Lauren Boebert Folds Like a Cheap Suit Over Her Ilhan Omar Joke and Is About to Learn a Painful Lesson About Apologizing to Radical Dems – Opinion

The Colorado Republican returned to her district over Thanksgiving. During a meeting with constituents, she cracked a joke about Ilhan Omar, a Minnesota Democrat.

Boebert was able to express this sentiment:

The other night on the House floor I had my first “Jihad Squad” moment.

With one of my staff members, I was in an elevator. We are both leaving the Capitol to go back to our offices. Then we board an elevator. A Capitol Police officer is running toward the elevator. His face is covered in sweat. He’s reaching…the door’s shutting, I can’t open it. What’s happening? Ilhan Omar is standing to my left. And I say well, she doesn’t’ have a backpack, we should be fine.

Although the joke may be mildly amusing, Ilhan Omar, a House Democratic member, is perhaps more vile than most. This makes it much more funny. Omar has minimized the 9/11 attack (“some people did something”) and has succeeded in making anti-Semitism protected speech in the Democrat caucus. That’s just her public policy side. The rest of her life is an abominable train wreck. To effectuate immigration fraud she married her brother, bailed one of her campaign advisors (this seems like a common thread), and steered just a few hundred thousands dollars in campaign funds to his firm. They then lived together in blissful adultery, abandoning their families. Somehow, the FBI has managed to avert its eyes from this sh**storm because it is too busy pursuing trespassers and using “friendly” interviews to indict GOP Congressmen.

Omar wasn’t amused. On Twitter, she whined, “Fact, this buffoon looks down when she sees me at the Capitol, this whole story is made up. It’s sad that she believes bigotry is what gives her power. 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.” Later she sniveled, “It is not a joke to say that I’m a suicide bomber. @GOPLeaderAnd @SpeakerPelosimust take the appropriate actions. Normalizing bigotry in any form is dangerous for my own life and that of others. Anti-Muslim bigotry has no place in Congress.”

Beobert gave up at mid-afternoon yesterday. In a pathetic tweet, she apologized to Muslims who may have been offended (ISIS and al-Qaeda did not respond to requests for comment) and said she was “reaching out” to Omar’s office, presumably to apologize.

Anyone in the Muslim community that I have offended by my comments about Rep. Omar, I sincerely apologize. I reached out directly to her office. Without being distracted, there are many policy differences that we can focus on.

Perhaps I’m being uncharitable, and Boebert came up with this boneheaded idea all on her own, but it isn’t hard to see Kevin McCarthy’s hand at work in something so ill-thought-out. Omar is known as a bully, and was responsible for Marjorie Taylor Greene being removed from her assignments to committee. As I opined in my original post, a blind man could see that Omar would push for Boebert to be “censured” and stripped of committee assignments. McCarthy is lacking the huevosTo fight with the Democrats and to make a show of his strength, McCarthy is also trying to portray himself as a tough fighter, since he hopes to be Speaker in 2023. McCarthy may have thrown Boebert under a bus and directed her to make an apology tour so that the Democrats wouldn’t treat her as they did Marjorie Taylor Greene, Paul Gosar.

They still believe in leprechauns if anyone thinks that this is going to work.

It didn’t take long for the left to start screaming about bigotry and islamophobia because, you know, carrying a suicide bomb is something that every Muslim does, and blowing yourself up to kill innocent people is deeply ingrained in Islamic culture. For the idiots at MMfA and Mediaite, that’s a joke, Scooter.

Jake Tapper, who was allegedly the boss of the mob, is the one that conservatives claim they have a man-crush because he DMs and tweets their stuff. This makes them feel better than complete losers.

This anti-Muslim bigotry goes against everything the USA stands for. This is unacceptable in American politics, and it is a charge against those who are silent. https://t.co/b5dNprwG2n

About the time Tapper was winding up the “we’re better than that” conservatives and the online left, Omar’s fellow socialists were pitching in.

Commentaries on Islamophobia made by @RepBoebertThey are both morally repugnable and potentially dangerous. Rep. could be subject to even more death threats if this rhetoric is continued. @IlhanOmar and her loved ones. This is inexcusable.

Leaders of the House Democrats also released a statement l’affaire Boebert.

“Racism and bigotry of any form, including Islamophobia, must always be called out, confronted and condemned in any place it is found. Particularly true for the Congress Halls as these are the core of our democracy.

“Congresswoman Boebert’s repeated, ongoing and targeted Islamophobic comments and actions against another Member of Congress, Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, are both deeply offensive and concerning. These words and actions are completely unacceptable and in violation of the Constitution’s requirements that Congress act within the House with integrity, dignity, decency and respect for our constituents. We ask Congresswoman Boebert not to make similar comments in the future and to retract her remarks.

“Leader McCarthy and the entire House Republican Leadership’s repeated failure to condemn inflammatory and bigoted rhetoric from members of their conference is outrageous. We call on the Republican Leadership to address this priority with the Congresswoman and to finally take real action to confront racism.”

I have no problem with Boebert’s joke. It’s too bad that President Trump isn’t holding a rally and borrowing it so that it gets a wider audience. Omar should be ridiculed and mocked at all costs. The fact that we don’t isn’t a sign that we are morally superior, but rather it is a sign that we are led by a bunch of happy losers who would prefer to pick up the crumbs from under the Democrat table than win. Boebert made a joke about Omar’s work, but you must plan ahead and be aware of the possible consequences. When Omar made her first tweet about Boebert’s fear of looking at her, Boebert should have directly challenged her. What you can’t do is go after one of the most powerful Democrats in the House in a way that accentuates her well-documented support for Islamic terrorism and imagine a) that word of the joke will not leak out and b) deceive yourself that you are not in a dogfight.

If, as I suspect, McCarthy was the guiding hand behind Boebert’s apology, it underscores his lack of fitness for any leadership position. This should have been used to inform the Democrats that, if they continue in their nonsense, when he is Speaker, he will remove several Democrats from their committee assignments for each Republican who has been treated this way. This is my last post about this topic: Marjorie Taylor Greene. Paul Gosar. 2022 and The Chicago Way. Instead, he seems to have deluded himself into thinking that the Democrats would leave Boebert alone and not officially retaliate if she apologized rather than them using her apology for wrongdoing and McCarthy’s failure to discipline her as a campaign fundraising pitch.

The Republic of Ireland is currently in serious crisis. On the brink of regaining enough power to stop the onslaught, we are in crisis. The Senate and the House are filled with many tough warriors. But, unfortunately, without the leadership, who and how many people we elect doesn’t make a damned bit of difference. The fact that the GOP has not risen to Boebert’s defense against the dishonest accusations of “islamophobia” and whatever shows just how far we have to go to deserve to be a ruling party.
