Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado apologized to"anyone in the Muslim community I offended" on Twitter Friday after video surfaced of her making anti-Muslim comments last weekend about Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota.
In the video, posted last Saturday on Facebook from an event that day, Boebert implied Omar had been mistaken for a terrorist in an elevator on Capitol Hill. "So the other night on the House floor was not my first jihad squad moment," Boebert told a crowd."I was getting into an elevator with one of my staffers and he and I were leaving the Capitol, we're going back to my office and we get in the elevator and I see a Capitol Police officer running hurriedly to the elevator.
She apologized unlike Dems and cnn (and msnbc) that goes on and on and on and on and on with the same lies.
Everyone knows that only Omar can make racist comments and get away with it
She never actually apologized to Ilhan. She said everything while saying absolutely nothing. Qbert is an embarrassment. ExpelLaurenBoebert
She should have. Still waiting for members of the squad to apologize for all their white hate and antisemitic racist comments. When hell freezes over.
Beebop head- Easy to apologize after she already got her thoughts out to get supporters
RepBoebert thinks that by apologising all is forgiven. NO. It is how she feels and what she said is so concerning. She deliberately made that statement. She has to do a lot of introspection and soul searching. politico thedailybeast
Not good enough!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Republican Hate
Everyone but omar 🤣🤣🤣
Will Ilhan now apologize for all the mayhem she continues to cause with defunding police and her anti-Semitic remarks? I kind of doubt it.
You’ve offended way more than just the muslim community. Your words are dangerous and inexcusable!
Don’t say she apologized. She didn’t. Weak coverage
It’s not enough
Just because someone throws something toward me doesn't mean I have to catch it. Apology not accepted.
Why are our tax dollars still paying this woman? She should be unseated ASAP, along with Gosar and MTG!
Soooo in other words 'I'm sorry I got caught' ?
How about: I was stirring hate in my audience to feed their addiction to hate and the adrenaline rush it brings. I don’t care who gets injured or killed because of my words because I crave the rush of attention and cheering. If that bothers you, too bad. That would be too honest
She’s just taking a break, from playing with tRumps balls.
A real apology admits one was wrong. She's only sorry the video got out.
In our little town here in 🇨🇦 one of our town Council Members put an emoji beside a comment on FB. It was commented on at a Council meeting about it being 'improper conduct' she was investigated by the integrity com, made to apologize publicly at Council and on FB!
Blah blah blah......she meant exactly what she said
Still trash I used to think being a member of Congress meant you had to be smart. I laugh at myself for ever thinking that
I would like an investigation on how this woman Omar entered the country. Coming soon!
I am not muslim..
Lower than trailer trash.
Recall Boebert
I only clicked on this to see if all of you liberals are suddenly “offended” and clutching your pearls after much worse things were said about the former President and his family. Did not disappoint. 10/10. Will recommend to my friends. Your hypocrisy is showing.
The human race has evolved so much, but yet so little progress has been made. The number of ignorant people is astounding. Especially in the government. And that's because they get their hand slapped & not fired like in the real world. Government officials should be fired too!
Her apology is not sincere. She said what she said. She got her 10 minutes of fame that she wanted. She got praise from trump that she wanted. The apology is as FAKE as she is.

True .
Irate does not even come close to how I feel about Boebert. More like incensed.

