    Default Omar seeks action over House colleague’s remarks on Muslims

    DENVER (AP) — Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota called Friday for House leaders to take “appropriate action” against Colorado Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert for using anti-Muslim language in describing a recent encounter she had with Omar at the U.S. Capitol.

    Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other House Democratic leaders demanded Boebert retract her comments.

    According to a video clip posted by a Twitter account called PatriotTakes, Boebert made the remarks this holiday break. In it, she says she and a staffer were taking a Capitol elevator when she saw an alarmed Capitol police officer running toward them. She said she turned to her left and spotted Omar standing beside them.

    ”“Well, she doesn’t have a backpack. We should be fine,” Boebert recalled saying, drawing laughs from her audience. “And I said, ‘Oh look, the jihad squad decided to show up for work today.’”

    Omar publicly urged Pelosi and GOP House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy to discipline Boebert.

    “Saying I am a suicide bomber is no laughing matter,” Omar tweeted. “ @GOPLeader and @SpeakerPelosi need to take appropriate action, normalizing this bigotry not only endangers my life but the lives of all Muslims. Anti-Muslim bigotry has no place in Congress.”

    Pelosi and other top House Democrats called on Boebert in a statement later Friday to “fully retract these comments and refrain from making similar ones going forward.” They also demanded that Republican leaders “to address this priority with the Congresswoman and to finally take real action to confront racism.”

    Maybe the House should seek action against Omar for her commentary on Jews and Israel...

    Israel has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel.
    A separate case:
    The statements came after several other senior Democrats had weighed in, including the chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee on which Omar sits. “Anti-Semitism in any form is unacceptable, and it’s shocking to hear a Member of Congress invoke the anti-Semitic trope of ‘Jewish money,’” Rep. Eliot Engel, D-N.Y., said earlier Monday.
    https://www.foxnews.com/politics/dem...srael-comments

    Omar has made repeated anti-Semitic and anti-Israel commentary to the point of being as anti-Semitic as any neo-Nazi, and all she's gotten from her party is a verbal smackdown. The Democrats are holding Republicans to a completely different standard than they hold their own.

    I still think the demonic rats are setting her up to be a martyr. Only she'll be a martyr for misandrists. Can't imagine Muslims think much of much of her.

    She's as anti-Semitic and anti-Israel as any neo-Nazi and has repeatedly been smacked down for her comments on both, including by her own party. But she hasn't been stripped of her committee positions, officially censured, or had other punitive action taken against her. Instead, the Democrats have only verbally condemned her without consequence because she's one of their own.
