Boebert Defends Islamophobic Remarks By Making More Islamophobic Remarks
Rep. Lauren Boebert (Q-CO) just can’t stop talking about Rep. Ilhan Omar (R-MN) without using hate speech. Boebert leans into her reputation for being the dumbest member of the House by pretending she doesn’t know what she’s doing, but she’s just smart enough to know that if she keeps doing it, she’ll stay in the news cycle.
While we know you know, it’s still our job to let you know just how bad it’s getting. And while it may not stun anyone to learn there’s a Republican who’s fully embracing xenophobia, it’s now past the point of just clickbait in this new age of revenge culture. Boebert’s dangerous comments have already resulted in new threats against Rep. Omar, and bullies like Boebert love nothing more than to turn up the heat and make things even worse for everyone. That’s where Charlie Kirk and TPUSA come in.
Kirk’s sponsored hate speech convention draws everyone they can drudge from the bottom of the bottom, from Marjorie Taylor Greene referring to Asian Americans as “yellow people” to Kyle Rittenhouse being made to feel like a rock star, so of course, Boebert knew exactly which crowd she was pandering to when she unleashed a brand new line of Islamaphobic lies about Rep. Omar.

Boebert claimed that Rep. Omar “played the victim” and faked her tears just to get votes during a recent TV appearance. “She needed more fundraising for this quarter. This quarter was a little slow for her,” Boebert said snidely. “So let’s go on TV, shed some tears, and you know, play the victim.” Boebert even claimed some Muslim-Americans were on her side, not Rep. Omar’s.

Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) recently introduced a resolution that was cosigned by other progressive House Democrats which would strip Boebert of her committee assignments, but House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has yet to bring it to the floor for a vote.
"Inaction is to be complicit in Islamophobia.”
