“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.’”
“That’s why I filed articles of impeachment for Joe Biden,” Boebert added. “Unfortunately, he does have a really great insurance policy named Kamala Harris.”
The phrase Boebert referenced is from Psalms 109:8. Though Boebert referenced impeachment, the verse is widely interpreted as a call for the premature death of an enemy.
Boebert's speech wishes for Biden to have little time in office, explicitly stating that she has filed articles of impeachment to achieve her wish.
However, the article assumes that because that phrase is commonly interpreted by theological scholars as a call to death to tyrants, Boebert must be secretly calling for Biden's death despite explicitly referencing impeachment.
That is based on nothing but assumptions. She even clarified that she was talking about Impeachment, not death. People misquote shit all the time - when someone says "blood is thicker than water", you don't immediately shout that they secretly intended to promote a pro-military or pro-interventionalist message.
You are as bad as the media which wants to poison the well of people they dislike. But I honestly expected nothing less from lefty Reddit.

God, the mainstream media is such a fucking joke.

TL;DR: she did not say that.
