Rep. Omar hangs up on Rep. Boebert after tense phone call

Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado had a tense phone call with Rep. Ilhan Omar on Monday that centered around Boebert's recent controversial remarks about the Minnesota Democrat.

The phone call ended with Omar hanging up after both congresswomen demanded each other issue public apologies for past remarks, Boebert said in an Instagram video Monday.

Boebert said she organized the call with Omar because she "wanted to let her know directly that I had reflected on my previous remarks."

"Now as a strong, Christian woman who values faith deeply, I never want anything I say to offend someone's religion. So I told her that. Even after I put out a public statement to that effect, she said that she still wanted a public apology because what I had done wasn't good enough. So I reiterated to her what I had just said," Boebert continued.

"She kept asking for a public apology so I told Ilhan Omar that she should make a public apology to the American people for her anti-American, anti-Semitic, anti-police rhetoric. She continued to press and I continued to press back. And then, Representative Omar hung up on me."

Omar issued a statement blaming Boebert for how the call unfolded and confirming that she ended the conversation.

"Today I graciously accepted a call from Rep. Lauren Boebert in the hope of receiving a direct apology for falsely claiming she met me in an elevator, suggesting I was a terrorist, and for a history of anti-Muslim hate," Omar said in a statement.

"Instead of apologizing for her Islamophobic comments and fabricated lies, Rep. Boebert refused to publicly acknowledge her hurtful and dangerous comments. She instead doubled down on her rhetoric and I decided to end the unproductive call."

Like Ben Shapiro says apologizing only gives them a victory and they will continue to attack.

I have absolutely no problem eyeballing a moslem to see if that bulge is a suicide vest, gun or knife. It is called a survival skill.
No one questioned why moslems carried box cutters onto aircraft on 9-11.
No one questioned why a moslem carried a firearm to the observation deck of the Empire State Building and shot it up.
No one questioned why a moslem, in Moore OK, demanding co-worker convert to islam suddenly cut off the head of an elderly woman there.

When someone in San Bernardino DID SEE SOMETHING they failed to report it as they did not want to be called “Racist.”
14 people died when the moslem man and woman shot up the place where they worked.

In older episodes the Zebra killer black Moslems in SF back in the 1973.

Newest, Waukesha Wisconsin a few days ago. A Black moslem nation of islam, ran down people at a Christmas Parade.

They never ever learn and I really like Lauren too..I know that Majorie Taylor Greene would NEVER EVER apologize..there was NOTHING to apologize for, what she said is 100 percent accurate..notice Omar will NEVER say she’s sorry for all the HORRIBLE things she has said in the past, because she is smart enough to know the second you say “Im sorry” the other side wins..she knows it, a shame that Boebert never figured it out..those two little words mean they own her now

Stupid move on Boebert’s part. Never apologize.

Seems more like she's trolling to me :)

Why do we even know details about a private phone call? Was the press present for the call, or did she go the the media after hanging up?

Why did Boebert issue an apology and why did she initiate a phone call? Is there anyone who really thinks she didn’t mean what she said?

"I apologize... for not being entirely honest with you. I apologize for not revealing my true feelings. I apologize, madam, for not telling you sooner that you're a degenerate, sadistic Marxist jihadi. And you can go to hell before I apologize to you now or ever again!" (altered from Paths of Glory)

No doubt. If she can scam immigration I would imagine she scams everything else.

I think it was a race to see which one got the press release out first.

She apologized to the Muslim community if they were offended.

Why?

“NEVER apologize. Trump taught us that”

The last time a Dem apologized for anything was…think I have to go back to Gary Hart. And what he did would barely raise an eyebrow these days.
