Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) was very angry at Jen Psaki, former White House Press Secretary and current MSNBC host, for mentioning the possibility of Donald Trump dying one day.
People pointed out that Boebert publicly prayed for President Joe Biden to die in response to Boebert's comments about Psaki.
Boebert shared a post on X from MAGA influencer Joey Mannarino. Joey Mannarino Psaki appeared on MSNBC’s yesterday and talked about the motivations of some Republicans in Trump’s circle, which was included in the clip shared by Boebert. Morning Joe “They also assume, or have this thought in their mind that maybe Donald Trump will go away,” she said. “Maybe he’ll go to jail, maybe he will die. Not to be too morbid, but maybe – he’s not a young man.”
Boebert quoted former First Lady Michelle Obama, saying, “This is the same group of people who claim their motto is ‘When they go low, we go high.' I’d hate to see what low looks like if this is high.”
However, Psaki wasn’t expressing hope for Trump's death; she was discussing how others around him might be thinking about what would happen if he did die. This is different from Boebert, who prayed for the death of President Biden at the Charis Christian Center in Colorado Springs during their June 2022 Family Camp Meeting event. Boebert publicly referred to Psalm 109:8,.
which says, ‘Let his days be few and another take his office,’ while talking about praying for the President.
People brought this and Boebert’s long history of hateful statements up.
Is it taboo to talk about what would happen if Donald Trump died in office? Boebert said. “Psalm 109:8 says, ‘Let his days be few and another take his office.’”
