Fact, this buffoon looks down when she sees me at the Capitol, this whole story is made up. Sad she thinks bigotry gets her clout.
Anti-Muslim bigotry isn’t funny & shouldn’t be normalized. Congress can’t be a place where hateful and dangerous Muslims tropes get no condemnation.
Over the Thanksgiving break, Lauren Boebert said she was recently in a Capitol elevator with Ilhan Omar when a fretful Capitol police officer ran up.
Lauren Boebert said: “Well, she doesn’t have a backpack. We should be fine.”
Boebert then called Ilhan Omar, “jihad squad.”

I assume
@GOPLeader
will address this soon? After all, he said he holds his caucus to a high standard.

Boebert’s story sounds a bit ridiculous. Omar is almost always accompanied by staff, even in House office buildings, so not sure how this could happen. Have also never seen a USCP officer act like this.

As a Christian minister, I stand with Rep. Omar. Lauren Boebert’s religious bigotry should disqualify her from serving in Congress. Just as importantly,

, Islamaphobia is a sin.
