Now we finally see what this is all about. People who are critical of Congresswoman Boebert actually agree with the things that Ilhan Omar says.
I wish everyone could come clean about their true beliefs like this. It helps to understand where they're coming from.
That's quite a stretch there.
Let's say that I don't necessarily agree with what she says.
That doesn't mean I have to agree that its anti-Semitic either.
Are you one of those "critical thinkers" I keep hearing about on this forum?
Lauren Boebert is nothing but a bully. Cheered on by many of the Conservatives on here, who by this action have shown themselves to be bullying worshippers!

People don’t always say what they actually mean.
That is why reading between the lines is a useful skill on these forums.

Crickets, so far.

Boebert, on a Joe Pags show---among other times--- claimed state sponsored terrorism by politicians in USA and by AOC and Omar, in particular. Among other slurs she used the phrase “politicians with suicide belts strapped to their body.” Video link below.
Boebert has repeatedly made targeted Islamophobic comments against Omar.
O.K., thanks for the videos and I was wrong, corpgypsy was right and provided the videos.
JIhad squad comment, so what? It went right along with the manufactured story.
The comment about suicide belts, was talking about all politicians, not sure what you point even is with that statement?

She and the others of her ilk are not worthy of the positions they hold.
Now, my question to you is: Since this type of language is used by those you support towards other within congress, why are you not calling them out for the same thing? Do you think saying impeach the MF is also "ignorance and behavior are beneath the standard of integrity, dignity and decency of a member of Congress"?
Or are you not worried about language as long as it's not addressed to those in congress?

Boebert was on the Fox channel with Laura Ingraham and Ingraham suggested that Boebert and Omar have a live debate. They could have moderators to keep things professional.
Boebert said that she would be very open to debating Omar in a public forum. I really don't see a downside to this idea. But I would bet money that Omar wouldn't even consider debating Boebert.

What’s the point? They aren’t running against each other and don’t represent the same constituents.
Omar repeatedly refers to her Republican colleagues, as well as, their constituents as "white supremacists" and she did this as she called for the defunding of the police, egging on "peaceful protesters" to burn/loot/terrorize their cities as some sort of misguided expression of racial equality.
She's dangerous and unhinged and she's using the fact that she is a Muslim to cow her own party into doing nothing about it. She's a bully and an inciter who appears to want some kind of race war. Her defund the police rhetoric has thankfully lost all traction and gone up in flames.
Newsflash Omar: There are lots of people of all racial groups who are law abiding, conservative republicans and that includes those who are Muslim Americans.
