“Fact, this buffoon looks down when she sees me at the Capitol, this whole story is made up. Omar said the “whole story” was made up and condemned Boebert for her comments. There are plenty of policy differences to focus on without this unnecessary distraction,” she said. “I have reached out to her office to speak with her directly. “I apologize to anyone in the Muslim community I offended with my comment about Rep Omar,” Boebert said in a statement posted on Twitter. She’s not tough in person.”īoebert’s comments were flagged by the Twitter account PatriotTakes, a left-wing group that researches right-wing extremism and is associated with the liberal PAC MeidasTouch.ĬNN has reached out to Boebert and multiple members of the congresswoman’s office for comment but has not received a response.īoebert said Friday she had contacted Omar’s office. “So we only had one floor to go and I say, do I say it or do I not? And I look over and I say, ‘Look, the jihad squad decided to show up for work today.’ Don’t worry, it’s just her staffers on Twitter that talk for her. “What’s happening? I look to my left and there she is, Ilhan Omar, and I said, ‘Well she doesn’t have a backpack, we should be fine,'” Boebert continued. “I was getting into an elevator with one of my staffers and he and I were leaving the Capitol, we’re going back to my office and we get in the elevator and I see a Capitol Police officer running hurriedly to the elevator.
“So the other night on the House floor was not my first jihad squad moment,” Boebert told a crowd. In the video, posted last Saturday on Facebook from an event that day, Boebert implied Omar had been mistaken for a terrorist in an elevator on Capitol Hill.
