More than 400 congressional staff are calling on House leaders to “categorically reject the incendiary rhetoric” in the workplace following the recent ant-Muslim remarks by Rep. Boebert toward Rep. Omar.

in a video that surfaced online last month that Omar, who is Muslim and wears a hijab, was mistaken for a terrorist in an elevator both were riding in at the U.S. Capitol.

Omar immediately criticized the video as"bigotry" and said the event Boebert described never occurred. The Colorado Republican in a tweet the next day"to anyone in the Muslim community I offended" and said she reached out to Omar's office to speak with her directly., however, Boebert refused to publicly apologize, prompting Omar to abruptly end the call.

Boebert's rhetoric was just one recent example of aggressive, provocative attacks by GOP members of Congress against their colleagues. Rep. Paul Gosar, R-Ariz., was censured by the Democratic-led House last month over an anime video he posted that depicted him killing Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and assaulting President Joe Biden. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga.

“There is no HR on Capitol Hill for these staffers to turn to for help and that’s why they felt the only protection they can get is from the House leadership,” the aide said.Ayman Mohyeldin is an MSNBC anchor who has long reported on the Middle East and the Arab world.
