![US Representative Ilhan Omar urged Republican leaders to stand up to 'anti-Muslim hate' [File: J Scott Applewhite/The Associated Press]](https://i0.wp.com/whereisthebuzz.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/img_8714.jpg?fit=1015%2C561&quality=89&ssl=1)
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.”
Islamophobic jokes aren’t a good look @laurenboebert

A second video has emerged of Lauren Boebert calling Rep. Ilhan Omar “black-hearted” “evil,” and a terrorist in September.
“I said, well, lookey there, it’s the Jihad Squad…She doesn’t have a backpack, she wasn’t dropping it and running so we’re good,” Boebert said.
Lauren Boebert also told Fox News that Ilhan Omar “hates America,” rhetoric that will likely lead to more threats.
Congresswoman Ilhan Omar plays a horrific death threat she received just hours after Rep Lauren Boebert’s recent bigoted and Islamophobic attacks on her. The voicemail is incredibly graphic and the GOP has refused to condemn their actions.
AOC also slams Kevin McCarthy over the horrific death threat voicemail left for Ilhan Omar by a racist Republican, says he is is “so desperate” to be Speaker that he’s working with the “Ku Klux Klan caucus.”
People truly don’t understand the scale, intensity, & volume of threats targeting @IlhanMN.

Kevin McCarthy is so desperate to be speaker that he is working with his Ku Klux Klan caucus to look aside & allow violent targeting of woc members of Congress.
This cannot be ignored. https://t.co/ppridf6bZl
