Top Dems ask her to resign

Did a US Senator, Governor, etc. do that though?

There are a few axioms to live by in American politics, even in this degraded age: All politics is local. If you want a friend in Washington, get a dog. Politics stops at the water’s edge. And, uh, don’t pray for the death of the sitting president of the United States.

At least, that last one seemed like common sense. Yet Senator David Perdue appeared to break the rule Friday morning. In his remarks at the Faith and Freedom Coalition’s Road to Majority conference, Betsy Woodruff reported, the freshman Georgia Republican encouraged attendees to pray for President Obama. According to Perdue’s office, he said:

I think we’re called to pray for our country, for our leaders, and yes, even our president. In his role as president I think we should pray for Barack Obama. But I think we need to be very specific about how we pray. We should pray like Psalms 109:8 says. It says, “Let his days be few, and let another have his office.”

As many people quickly pointed out, the quotation is not exactly a benign plea for a new president in its original context. Here’s a chunk of the psalm:

8. Let his days be few; and let another take his office.
9. Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.

Then I should have said any government official because that's what she is.

You have an example of one of those?

I can top any list of celebrities or random 'bloggers' making assassination remarks against Trump.

You can't name ONE elected government representative who said that about Obama.

Just did. Keep reading.

Where did he say he wants him to be assassinated as this lady did?

He didn't....

You're grasping at straws and finding none.
