Boebert Apologizes After Ilhan Omar Attack

There is no love lost between Rep. Boebert (R-CO) and Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN).

Boebert has managed to grab some headlines recently for her “Jihad Squad” attack against Omar.

The floor speech was one thing, but Boebert got in big trouble for comments made during a local appearance and shockingly, she has apologized for them.

Here Comes the Censure…

During the Thanksgiving break, Boebert told supporters a “story” of an encounter between herself and Omar that allegedly took place at the Capitol on an elevator.

Boebert cracked a joke that hinted that Omar was a suicide bomber.

Well, Omar struck back that the incident never happened, literally calling Boebert a coward in the process.

Additionally, Boebert got slammed by numerous media outlets, which characterized her comments as bigoted and anti-Muslim…

Boebert immediately issued an apology trying to cut this off before it got any momentum, stating, “I apologize to anyone in the Muslim community I offended with my comment about Rep. Omar.

“I have reached out to her office to speak with her directly.

“There are plenty of policy differences to focus on without this unnecessary distraction.”

Now, we all know how this ends up.

Omar, who has made her fair share of outrageous comments, can say whatever she wants without repercussion.

It is probably an even-money bet right now that Boebert will be censured and have her committee assignments stripped away by House Speaker Pelosi (D-CA).

The bottom line here is that Republicans just need to be smarter about this nonsense and bite their tongue right now.

While Democrats are in charge, they know that any misstep will be blown up and portrayed as a racist attack.

Right or wrong, Boebert has allowed Democrats to create a narrative that will slow down the momentum Republicans have right now and that is a critical mistake at a critical time.

We will keep our eye on this to see how Pelosi reacts, but as I stated above, it is a pretty safe bet that Boebert is about to join the ranks of Reps. Gosar and Taylor Greene in those GOP members in the House that are no longer permitted to sit on committees.

And all the president can offer are more lies.

Inflation ⬆️ more than expected.

Overall CPI: +6.4% y/y

Year-over-year real wages have been negative for 22 months - ever since Biden forced through his $1.9 trillion "stimulus."
