In an undated video that went viral on Thursday, Boebert said that she was getting into an elevator with one of her staffers when a Capitol police officer rushed over to the elevator with"fret [sic] all over his face," trying to open the door as it was closing.Rep. Lauren Boebert speaks during a House Freedom Caucus at the Capitol in Washington, DC., Nov. 3, 2021.
"Fact, this buffoon looks down when she sees me at the Capitol, this whole story is made up," Omar tweeted on Thursday night."Anti-Muslim bigotry isn't funny & shouldn't be normalized. Congress can't be a place where hateful and dangerous Muslims tropes get no condemnation."Rep. Ilhan Omar speaks with a reporter as she leaves the U.S. Capitol Building on Nov. 16, 2021 in Washington, D.C.
Rep. Rashida Tlaib , another Muslim member of Congress, wrote on Thursday night,"These pathetic racist lies will not only endanger the life of @IlhanMN, but will increase hate crimes towards Muslims. The continued silence & inaction towards this hate-filled colleague and others is enabling violence. It must stop."One representative across the aisle, Rep. Adam Kinzinger , retweeted the video with the comment,"Boebert is TRASH.
Big mistake apologizing
Apology my ass. She should be kicked out of Congress
When will the voters in Colorado issue an apology?
Boebert…
This is not an apology 😡
Well, they let chipmunks into Congress....
Every time I see Bang Bang Barbie Boebert, I think she’s trying her hand at standup comedy in a smoky room at a truck stop in Reno. What an embarrassment.
Right...and she's SO sincere ..BS
She needs to be out of our government. And not just her!
😒
That wasn’t an apology to Omar. It was a vague “apology” to those she may have offended. Not even close
Fake apology. She then decided to make bigoted remarks against Sec. Pete.
That was not a very good attempt at an apology.
Rep Omar has also said some ridiculous statements
It's why the jails are filled with Black and Brown bodies. Not because we commit more crimes, it's because Whites run the system.
Trope police. That's not fair to most of the country who don't even know what a trope is. Yet, indeed, some tropes can be invidious.
Weak. Can’t even own her own words.
No reason to apologize, she made no mistake, she knew what she was going to say, she will do it again. She is not sorry for what she did or said.
The GOP problem is their party encourages racism & fascism. It's a party that thrives on hate. However they do love their guns. Open season has been declared on all minorities. Issuing a lame apology is useless because at the next opportunity they'll spew more of the same.
Lol no she didn't
Low bar for “apologies” these days.
It's nothing new. The Nation of Islam has dealt with this behavior since their existence but since they are Negro people it was ignored. Now you have immigrant Muslims who are the target and suddenly it's a big deal.
BrianBr16542791 I bet the “apology” was written by someone on McCarthy’s staff. She’s not sorry at all.
I really want to know what kind of 'Christian' Boebert is, because I don't want to be that kind of 'Christian.'
What was the “trope”?
Like Ilhan Omar apologizes for her Jewish comments. All of this is nothing but toxic.
Wasn’t much of an apology.
That’s wasn’t an apology.
Boebert, MTG, Gaetz and other marsupials of the GOP represent that large majority of racists and treasonists who have adult bodies, but same mentality as they had in middle school that majority of adult citizens never grow out of to develop and mature as an adult.
You are really going to accept that as an apology? SMH
This is not contrition. It's akin to getting an apology after you've been intentionally ran over. The damage is done, thus remedy MUST be assessed.
'Apology'
I saw several people testifying of how they made financial profits with the help of Kimberly Alexander from crypto trading, and I decided to give it a try and now I'm happy for getting my payout earning $15k profits from crypto trading. Dm her now thekimal and get started
Sure and Jesus was white.
Mark that day on your calendar! A right-wing fanatic apologizing for racist remarks is a once-in-a-blue-moon event.
boebert is TRASH
she is sorry she got caught and on video, nothing more.
apology is a generous word to describe the statement issued after laurenboebert went all racist so the crowd could get a laugh at her ignorant “speech”
I don't know why you apologize. In Muslim religion ilhan Omar would be stoned to death. She does not represent the Muslim community
It was not an apology though. Don’t pretend otherwise.
Apology? 🙄
How can members of congress keep their jobs for these types of behavior? Normal working Americans would be fired on the spot for some of the crap these elected members are doing. There has to be a better way of holding these representatives accountable.
Using twitter to make a non-apology is absolutely pathetic.
Did she though?
No she didn’t but nice trying to paint her as a normal person. abc is shameless.
She should be censored or kicked out of congress. Our congress is ridiculous.
Not accepted. Ever.
These two extremists better get out of Congress and not get re-elected in next year's midterm elections! They are all black sheep!😏😏😏
She can apologize all she wants, but this is who she is-a bigot.
You mean issued an 'apology'
She did nothing wrong. Now let's talk about 'some people did something' American hater Ilhan Omar.
Really want this party to be in control of the house in 2022.
No, it wasn’t a apology