As a european I read everywhere 'that's not who we are'. So it's pretty straight forward at this point, you just have to vote these pieces of human garbage out. If not, well, at some point, it is propably safe to assume that It is what you are. GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER!
I am tired of the hate in this country! Especially coming from the politicians. People forget we are a country of immigrants. If you don’t like it then live elsewhere!
When you see a skunk, you expect it to stink. She apologized because she had to. She didn't mean a single word of it. Also, she apologized to the Muslim community but not directly to Rep. Ilhan Omar who was the direct target of her trash talk. Deplorable
Why isn’t anyone also talking about how she flat out lied about the encounter to begin with?
As an Islamic and anti-white extremism sympathizer, IlhanMN is probably laughing deviously inside. Has she even mentioned the Waukesha massacre yet?
Her apology is meaningless and totally disingenuous
Isn't America is American's?
Its too bad she isn't sincere with her apology. Resigning from her seat would be a more believable apology. It's not like her racists opinions have changed, she should step down, and admit, America has no place for racists.
Lauren is just another angry white woman.
lol what's the big deal?
Did GOPLeader call you laurenboebert and tell you apologize for the sake of apology?
So If the Video ' Didn't ' surface would you be making the same Apology?
Sorry but you can’t take things back like that by apologizing. True colors. Nice try
Remove her from Congress. Hate is not allowed !
Ilhan Omar should thank her lucky stars she wasn’t gunned down in cold blood by this gun toting Annie Oakley.
Ilhan never apologized for saying “some people did something” about 9/11 though, did she?
Omar could take Bobart down anytime. Personally, I would pay to see it.
Not enough
Fair enough, now its Omar's turn to apologize to America for her antisemitic rant against Jews. She further should apologize to the people of Israel for accusing them of oppressing Palestinians when they are attacking Israel. She is a Islamist & hates America
Who exactly in the Muslim community did she NOT offend? FFS this is NOT an apology.
America, wake up to the propaganda spewed by Fox, Newsmax, and OAN which enable terrorist Nazi's like Boebert to attack Muslims in the same way Hitler attacked Jewish people to gain power. Wake up and smell the damn Covfefe! Boebert and company are illiterate Trump shills.

RepBoebert It's so obvious.
Lipstick on a pig…
She got slammed. The Only reason she apologized
I would hardly call that an apology.
Boebert has no intention of stopping her lashing out and demonizing Muslims. When it suits her, she go after Jews and liberal to moderate Christians. It’s only evangelical fundamentalists that she deems worthy.
You are a Muslim by belief and practice, not origins, Muslims know Ilhan Omar is just a puppet to collect naive muslim votes for Dems.
Perfect non apology
It’s anti Muslim to poke fun at marrying your brother?
Not seeing any tweeters sticking up for you there BoBo.
Apologies not accepted.
Can't put the toothpaste back in the tube....just sayin'.
Appreciate her apology, IlhanMN has apologized for NOTHING, including “something happened” comment. I find that more offensive! NeverForget
The fact that Boebart is a Rep. is offensive! I don’t believe her apology to the Muslim community!
Lauren really is the bottom of the barrel.
Wonder who made a private phone call to Boebert and told her to apologize? If the video had not surfaced, do you think Boebert would have apologized ? What has Boebert done for her constituents in Colorado?
At least she admitted to it.. no ilhan should admit to being an antisemite
The joke is what's happened to the Republican party
Gosh, she is more of a woman than IIhan Omar. Rep Omar never apologized.
Yeah, no, I don't accept her apology.
Why is she apologizing? She meant every damned word. To be honest, I have no respect for the “HoBo” chick. I would have more respect for her if she said”I meant every word.”
Can we stop demanding an apology from people who use racial and sexual pejoratives when they are caught , because majority of them aren't really sorry.
It has been several years since any GOP has been sincere about anything they say.
She may have apologized, but she will not stop it. CNN should adopt conscious design to follow this up (see if she stops), so we are not left with errant impression of a human side. Too much normalizing of GOP on CNN these days.
Ok I feel better, it wasn’t intentional 👍🏼
Made feeble attempt at an apology unsuccessfully
Taliban gas
Boebert is ignorant trash! Republican part represents hate..
GOP Boebert Muslim I don't think Boebert offended any one in the Muslim community. I think she offended everyone in the Muslim community. Is it really too much to ask our elected representatives to show even a tiny bit of respect and dignity? Is it?
Sorry i didn't realize anyone was going to share that video. GOPLeader , you and Lauren are still cool, right?
LaurenBoebert is horrible.
But Omar can do and say whatever she wants. Republicans are so weak
laurenboebert everyone was offended but hole
Boebert, Green and Gaetz seem to be competing in the “Stupid shit coming out of my mouth” of the week award. In my mind, they’re all winners. 😕
'I'm sorry the video went viral'
