Controversial Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) went viral on Monday after a recent clip of her addressing a Church and praying that Biden’s “days be few and another take his office” made the rounds on social media.
The clip, shared online by the account PatriotTakes, shows Boebert giving a type of religious sermon infused with political attacks.

“We don’t know what to do, Lord. That’s all right,” Boebert continued, “We pray for our presidents.”
“You know, it says, ‘Let his days be few and another take his office.’ That’s why I filed the articles of impeachment for Joe Biden. Unfortunately, he does have a really great insurance policy named Kamala Harris,” Boebert concluded.
PatriotTakes noted that Boebert quoted Psalm 109:8, which they argue is “clearly about praying for the death of an enemy in office.”
“Let his children be fatherless, and his wife
Reactions online largely condemned Boebert for her choice of words. “A church congregation cheered as Lauren Boebert appeared to wish for President Biden’s death: ‘May his days be few and another take his office!’” replied Brian Tyler Cohen.
