lhan Omar Brags That Nancy Peolsi Will Strip Lauren Boebert of Her Committee Assignments and She’s Probably Right – Opinion

Lauren Boebert, a Colorado Republican was home for Thanksgiving. While talking to a hometown crowd, she used the vile Islamist representing Minnesota’s Fifth Congressional District as the punchline for a joke. Why more people don’t do that is baffling, but I digress. This is how I described the incident in my post titled The Left Goes Bonkers Over Lauren Boebert’s Hilarious Mocking of Anti-Semite and Terrorist-Simp Ilhan Omar.

Omar is an especially vile person. She is a terrorist simp who hasn’t found an Islamic terror group she can’t condone (Ilhan Omar Proves President Trump’s Point When She Refuses To Say She Does Not Support al Qaeda; DISGUSTING. Ilhan Omar refers to US Troops During The Black Hawk Down Battle As Satan. Ilhan Omar Will Be the Keynote Speaker at Fundraiser For Terrorist Linked Organization.

This goes as far as referring to the attack on the United States on September 11, 2001, as a day “some people did something.” Her support for jihadi violence against Israel and her bone-deep anti-Semitism is likewise well established (Pelosi Dodges, Ducks, Dips, Dives, and Dodges Question About Ilhan Omar’s Anti-Semitic Statements; Nancy Pelosi and the Left Close Ranks to Defend Nutbaggery and Anti-Semitism).

In her personal life, she entered into an incestuous marriage with her brother (Allegations Regarding Omar’s Curious Marriage ARE Credible (That’s Why You Haven’t Heard Much About Them))…hopefully, for the purposes of immigration fraud…married a couple of more times…and just a year ago, she ditched her husband for a new boyfriend, a ‘political consultant’ to whom her campaign had steered several hundred thousand dollars; he simultaneously kicked his wife to the curb. See Ilhan Omar Named as “the Other Woman” in What Promises to Be a Very Ugly and Entertaining Divorce.

Boebert said this:

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

One of my employees was helping me get into 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.

Predictably, allegations of racism and islamophobia were tossed about like New Year’s Eve confetti. It seemed that Boebert had been taken to the woodshed, by Kevin McCarthy, as I am assuming (see 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).

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

Predictably, the “outreach” effort went much as you might have imagined (see The ‘Reach Out’ Phone Call Between Lauren Boebert and Ilhan Omar Did Not Go Well).

Shocker, right? I’m sure you are gobsmacked that a terrorist-simp like Omar would let a perfectly good “racism” attack go away because of an apology. Then, it was off to the races.

Full video: Lauren Boebert’s just said she talked to Ilhan Omar and refused a request for a public apology. Boebert told Omar to apologize and ended up being hung up on, calling it “cancel culture 101.”

Three days after I reached out to her Friday, I was able connect to her by phone. I called her because I wanted to tell her that my earlier remarks had been corrected. Now as a strong Christian woman who values faith deeply, I never want anything I say to offend someone’s religion. She agreed. Even after I put out a public statement to that effect, she said that she still wanted a public apology, because what I had done wasn’t good enough.

She asked me to repeat what I said. Elle kept asking me for a public apology. Ilhan Omar asked me to apologize publicly for her anti-Semitic and anti-police remarks. And she continued pressing, while I continued to push back. Then, Representative Omar gave up on me. To reject an apology or to hang up on someone else is part cancel culture 101, and a pillar for the Democrat Party.

McCarthy was confronted with this issue last Friday at a press conference. This struck me as sort of strange as a lot of water had gone under and over the bridge by that time, and a spat between a GOP member and a detestable harpy like Omar shouldn’t be on anyone’s list of “must discuss” topics.

This brings us to the weekend. Here is Omar on Jake Tapper’s little show on CNN talking about conduct that is “unbecoming.” Keep in mind; this is a woman who defended the 9/11 terrorists, who is a rabid anti-semite, who married her brother to (we pray) facilitate immigration fraud, who entered into an adulterous relationship with a campaign consultant to whom her campaign funneled a few hundred thousand dollars, so she probably should just sit this one out. Also, watch how Tapper stokes the fire, much like he did at his odious “town hall” meeting after the Parkland school shooting, where he permitted a string of vicious personal attacks on Senator Marco Rubio and Dana Loesch.

TAPPER

OMAR: Yes. I mean, what…

TAPPER: What’s your reaction to McCarthy and how he described it?

OMAR: Yes.

McCarthy is both a lie and a coward. He doesn’t have the ability to condemn the kind of bigoted Islamophobia and anti-Muslim rhetoric that are being trafficked by a member of his conference.

