Highly controversial Colorado Republican House Rep. Lauren Boebert found herself buried in furious and well-deserved backlash recently, sparked by deeply disturbing remarks she made when addressing a church audience, telling the crowd that she regularly prays that President Joe Bidenโs โdays be few and another take his office.โ
The clip of Laurenโs disturbing church speech quickly went viral across social media, first being shared by the popular Twitter account Patriot Takes, and it appears to show the controversial congresswoman delivering a religious sermon to a church audience, fueled by political vitriol and hate-filled attacks against her political foes.
The sermon reportedly took place at a conference at the Storehouse Dallas Church, with Boebert bellowing to the crowd, โGod said that he was the provider. I know that Jesus said that he, that we would be blessed. But I just donโt know about this month.โ
โAnd Jesus is right there at the table with you. Saying, what kind of conversation is this? Why are you talking like this? And why are you sad? Jesus, donโt you know weโre out of money? Covidโs hit. They shut everything down. Joe Bidenโs president.โ
It actually gets worse, though, believe it or not.

โWe donโt know what to do, Lord. Thatโs all right,โ Lauren continued. โWe pray for our presidents.โ
Laurenโs blowhard speech finally wrapped up as she declared, โYou know, it says, โLet his days be few and another take his office.โ Thatโs why I filed the articles of impeachment for Joe Biden. Unfortunately, he does have a really great insurance policy named Kamala Harris.โ
A church congregation cheered as Lauren Boebert said she prays for Joe Bidenโs demise: โMay his days be few and another take his office.โ
Boebert then called Kamala Harris, Joe Bidenโs โgreat insurance policy.โ pic.twitter.com/KzqT2RFdYb

The Patriot Takes Twitter account noted in their thread of the clip that Congresswoman Boebert was quoting Psalm 109:8 in her makeshift sermon, which they say is โclearly about praying for the death of an enemy in office,โ as the Bible verse in question further reads, โLet his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.โ
The verse Lauren Boebert referenced, Psalm 109:8, is clearly about praying for the death of an enemy in office.

It is worth noting here, though, that Boebert clearly referenced Bidenโs impeachment from the presidency in her speech.
Whatever specific intent Laren Boebert did or did not have with her remarks here, itโs far from the first time sheโs made them. Back in June 2022, the Right-wing Congresswoman made almost identical remarks during a rowdy speech at the Family Camp Meeting at Charis Christian Center in Colorado Springs.
The backlash that ensued from Laurenโs sermon frankly came as no surprise to pretty much anyone:
Boebert is no Christian.

Lauren Boebert appeared to pray for the death of President Biden in a sermon streamed by a church in Texas. The audience was heard cheering & laughing. Boebert referenced Psalms 109:8 which is a call for the premature death of an enemy. Bobo is a POS! #TaxTheChurches #morningjoe

I was in Twitter jail for a week because Megyn Kelly got butt hurt that I called Malaria a skank but Lauren Boebert can pray for President Biden to die and not be banned from Twitter for wishing violence on our President. Make me understand that.

If anyone had any doubt about removing/eliminating the Tax Exemption for churches and religious organizations, then watch the video of Lauren Boebert telling a church congregation to pray for Bidenโs death, and the congregation cheering!! Absolutely Disgusting!!! pic.twitter.com/kVej0Jp4Tt

Clearly, class is a thing of the past among the Right-wing of the American government.
