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."

Another round of apologizing to our enemies, foreign and domestic? Thanks Laren.
Stephen Decatur knew how to deal with mouthy Muzzie inbreds...
Least of all to the Jihad Squad.
the phrase, “Never apologize, never explain” has been around many, many years and has been attributed to Winston Churchill among others.
No matter who said it first it remains 100% solid advice with this never being more evident than when dealing with the scum on the Left
Rep. Boebert, relax and take a deep breath. You’re saved, and you’re going to Heaven. No need to apologize to an anti-American Muzzie terrorist who simultaneously committed incest and immigration fraud by “marrying” her biological brother.
She never got to the apology to Omar. She apologized to the Muslim community if they were offended. She called Omar to say both would have to apologize if there was going to be an apology between the two of them. Then Omar hung up.
“Intifada!”, says Omar
She didn’t apologize and leadership didn’t make her nor did they condemn her remarks.
Be careful of your facts, be eloquent and be logical - and NEVER APOLOGIZE
Indeed
She looks weak groveling like this. The Rino’s must be letting her rehearse for a leadership position.
Yep. NEVER apologize to the LEFT or you will live to regret it.
Rep. Omar Hangs
All of my relatives that fought in all of the wars of America since 1776 would turn in their graves knowing a Jihadi Terrorist burka-wearing woman would assume congressional power one day in a “diverse” America.
This nation is toast!
I would hope that Boebert taped the call.
That's where they rig all the state-wide "elections" in MN.
Well, it was a pretty good one-liner. Kudos to Lauren.
“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.”
Jesus valued the truth more than not offending anyone. His statements offended other people’s religion all the time. For example, if you say there is only one path to God, that is going to offend people. I would think a “strong, Christian” would know that.