TAPPER: Why doesn’t he have the ability to do that?

OMAR: Because this is — this is who they are.

They must not be allowed to take advantage of us. We must force them to face the reality that they are promoting anti-Muslim bigotry.

She then makes a threat.

TAPPER: It’s deplorable.

And we should note — and I’ll spare you the sound bites, but this is not the first time that Congresswoman Boebert has targeted you with these bigoted comments, any number of examples. She’s called you a terrorist, blackhearted, evil.

It’s not a one-off joke to her. This isn’t just one errant moment. This is the pattern.

How should Nancy Pelosi and the Democratic Leaders respond to these issues?

OMAR: I think of — the most dangerous thing that she has recently said is that we have a problem in Congress because there’s a terrorist.

And I think, once you sort of invoke that kind of language, you put not just my life, but the lives of my colleagues as well, in danger, because we don’t know who’s out there. The people who are leaving these voice-mails that are saying, “We are taking up arms, coming to the Capitol to protect our country from a terrorist,” are not people that we should dismiss. They’re not joking.

And I think it’s important for us to say, this kind of language, this kind of hate cannot be condoned by the House of Representatives. And we should punish and sanction Boebert by stripping her of her committees, by rebuking her language, by doing everything that we can to send a clear and decisive message to the American public that, if the Republicans are not going to be adults and condone — condemn this, that we are going to do that.

I’ll just point out that I predicted this would happen in my original post on the Boebert/Omar spat.

There is no denying it. Omar, among other things, is a bully. Marjorie Taylor Greene was stripped of her assignments by Marjorie Taylor Greene (House Democrats move to boot Marjorie Taylor Greene from committee assignments and GOP pretends to retaliate). The little left fascists are demanding Boebert’s removal from her committee assignments. Omar received a very sad message, so it is not surprising that House Democrats will demand that Boebert go.

Kevin McCarthy and House Republicans will meekly support Boebert’s punishment, as they did with Marjorie Talyor Greene or Paul Gosar. They have lost any right to request our support (Marjorie Taylor Greene, Paul Gosar 2022 and The Chicago Way).

You might be wrong if you believe this trend is over. Today, Rachel Maddow’s blog, the eponymous MaddowBlog, brought the issue up again: McCarthy gives Boebert credit, but Pelosi could not.

In other words, GOP officials and leaders aren’t bothered by bigoted rhetoric from Boebert and her cohorts; they’re bothered by the fact that Boebert and her cohorts have caused political problems for the party.

Republicans will often overlook those who denigrate a minority faith tradition. They’re far less inclined to give members a pass for creating a distraction that ended up pitting Republicans against one another.

…

Democratic leaders could have another plan. In fact, as Politico reported, Omar told CNN’s Jake Tapper yesterday she’s “very confident” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi will take “decisive action” against Boebert.

“As you know, when I first got to Congress, I was worried that I wasn’t going to be allowed to be sworn in because there was a ban on the hijab,” Omar said. “She promised me she would take care of it. She kept her promise. She’s made another promise to me she will take care of this, and I believe her.”

Keep an eye out for this video.

Boebert should be punished, I believe. First of all, Democrats realize they are deep in doo-doo. The Democrats were unable to win Black votes and hemorhaging Hispanic vote in November 2021’s election. Punishing Boebert for “islamophobia” helps the Democrats go back to their old “Republicans are racist” playbook. By the way, the only islamophobia here is the left believing that a suicide bomber is a well-known stereotype of a Muslim and that poking fun at Omar’s history so supporting terrorism is also linked to her being Muslim. Boebert will be punished because the left knows Kevin McCarthy is an idiot who won’t protect his family. He’s shown that repeatedly and this time will be no exception. He could bring this bullsh** to a speedy close by letting Pelosi and Hoyer know that he will be Speaker in the next Congress and do to their members what was done to his. He won’t, and they know it. They will also punish Boebert because Nancy Pelosi needs Omar’s support. Omar is a crucial member of the so-called “Squad,” which consists of anti-American leftists. Because Pelosi’s governing majority is so small, she often can’t pass bills without their support. That gives them power, and Pelosi can’t afford to offend her.

Even in good times, the House of Representatives has its moments. It gets worse when poor leadership is added to the mix. If, as the polls suggest, the GOP retakes the House in 2022, the GOP caucus should look long and hard at its leadership and decide if they want a back-slapping, go-along-to-get-along type as Speaker and as Majority Leader or if they want warrior and leaders who can not only tame the Democrats but demand respect from their own party.
