Former President Donald Trump said that Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., should apologize for electoral, immigration, and marriage fraud before seeking an apology from Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., who made a terrorism joke about the Islamic politician, The Gateway Pundit reported.
“Congresswoman Ilhan Omar should apologize for marrying her brother, committing large-scale immigration and election fraud, wishing death to Israel, and for essentially abandoning her former country, which doesn’t even have a government—Exactly what she’d like to see for the United States!,” Trump said in a statement on his Save America website.
Omar illegally married her brother to obtain a fraudulent visa to enter the United States and then allegedly orchestrated widespread voter fraud to win her House seat.
The spat between the two Congresswomen began when, according to Boebert, a Capitol Hill police officer came up to her with “fret on his face” as they entered an elevator with Omar.
“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 said with a laugh.
Boebert immediately apologized.
“I apologize to anyone in the Muslim community I offended with my comment about Rep. Omar,” she wrote on Twitter.
Boebert called Omar on to further calm tensions.
Omar demanded another public apology, which Boebert refused, and then the Islamic Rep. hung up the phone.
Some Republicans said that Boebert should not have apologized in the first place.
What did @laurenboebert say wrong? I see some hypocrisy here – the left can say whatever they want and @SpeakerPelosi backs them. @GOPLeader you should stand up for Lauren’s original statements. NEVER apologize to the Communists. This is why I support @DrPaulGosar for speaker.
