Lauren Boebert Reported to FBI Over Sick Tweet About ’Terminating’ Biden’s Presidency

Seems like every week Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) gets reamed by Twitter users, but this time she’s not just getting reamed, she’s getting reported to the FBI. And for good reason, because her “terminate this presidency” worried a lot of folks. As it should. It’s stupid and frankly, disgusting.

It looks like Boebert was trying to mock Biden when he accidentally said “presidency” instead of “pregnancy.” He was discussing abortion rights now being restricted now that the Supreme Court has overturned Roe v. Wade.

Biden was referencing one particularly upsetting case, Newsweek reports.

“Just last week, it was reported that a 10-year-old-girl was a rape victim in Ohio — 10 years old — and she was forced to travel out of state, to Indiana, to seek to terminate the pregnancy and maybe save her life,” Biden said on July 8.

So of course Boebert tried to be cutesy because that’s her 24/7 — and she tweeted “We need to terminate this presidency. End quote. Repeat the line,” a clear reference to Biden accidentally reading the teleprompter commands.

Lauren Boebert reported to FBI over Biden tweet: ‘We need to terminate this presidency’

Her dumb tweet has led to literally dozens of social media users reporting it to the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security, and the Department of Justice, claiming it is inciting violence against Biden.

“Why is Boebert not in custody? She is making threats,” wondered Twitter user colabyrd6250.

Newsweek reports it is awaiting comment from Boebert and the FBI.

Another Twitter user, TDemocrat65 wrote: “FBI add my tweet to the growing list of tweets asking you to investigate Boebert for her comment most of us perceive as a threat directed at POTUS.”

“If you incited violence toward the President of the United States, you’d be arrested,” Twitter user @AvengerResister wrote. “Lauren Boebert has once again crossed the line.”

The left-leaning social media group Occupy Democrats is calling for others to push for an FBI investigation, tweeting: “RT [retweet] IF YOU THINK THAT THE FBI MUST LAUNCH AN INVESTIGATION INTO BOEBERT.”

This isn’t the first time critics have worried about Boebert’s anti-Biden remarks.

When she appeared on June 11 at the Charis Christian Center Family Camp Meeting in Colorado, she quoted Psalms as she referred to Biden.

“I do want you to know that I pray for our President,” she told the audience. “Psalm 109.8 says, ‘May his days be few and another take his office.’ Hallelujah!” Glory to God.”

That led former Democratic congressional candidate Russell Foster to tweet shortly after: “So Lauren Boebert is praying for the death of President Biden at a church camp in front of the campers. How very ‘Christian.’ That she gets wooed and applause for it is even viler.”

I hope the FBI takes this seriously. Boebert is not a well woman.
