Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) plays a horrific death threat she received following Rep. Lauren Boebert’s (R-CO) recent Islamophobic attacks on her.

Warning: It's incredibly graphic.

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) calls out Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) for demanding she retake her oath of office on a Bible:

“That says a lot about somebody who says she believes in the Constitution, because she obviously hasn’t read it.”

1. Boebert needs to be censured and then there needs to be an expulsion vote for her/Gosar

i know the expulsion won't pass but I think there is value to making the rethugs go on record supporting them as we near the midterms........

[Delmette2.0]

4. Agreed!

That message is horrible.

[tblue37]

7. Could you explain it for us deafies? Thanks. nt

[Boomerproud]

8. Yes, please.

[Delmette2.0]

10. This isn't exact quotes.

He threatens her life, drops the F bomb several times and calls her a jihadist.

[tblue37]

11. Thank you. nt

[AZLD4Candidate]

29. Don't forget the N-bomb he said in his second sentence.

[SCantiGOP]

44. He says she will die

But at the end says it will be through a military tribunal. The caller is not threatening to do it.

18. Remember, Gosar Had A Role In The Original "Ghostbusters"

I love that movie. I feel differently about him.

[louis-t]

50. I know, I think about that every time I see his name.

I chuckle a little, then am disgusted by that piece of trash. Do you hear his name in Rick Moranis' voice when you read it? I do. "Go-zer".

[OAITW r.2.0]

2. Every Republican should be demanding the expulsion of Greene, Bobert, Gosar

and everyone of their rhetorical bomb-throwers in Congress. More than 1/2 of this country voted against Trump in the last election....by a significant majority. That's not going to change, anytime soon.

[SCantiGOP]

45. There is only one Republican who could call for an end to this

And he is the one urging them on to do this.
Until we get rid of Trump once and for all, this country is in critical danger.

[marble falls]

3. It's like she thinks she can't be beaten or kicked out. If she's tied to the death threat ...

... how does she stay in office? This is get the net ready and don't forget the dart gun crazy.

[gratuitous]

5. Rep. Omar is far more articulate than the chap who left that voice mail

But then, she wasn't rip-roaring drunk like he sounded.

[Moostache]

48. That level of stupidity cannot be brought on by alcohol alone...

Sure, being drunk might make one less self-censoring in their speech, but that level of racism, hate and anger are present in HUGE quantities to even THINK like that...

[SunImp]

6. Well he is much braver than the snakes that attack her constantly on online forums

I hope the authorities are doing something about that scumbag who threatened her.

[Caliman73]

9. COWARD

If he is so proud of his remarks, why not leave a name and address?

Simple minded coward. That is all.

[KentuckyWoman]

36. Oh I am pretty sure he can be found.

If the powers that be were so inclined they'd be scaring the hell out of him within an hour of leaving the message.

[LonePirate]

12. McQarthy should be asked to respond to that recording since he's empowering them.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

13. Party of Lincoln my ass....

....... .......

This type event is why we call them ReTHUGS.

I would like to see the FBI arrest the guy that left that message, then haul his rotten ass in shackles before Congress to explain his actions.

KY......

[a kennedy]

14. That is totally UNACCEPTABLE!!!!! and their leadership better do something about it.

TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬

[aeromanKC]

15. One can only hope the FCC is on this.

And Secret Service if applicable.

[Baked Potato]

16. Boebert & Greene are willingly being used as instigators of violence.

They are hiding behind their own twisted interpretation of their religion.

They are the ones with dead hearts and evil minds.

[Captain Zero]

17. And they are going to get somebody killed

nt

[KentuckyWoman]

37. Red wave.

They want the streets covered in the blood of their "enemies".

It is just so Old Testament.

[intheflow]

60. Yeah, that's exactly what I always think about these "Christians."

They don't actually follow Christ's teachings. They are heretics to the core.

[onecaliberal]

19. The fucking bastards inviting this need to be arrested NOW.

If anyone is hurt IT IS THEIR FAULT. This cannot continue.

[Pas-de-Calais]

20. Chicken shit MFer's the lot of them

[appmanga]

21. This is why...

...there should be no let up and no leniency for those who stormed the Capitol on 1/6. Every time I see this woman or AOC, I realize had that mob gotten to them, they would have been killed. I believe that to my core. The fact so many in their party, people who claim to be decent and love this country, can't stand en masse and repudiate the racist trolls in their midst is disgraceful. They should be haunted by their cowardice.

[onecaliberal]

51. So much this.

[Evolve Dammit]

22. Thiese threats are happening everywhere, from school boards to Congress. Time for some hate speech

legislation with meaningful penalties. Remove Fox from the airwaves and fine the shit out of offenders. Other countries have it, why can't we?

[AllaN01Bear]

23. hope she is bodygaurded and is armed .

id love to say some thing on here but i would surly get banned because of language . effin coward , hiding behind your telephone . those 2 " ladys " need to be expelled .

[iluvtennis]

24. caller said "a military tribunal" will convict and kill her - WTF has the military got to so with

Last edited Wed Dec 1, 2021, 01:39 PM - Edit history (1)

this. I'm ex US Air Force and am insulted when these wingnuts drag the military into their RW bullshit. Enough.

[Fortinbras Armstrong]

46. There's a Supreme Court decision,

Ex parte Milligan, 71 U.S. (4 Wall.) 2 (1866), that ruled civilians cannot be tried by military tribunals when civilian courts are still operating.

[iluvtennis]

47. thanks for this info.

