WASHINGTON (VINnews) — Ilhan Omar, anti-semitic member of the socialist “Squad”, refused to accept an apology from Congresswoman Lauren Boebert. In fact, Omar hung up on her Republican colleague, who reached out sincerely to make amends, days after she told a joke that some people found offensive.

Part of the friction stemmed from the fact that Boebert asked Omar to apologize for being an anti-semite, however Omar apparently refused to do so.
In a video posted on social media, Boebert recounted Monday’s call, saying, “I first reached out Friday and three days later I managed to get her [Omar] on the phone. I wanted to let her know directly that I had reflected on my previous remarks…I never want anything I say to offend one’s religion, but even after I made a public statement to that effect she said that she still wanted a public apology, and I told her that she should make a public apology to the American people, for being anti-American, anti-semitic, and anti-police.”
It seems there was an error uploading this video to Twitter.

Boebert added, “Rejecting an apology and hanging up on someone is cancel-culture 101, and a pillar of the Democrat party. I will always put America first and never sympathize with terrorists. Unfortunately Ilhan cannot say the same thing.
“This is not about religion, it’s about the horrible failed Democrat policies and anti-Americanism that I will call out every time I hear it.”
The call comes several days after Boebert’s joke was spread on a social media video, in which she told a (fictitious) story about an encounter with Omar.
“So the other night on the House floor was not my first jihad squad moment. So I was getting into an elevator with one of my staffers…and I see a Capitol Police officer running hurriedly to the elevator,” Boebert said.
“I see fret all over his face, and he’s reaching… The door’s shutting, like I can’t – I can’t open it – like, what’s happening? I look to my left, and there she is. Ilhan Omar. I said, ‘Well she doesn’t have a backpack, we should be fine,’” she said, followed by laughter from the crowd.
This past weekend, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), another prominent Republican, tweeted that Omar and “the Jihad Squad are undeserving of an apology.”
“Never apologize to Islamic terrorist sympathizers, communists, or those who fund murder with our tax dollars,” Greene tweeted.
Omar is a Jew hating terrorist supporter and the entire democratic party support and defend her.
Why even apologize to this racist piece of garbage
Boebert is guilty of stupidity. But Omar openly supports and endorses terror. When the Dems call her out on that, we can continue the conversation.
Omar is chucky shomer israel schumers favorite
Thees people always mistake kindness to weakness, ask the Israelis, the only thing they respect is power
Omar and her squad are nothing but drek, save your apology.
Lauren Boebart is an ignorant woman who has done nothing as a legislator. She tweets outrageous comments and uses the public’s outrage to raise money for her campaign. Her goal is to incite America’s rabble. She is not the ideal person to criticize another member of Congress who makes incendiary comments to rile her opponents. Both the Republican and Democratic leaders should call out these members of Congress when make outrageous statements.
Omar should be slow
Your biased stand on this issue is quite wrong. It is shortsided to support Boebert on this issue. Boebert’s comments were not “a joke” they were racist plain and simple. If you tolerate racism when it suits you others will tolerate racism against Jews when it suits them. Boebert’s apology was hardly that. Any unbiased person can see that even in your misguided reporting above.
It shocks me that there are people defending this idiot Boebert. Since when do two wrongs make a right. Indicating to someone who is Muslim that they are a suicide bomber is racist and she should be called out on it. Yes the democrats should call out Omar for what she says, but that doesn’t give someone the right to say disgusting things about someone else.
Dov Hikind got this right. Hikind realizes that racism is always wrong and if not confronted will come back to hurt us chalilah
