The Huffington Post reports:
Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) has, again, appeared to pray for the demise of President Joe Biden. In a sermon streamed by the Storehouse Dallas church in Texas over the weekend, Boebert preached politics to attendees, repeating comments that attracted fierce backlash last June. “Joe Biden’s president. We don’t know what to do, Lord!” Boebert said. “It’s all right, we pray for our presidents. You know, it says, ‘Let his days be few and another take his office.’” The audience was heard laughing after the remark.

Longtime JMG readers will recall that Psalm 109, known as an “imprecatory prayer,” was regularly used by Christians against President Obama.
The Christian site Got Questions notes that such prayers are meant to “invoke evil upon or curse one’s enemies.”
Psalm 109 reads, in part:
Let his days be few; and let another take his office. Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow. Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places. Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the strangers spoil his labor. Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favor his fatherless children.
A church congregation cheered as Lauren Boebert said she prays for Joe Biden’s demise: “May his days be few and another take his office.”
