Lauren Boebert faces calls from over 17K Christians to repent and resign

Over 17,000 Christians have called for Representative Lauren Boebert, a Colorado Republican, to resign and repent for reportedly wishing death to President Joe Biden indirectly during a recent sermon at a Dallas church.

Faithful America, an online community of Christians, posted a petition on February 8 that has been signed by 17,986 Christians as of Friday morning, calling for the GOP lawmaker's resignation. They plan to gather a total of 20,000 signatures.

The group, which aims to put faith into action to push for social justice, said that Boebert used a verse from the Bible that is interpreted as wishing death to someone, even though she claimed she meant impeaching Biden.
