MINNEAPOLIS – In a possible publicity stunt, Rep. Lauren Boebert, who’s been arrested multiple times in her checkered past, claimed she wanted to apologize to a Minnesota Congresswoman for hateful remarks, but instead doubled down, prompting a hang-up during a phone call between the lawmakers.
“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,” Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhad Omar said in a statement Monday about a phone call she accepted from Colorado Congresswoman Lauren Boebert, known for her bombastic rhetoric and gun-toting ways.
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.
“I believe in engaging with those we disagree with respectfully, but not when that disagreement is rooted in outright bigotry and hate.
“To date, the Republican Party leadership has done nothing to condemn and hold their own members accountable for repeated instances of anti-Muslim hate and harassment. This is not about one hateful statement or one politician; it is about a party that has mainstreamed bigotry and hatred. It is time for Republican Leader McCarthy to actually hold his party accountable.”
Boebert, according to the Denver Post, has been arrested three times and has engaged in crude behavior, fought police and caused her neighbor to fear for their life due to her aggressive pit bulls.
Meanwhile, Omar has been the subject of numerous accusations from Republicans for alleged lack of support for Israel, her personal beliefs, and her personal life.

Hey, ignorant ass, Islam isn’t a race, it IS a religion.
oh the name calling makes you feel superior.
A former Kamala Harris staffer says aides have to endure ‘a constant amount of soul-destroying criticism.
The idiots who support her as dumb as ROCKS !!
So, she has a beef with her and doesn’t like her. That sounds like an angry woman. Boebert and Taylor-Greene are the face of the political right and that should be scary to any rational person. If those point are the point men, imagine what they are leading the party to. If that is ok with you, then you need to move to another country.
Who’s holding NIT responsible for their skewed cut n paste Marxist crap.
O yeah 90% who respond to it. Thank God Iowa is RED STATE !!
How about holding the media accountable for their lies and innuendos?
I think NIT has done this. Look into the nearly-dead Globe Gazette that no one can find anymore, at which hardly anyone even has a job. Or KIMT. NIT held them accountable numerous times. They left town. BOOM.
Mainstream media stopped being journalists years ago. They are an extension of the dem party and spew propaganda.
Articles like this are proof of their propaganda.
The key word there is “think” which means you really don’t know.
Time for the school shootings and terrorist attacks to start back? I wonder why every time the democrats take the country this crap starts back up.
I know. During trump’s time there were no terrorist attacks or school shootings. Gosh, the good ol days.
Liberals have no boundaries. The way Sinema was treated with the harassment and filming in a bathroom is all the proof you need to see that.
sinners.
When will we call a spade a spade? Omar’s interests lie strictly with her own people, and their ability to take over. She has no place in government other than federal prison.
Ha ha ha. One could say the same about Boebert and Greene
And Nancy, Chuck, AOC……..
Possibly, but one thing is for sure, Boebert or Greene won’t cut your head off in the name of Alah.
they would in the name of trump and he would endorse them again and again.
You calling Trump an Islamic fiend
No, just a fiend.
not feeling your usual racist today? hope you get better they miss you

Hey, ignorant ass, Islam isn’t a race, it IS a religion.
Well,,,,Islam is actually more of an ideology…a Stone-Age, ignorant, bloodthirsty ideology.
