Ilhan Omar will know better next time than to get into a match of wits with Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert after the attractive, amusing, and articulate GOP House member cleaned her clock during a recent exchange.
FNC: Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado had a tense phone call with Rep. Ilhan Omar on Monday that centered around Boebert’s recent controversial remarks about the Minnesota Democrat.
The phone call ended with Omar hanging up after both congresswomen demanded each other issue public apologies for past remarks, Boebert said in an Instagram video Monday. Boebert said she organized the call with Omar because she ‘wanted to let her know directly that I had reflected on my previous remarks.’ ” Here is Omar’s version. Mostly lies.
“Today I graciously accepted a call from Rep. Lauren Boebert in the hope of receiving a direct apology for falsely claiming she met me in an elevator, suggesting I was a terrorist, and for a history of anti-Muslim hate,” Omar said in a statement.
“Instead of apologizing for her Islamophobic comments and fabricated lies, Rep. Boebert refused to publicly acknowledge her hurtful and dangerous comments. She instead doubled down on her rhetoric and I decided to end the unproductive call.”

Boebert shoots back with deadly aim. “Now as a strong, Christian woman who values faith deeply, I never want anything I say to offend someone’s religion. So I told her that. Even after I put out a public statement to that effect, she said that she still wanted a public apology because what I had done wasn’t good enough. So I reiterated to her what I had just said,” Boebert continued.
“She kept asking for a public apology so I told Ilhan Omar that she should make a public apology to the American people for her anti-American, anti-Semitic, anti-police rhetoric. She continued to press and I continued to press back. And then, Representative Omar hung up on me.” Boebert had recently made fun of the antisemitic Marxist, hence the kerfuffle. They ran into each other in an elevator.
“I look to my left and there she is: Ilhan Omar. And I said, ‘Well, she doesn’t have a backpack. We should be fine.” On another occasion Boebert quipped, “I looked over and I said, ‘Oh look, the jihad squad decided to show up for work today.’ ” Well played, Boebert.

Oh how I love a good cat fight…..
Well done Lauren Boebert; I commend your standing up for your values and not backing down from terrorist omar. This woman’s got more balls than all these two face weak and pathethic Rinos.
When one talks down to the people they are sworn to serve , said everything one needs to know about them . Being a Muslim only add to the dislikes of one . Specialy when they praise them over the country and people their supposed to serve . Their personal religion is not to be taken to work . It’s for the worship of faith , not ones job . Keep them apart and it wouldn’t be a problem . This is not a Muslim country , stop trying to make it one or move to a Muslim country . Then you will feel at home where you have no rights as a women . Guessing thats why their here so they can have that freedom we give to all that live here weather you be male or female . So stop abusing this privilege that is giving you and stop using your race card . Makes one look like a racist
America should NEVER allow a foreign born person be a part of our government. Everyone can see she is a jihadist and hates America. Send her back to her country and see how she will be begging to come back to a free country. I can’t see how even the demon-rats want her in their party…well I guess birds of a feather flock together.
In a 200 year period, there have been 548 Jihad battles vs. 12 crusades. Let’s face it, Jihadists have a better PR group than the Crusaders.
Ya’ll know what needs to be done, Git r Dun. The Whole Global Cabal deserves dirt naps. NCSWIC, WWG1WGA. Love Lauren Boebertt!!!
“Jihad Squad” is a perfect name for the unholy foursome, Omar, Cortez, Pressley and Tlaib.
Everything that comes out of Omars mouth is treasonous and or Racist she should be tarred and feathered and road out on a rail. But a more fitting punishment would be to hang her for treason, everything she does apposes the best interests of the American citizens.
Founding Father and the 2nd President, John Adams wrote, “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to a government of any other”. No wonder democrats and muslims want to change it.
She sure is a pistol who supports pistols!
She hung up on Boebert because the TRUTH “hurts and CAN’T be tolerated”….
Lauren Boebert should remind Ilhan Omar that Omar is in the United States illegally and under false pretenses. As a Muslim, the immigration law of the United States banned entry to the United States because Islam would not recognize that the US Constitution had to be Supreme Law of The Land.
She right Omar is a terrorist she’s hell bent on destroying American way of life to drag it in the gutter
Yeah Lauren Bobert congresswoman from Colorado Well Said …. every one is so sensitive …. maybe if make me ILL han Omar wasn’t such a piece of garbage as a representative of her constituants and actually had respect for our country and its laws and loved this country instead of tearing it down maybe she would have a gripe against Bobert …. She may not be wearing a back pack but Omar is trying to undermine our great country to be like the pile of crap place she immigrated from … If you don’t love America leave it we wont miss you one bit ILL han Omar
Inbred , brother banging , towel head Omar , hates OUR country and should not even have a seat in OUR House of Representatives !!!!
Do you trust Biden, PERIOD?!! HELL NO!!
its time someone told this anti-american, anti-semite how disgraceful her rhetoric is. And the voters of Minnesota who put this person into office should be ashamed. She needs to be censured and her fellow politicians need to have the guts to do it instead of fearing being call anti-muslim
Thank you Lauren Boebert for your bravery & humor !! I am so glad you did not back down from the threats of this SQUAD member, They have not had enough opposition to their disgusting attacks on America and it is time they were challenged !!! I wish we had more like you and Ms.Greene !!!
Who to believe here, an American patriot, or an ungrateful immigrant traitor?