[George II]

25. I'm not a fan of Omar's, but that was horrible and HAS to be condemned - by Boerbert AND McCarthy...

...IMMEDIATELY!

They revel in crap like this though.

[marmar]

42. Why do you have to qualify it with "I'm not a fan of Omar's"?

[SunImp]

53. There is a group out there that always seems to bring in bitter negativity energy in

Progressive Democrats support/appreciation threads. They have some weird need to be passive-aggressive and toss in a jab or two. You really don't see this type of hostility much in President Biden or Pelosi threads from people who disagree with their positions on things.

[vlyons]

26. I refuse to play it

I understand that Ilhan Omar is standing up for herself. But it seems that her every response to Boebert just incites Boebert to more hateful bullying crap. Maybe it would be better if Ilhan said something like it's beneath her dignity to respond to a bully, and then stop rising to Boebert's bait. It's clear to me that Boebert enjoys getting under Omar's skin in as irritating a mean girl way as possible.

This shit is so unpleasant and stupid

[obamanut2012]

39. Some high-level victim blaming there

WOW!

So, the victim should just STFU and not expose the abuse and threats against her and say she's above all that, and allow the attackers to just keep threatening, attacking, and abusing her while she just acts like a lady and keeps her mouth shut and smiles. Because it's all so unpleasant and stupid to you.

All while the abusers are allowed to hold the mic and have free rein.

WOW.

[vlyons]

41. yes indeed

Your response seems angry. Are you angry at me? Has it never occurred to you that no amount of respond back in kind has any effect on Boebert, except to egg her on to continue with her nasty comments to get attention. Because Boebert always needs an enemy to demonize to make wrong, so she can make herself feel self-righteously superior. I think that after 1 or 2 respond backs to make it clear that she's out of line, then ignoring Boebert will make her lose interest and go find another target to get attention.

But that's just my opinion. It's OK with me if you don't agree. I am a Buddhist. I am taught to practice patience and have compassion for dreadful people like Boebert, because they are ignorant and don't realize that their hatefulness only creates more suffering.

All contaminated phenomema (like an angry, hateful mind) are of the nature of suffering.

[Tommymac]

43. Fuck any compassion for those murderous QANON asshats.

I respect your beliefs, but I disagree Strongly with them.

Yes, Rep. Omar SHOULD respond to these attacks every single time.

Turning the other cheek did not work with Hitler. Ask Chamberlain and the tens of millions who DIED in WW2.

It will not work with Greene, Gosar or Boebert - they are too ignorant and EVIL to care - they would kill YOU in a heartbeat and not give it another thought.

It's time to purge the Evil GOP - and it's racist bigoted Murderous view points from modern society. The time of superstition is long gone. The current GOP is inhumane and evil. Period.

It is the age of Rationality and Science - not superstition and bigotry.

I guess I have a contaminated mind - so be it.

[inthewind21]

59. THIS

Is EXACTLY why Dems have the majority but Republicans still control. Cause let's play nice and not eg them on. Yeah, hows that working out?

[Carlitos Brigante]

55. Didn't work for Kerry, Gore, Cleland, etc., etc. Do I personally find the

Twitter back and forths pointless and lame? 100%. But it's a tough one. People respond to negative campaigning and one has to be able to throw their own words right back at them. Trying to "fly above" this shit doesn't work. But to your point, giving these troglodytes the time of day can be a double edged sword. You know that whole "wrestling with pigs" thing. It's almost a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" situation.

[bdamomma]

27. What bastards

we have a white Taliban here in the US.

Boebert and MTG along with several others should be thrown out of Congress.

That Low life should be found and thrown into prison.

[The Jungle 1]

28. Where is the shock and outrage from the Christian right?

The Christian right in America have destroyed everything Christ taught!

[Lonestarblue]

30. Boebert, Greene, and Gosar are deliberately tying to provoke attacks on Democrats.

They want them to quit the House so Republicans have a better chance winning their seats when the incumbent is not running again. I believe they have driven some Democrats to retire with the toxic work environment they’ve created. These people are not legislators, they’re wreckers.

[IcyPeas]

31. Don't forget Boebert and her husband both have rap sheets. They are vile people.

Wonder what her 4 offspring are like. Poor kids.

[luckone]

34. I don't agree with talking heads saying this should be ignored . This is dangerous

You can’t just say do your your thing Dem Congress and ignore the crazies .
They are trying to incite violence

[obamanut2012]

40. People in this thread are, too

It's also some high=level victim blaming.

[Texasgal]

35. GODAMMIT!!!!!!

Why is the GOP staying silent on this? WHY????

And WHERE is her protection from these disgusting women and these death threats????

I am absolutely FUCKING DISGUSTED!

[moondust]

38. Are death threats like this common

in countries without a "normalized" gun culture? Europe? Australia? Japan? China?

Or are they common in the U.S. because killing people is so damn easy and common?

[llashram]

49. I lay ALL this

at the feet of the former POS who called himself POTUS. He helped these people come out of their rat holes and become the terrorists they are. I just am enraged at what he has caused. IF he had COVID I just wish...

I just hope our democracy is strong enough and our leadership committed enough to turn back the fascists at our gate.

[lees1975]

52. If the Republican Leadership in the House doesn't demand Boebert and Taylor-Green resign

then they are unAmerican and anti-Constitution.

I would say that Boebert and Taylor-Green not only are not familiar with the Constitution, they haven't read the Bible, either.

[ck4829]

54. Disgusting. K&R for exposure.

[Marthe48]

56. Praying for Rep. Omar's safety

greenne is a stain on a stain.
