WASHINGTON (VINnews) — Lauren Boebert, the gun-toting Republican who recently had a contentious phone call with Ilhan Omar, has come under fire from another Squad member. AOC, along with other Democrats, are blasting Boebert for what they consider another offensive Tweet.

On Tuesday, Boebert shared a family Holiday photo of her four children posing with guns.
“The Boeberts have your six, @RepThomasMassie!” wrote Boebert, in a clear signal of support for Thomas Massie of Kentucky, also a gun enthusiast, who faced backlash for a similar photo last week.
“(No spare ammo for you, though),” Boebert added in her tweet.
Tell me again where Christ said “use the commemoration of my birth to flex violent weapons for personal political gain”?
lol @ all the years Republicans spent on cultural hysteria of society “erasing Christmas and it’s meaning” when they’re doing that fine all on their own https://t.co/TOKE1SmY4C

The backlash comes as Squad member Ayanna Pressley planned to introduce a resolution on Wednesday to strip Boebert of her House committee assignments, following a joke about Omar that many found offensive, linking the Muslim congresswoman with terrorism.
After a video of the joke surfaced, Boebert called Omar to apologize, but Omar hung up on her.
Omar said this past weekend she is confident Nancy Pelosi will take “decisive action.”
This is not the first time that Boebert has faced criticism from democrat colleagues over her antics. Earlier this year, she was criticised for a political ad showing her walking around the Capitol, verbally attacking Democrats, and ending with the sound of a gunshot.

I have a very simple rule that I follow, if the Democrats get bent out of shape about something, or if the הונט AOC and her co הונטלעך in Congress get bent out of shape about something, then it’s too bad on them and it must be awesome!
Guns are good and useful. If you don’t understand this, I hope you never have need of one. Because in that case the understanding will come too late.
To the enemy within the GOP,
AOC has shown complicity with Antifa, BLM and and flash mobs, rioters. Should the GOP, let them just take over? We will be nice and play by the rules, while they swallow the country from the outside with support on the inside.
BLM is the face of the liberal faction in the USA.
For once, AOC is correct.
Then again, even a broken clock is correct twice a day.
The GOP has become the party of lunatics and crazies. America needs a third party fast
Historically, ISIS, Al Quida and the terror PLO trained and paraded children with weapons. This is trump’s Republican gang today. Toward what insanity are they taking us? All this when trump’s chief of staff published that trump threatened to totally annihilate an Afghan town. That is a CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY.
