Lauren Boebert Outrageously Calls Ilhan Omar A Member Of The 'Jihad Squad'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) called fellow Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) a “jihad squad member” on Wednesday during a House debate on the resolution to censure Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.).

The far-right Colorado lawmaker faced fierce backlash for the comment as she railed against Democrats while defending Gosar, who was ultimately censured for posting an anime video depicting him killing Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and attacking President Joe Biden.

“This is a dumb waste of the House’s time, but since the speaker has designated the floor to discuss members’ inappropriate actions, shall we?” Boebert said before calling Omar “the jihad squad member from Minnesota” with a “brother husband.”

Omar, one of the first two Muslim women in Congress, is a member of the so-called “Squad,” a group of progressive House Democrats of color including Ocasio-Cortez and Reps. Ayanna Pressley (Mass.), Rashida Tlaib (Mich.), Jamaal Bowman (N.Y.) and Cori Bush (Mo.).

7. Just rhymin' all the time to show how clever she is

[NYC Liberal]

5. Add her name to the censure.

Her comments should be stricken from the record. Since when are comments like that during a debate allowed?

[nolabear]

8. I agree. This has got to be stopped.

These people are supposed to be leading a country, not tearing at one another and showing their asses in front of the whole country.

[Initech]

10. If you're a social media troll, you should not be elected to public office.

I'm just saying. Boebert, Greene, Gosar, and Cawthorn? They're nothing more than social media trolls. They need to be thwacked like the trolls that they are.

15. Here's Rep. Ilhan Omar's response. . .

Link to tweet

Luckily my dad raised me right, otherwise I might have gone to the floor to talk about this insurrectionist who sleeps with a pervert. I am grateful I was raised to be a decent human and not a deprived person who shamefully defecates & defiles the House of Representatives.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

FYG, the "pervert" is Lauren's husband, who was convicted for public indecency and lewd exposure" when he flashed his privates to two teenage girls in a bowling alley.

[PatSeg]

19. Who is she referring to here

When she talks about a member of the House Intelligence Committee sleeping with the enemy? Is she looking to be censured herself? That is some off-the-wall crazy crap.

[The Magistrate]

26. Boebert's Husband, Ma'am

Has a conviction for exposing himself to teenage girls. One assumes Boebert sleeps with him....

Rep. Swalwell had an affair with someone the FBI informed him was a suspected agent, at which point he broke the thing off.

[PatSeg]

29. Whoa, I didn't know that about Swalwell

As for Boebert's husband, THAT I knew about. They sound like such a delightful couple.

I swear, I am living in a really bad satirical movie.

[The Magistrate]

31. I Know...

[tblue37]

27. Eric Swalwell, who contacted the FBI about the woman as soon as her possibly being a spy

was discovered. I don't know if he had a romantic relationship with her, but he did exactly what he was supposed to do as soon as he had reason to suspect her: he contacted the proper authorities.

[PatSeg]

30. Thanks, I really didn't know that until today

Sounds like no one thought it was such a big deal until Boebert decided to turn it into a sordid affair. I can't find any evidence that there was an affair and it was seven years ago. It appears Swalwell handled the whole situation appropriately at the time.

Boebert should be censured for her slanderous comments about both Swalwell and representative Omar on the House floor. Of course, maybe she just wanted some media attention and was jealous that Gosar was getting it all. The only way these fools can get publicity is by being outrageous and vile.

[raccoon]

32. You sure got that right! Nt

[FSogol]

16. Boebert is upset that Gosar is getting all the attention. n/t

[PatSeg]

17. These fools really are incapable of just shutting up

Just because some vile thought pops into one's head, doesn't mean it should come out of one's mouth, especially not on the floor of the House. Is Boebert looking to be censured as well?

[SKKY]

18. Cool, how about we call her, MTG, Gaetz, Gohmert, and the rest of...

...Darwin's waiting room "Y'all Queda".

[edbermac]

20. Said by a member of the KKK Squad.

23. I was at a customer's house when Boebert's neurological event occurred

He watched it all without blinking, then laughed admiringly and said “I love that girl.”

There is no point at which Republicans en masse will say “enough is enough.” The more unhinged and destructive and extreme the GOP legislators become, the more fervently their cult of ignorant racist fuckheads will worship them.

[jmowreader]

25. I watched the video

I think there's a reason she was redistricted out of her seat for 2022.
