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."

Awesome, I hope she wins but I’ll bet slimebags like Jonathan Capeheart will call her racist like he did Winsome Sears
Omar’s statement to the Post said, “Anti-Muslim bigotry has no place in Congress.”
But - in her view - antisemitism does?
Boebert has nothing to apologize for. Omar has refused to denounce terrorists on the State Dept list.
Never apologize to a grifter.
Never complain, never explain. Benjamin Disraeli
A message to Rep Boebert: filthy Somali moslem whores don’t apologize.That’s a sad fact of life.
Nope,can’t agree with you there. She’s a perfect role model for moslems. That filthy 6th Century child molester...Moe something...is very proud of her.
It seems there was an error uploading this video to Twitter.

Oh gurl
Ya screwed up big time.
You “ submited”
Did you even know
Islam litteraly means submission
You , as far as they are concern,
just became a muslim.
They now consider you to be subject to sharia law and the caliphate.
Representative incest (D) is in a snit. Too bad yawn
Some people did something.
It’s worse than what most people think. That is code for “the jews did it”. Remember the stories going round that no Jews showed up at the WTC on 9/11? That was a vicious smear that was put out there by the left and Muslims to muddy the waters.
Boebert should have NEVER apologized. It was idiotic and makes her look weak.
