show that a nationwide Christian movement is sick and tired of right-wing politicians abusing prayer for power.” [efn_note]Faithful America, February 9, 2023 – Tell Lauren Boebert: Resign for praying that Joe Biden will die[/efn_note]
