“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.” 1
During a breach of normality, Representative Lauren Boebert (R-CO) shouts out during President Joe Biden’s State of the Union speech, “You put them, in 13 of them!” President Biden was speaking about how many American troops stationed in Iraq and Afghanistan developed cancer from exposure to burn pits through the toxic fumes the pits emitted.
Not only was she out of line, but she also sat quietly when 21 of our bravest military were killed during Trump’s first year in office. 2
Even though the death count was even higher, the twenty-year war continued and was never put to an end by Trump. Trump made many promises about ending the war, but he never did!

Lauren Boebert’s family is no prize in ethics and morality. “In January 2004, when Jayson Boebert was 24, he was arrested for exposing himself to two young women at a Colorado bowling alley. His future wife Lauren Roberts (as she was then known), who was 17 at the time, was also present and was told she was no longer welcome at the bowling alley.” 3
“The 34-year-old lawmaker, who beat her district’s very conservative Rep. Scott Tipton in a primary upset last June, has a rap sheet unusually long for a member of Congress.” 4
“After she again failed to appear at an October 2016 court appearance, a warrant was issued for her arrest. In February 2017, she was again arrested and booked into jail on a failure-to-appear misdemeanor charge in that case. In 2010, Boebert and her husband, Jayson, lost their then-home in a foreclosure case and were later evicted. That same year, Boebert was cited for violations to the Garfield County Animal Code for allowing her pit bull dogs to remain at-large without proper licensing. Two years later she was the subject of a civil case filed by Capital One Bank, which won a $1,516 judgment against her, a debt that wasn’t ultimately settled until five years later in 2017, court records show. Court records also show that from 2011 to last year, Boebert had been cited for numerous traffic offenses in Garfield, Clear Creek and Larimer counties, including speeding, following too closely to another vehicle, driving with expired license plates and several citations for failure to use a seatbelt and failure to use proper child restraints.” 5
