Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado had a tense phone call with Rep. Ilhan Omar on Monday that centered around Boebert's recent controversial remarks about the Minnesota Democrat.
The phone call ended with Omar hanging up after both congresswomen demanded each other issue public apologies for past remarks, Boebert said in an Instagram video Monday.
Boebert said she organized the call with Omar because she "wanted to let her know directly that I had reflected on my previous remarks."
"Now as a strong, Christian woman who values faith deeply, I never want anything I say to offend someone's religion. So I told her that. Even after I put out a public statement to that effect, she said that she still wanted a public apology because what I had done wasn't good enough. So I reiterated to her what I had just said," Boebert continued.
"She kept asking for a public apology so I told Ilhan Omar that she should make a public apology to the American people for her anti-American, anti-Semitic, anti-police rhetoric. She continued to press and I continued to press back. And then, Representative Omar hung up on me."
Omar issued a statement blaming Boebert for how the call unfolded and confirming that she ended the conversation.
"Today I graciously accepted a call from Rep. Lauren Boebert in the hope of receiving a direct apology for falsely claiming she met me in an elevator, suggesting I was a terrorist, and for a history of anti-Muslim hate," Omar said in a statement.
"Instead of apologizing for her Islamophobic comments and fabricated lies, Rep. Boebert refused to publicly acknowledge her hurtful and dangerous comments. She instead doubled down on her rhetoric and I decided to end the unproductive call."

Inbred brother-schleppers gonna brother-schlepp...
Omar appears to be a crazy Muslim who married her own brother.
Laure should have NEVER apologized to a woman who came here using a false last name, her lat name is NOT Omar, she stole that name from another family..married her brother in order to commit immigration fraud..and publicly celebrated the murders of Jews and calls for the destruction of Israel..Id never apologize to that piece of crap, instead I’d spit in her face
Some people did something.
Lauren, sorry forgot the n
Omar could care less about Islam she just uses it
There is nothing gracious about this anti-American bigot.
I called and spoke with Ilhan Omar today. I thought you would like to hear details about the call directly from me. pic.twitter.com/wEtrIyVjdl— Lauren Boebert (@laurenboebert) November 29, 2021
Isn’t someone running against this Islamo-Nazi?
Boebert is no doubt getting heavy pressure from McCarthy and his RINO allies.
Disgusting that the House GOP “leadership” made her apologize at all, instead of reminding everyone how radical and dangerous Omar is, and promising to strip her of all committee slots when they take over. Always. Be. Attacking.
In her case, appearances can be.....highly accurate.
Stupid move on Boebert’s part. Never apologize.
let me get this straight, she said “backpack” not islamist, so just exactly WHO brought islamist=terrorist into it as a stereotype?
why the Left of course
Lauren B. did the right thing; hold Omar to account for her words as well. But Omar couldn’t bring herself to do it.
Bobert had already apologized in a public forum.
It’s on film. Even of she did unwisely submit to do a second public apology, it still wouldn’t be enough.
La Turbaned one was called on her one sided diplomacy.
Maybe she’s got her turban wrapped too tightly, effects the reasoning part of the brain.
RINOs are fake opposition sellouts.
NEVER apologize. Trump taught us that.
"Now as a strong, Christian woman who values faith deeply, I never want anything I say to offend someone's religion. So I told her that."
I detect some worrisome softness here. Omar is going to hell. Plain and simple. You might want to tell her that straight out, rather than worry too much about offending her.
Worst possible outcome: Boebert may decide to publicly apologize and go first with that, with the expectation that Omar will follow with her own apology. Which won't happen. Then Boebert will just be out there on stage, all alone, having admitted that she was wrong.
That would not be good. Let's avoid that softness. Let's condemn the things that need to be condemned.
Omar’s voter fraud machine will be in overdrive next election
