Ilhan Omar
The Colorado Republican was caught on video twice suggesting Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) is a terrorist.
The Democratic congresswoman denounced Republicans who refuse to condemn Rep. Lauren Boebert's repeated anti-Muslim attacks against her.
“It’s embarrassing that there is any hesitation on this,” the congresswoman said, demanding that House leaders strip the Republican of committee assignments.
Republicans have not held the Colorado congresswoman accountable for her Islamophobic attacks against Rep. Ilhan Omar.
WHAT'S HAPPENING
The House minority leader "is so desperate to be speaker" that he's willing to overlook the violent targeting of women of color in Congress, the Democrat said.
The Denver Post editorial board slammed the conspiracy theory-endorsing Colorado Republican as "clearly incapable of remorse or reflection."
After Omar was called “the jihad squad,” GOP leaders are told: “Condemning this should not be a partisan issue. This is about our basic humanity.”
"She doesn't have a backpack, she wasn't dropping it and running so we're good," Boebert told a crowd in September.
The crackpot Republican won’t apologize for joking that Omar had a backpack full of explosives.
Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson said this type of behavior "has to be called out."
