Another video shows Lauren Boebert suggesting Ilhan Omar was terrorist
(CNN)Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado suggested to a crowd in September that Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, whom she called "black-hearted" and "evil," was a terrorist.
In those same remarks, she said that she felt safe around Omar because the Democrat wasn't wearing a backpack while they were in an elevator together.
It's another instance in which Boebert suggested Omar, who is Muslim and wears a hijab, was a terrorist. On Monday, the two lawmakers sent dueling statements about a phone call between the pair set up by Boebert after she apologized last week to "to anyone in the Muslim community I offended," when similar comments surfaced on social media.
The video of Boebert's anti-Muslim comments, made in New York at a September Staten Island Conservative Party dinner, were posted on Facebook that month by an attendee running for borough president.
...
Additionally, at the September event, Boebert also disparaged Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib of Minnesota, another Muslim member of Congress.
"Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib. These are just black-hearted evil women," Boebert said.

through out the campaign. And that her campaign manager digs up more oppo research on her many arrests. And then there's the food poisoning that happened at her restaurant.

Is an idiot and a coward.
It takes 3/4 of the House to expel her, and her caucus thinks she's OK FINE!

Totally made up lies and McCarthy and the rest of the republicans have nothing to say about the bigotry and anti-Muslim rhetoric.
