On Boebert’s joke, see here. On why Boebert should not have apologized, see here. Omar is not the most honest person in the world, but if Pelosi does act against Boebert, while Omar herself has said far worse and gotten a pass from the Democrats in the House, it will just be more confirmation of the deep corruption of the establishment today.
“U.S. Democrat Omar: Pelosi to act against Republican for anti-Muslim comments,” Reuters, December 5, 2021:
WASHINGTON, Dec 5 (Reuters) – U.S. Representative Ilhan Omar said on Sunday that she is confident House Speaker Nancy Pelosi will take “decisive action” in coming days against Republican congresswoman Lauren Boebert, for remarks about Omar that have been decried as Islamophobic.
Boebert described Omar, a Muslim who was born in Somalia, as a member of a “jihad squad” at an event in her home state of Colorado last month and said it was safe to ride with her in a Capitol elevator if she was not wearing a backpack.
A first-term lawmaker who has vowed to defy Washington’s gun laws, Boebert apologized for the comments. But a phone call between the two women ended in rancor with Boebert showing no sign of remorse. Democrats later called for the House to strip Boebert of her committee assignments for what they called anti-Muslim bigotry.
“I have had a conversation with the speaker, and I’m very confident that she will take decisive action next week,” Omar told CNN’s “State of the Union” program.
“When I first got to Congress, I was worried that I wasn’t going to be allowed to be sworn in because there was a ban on the hijab. She promised me that she would take care of it. She fulfilled that promise. She’s made another promise to me that she will take care of this. And I believe her.”
There was no immediate comment from Pelosi or Boebert.
House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy defended Boebert last week, saying she had apologized publicly and personally to Omar.
Omar did not say what action Pelosi might take….
Walter Sieruk says
in all fairness Ilan Omar and Nancy Pelosi do make a very good political match , with all their sinister scheming together. Those two do deserve each other.
In addition, Pelosi and Omar as a group of two may ,rightly , be viewed as the personification and epitome of the insidious and evil movement of the Communist – alliance. Which is known as the “Red/Green Alliance.”
Keith O says
Good analogy Walter.
Grace says
Whether Pelosi promised to ‘take care of the matter’ or promised nothing,, Omar was devious enough to put Pelosi in a box. Now Pelosi must either demand Boebarts sanctions or call Omar a liar, which she can’t do without having the Squad rise up against her and threaten to primary her with a member of the squad.
medaber_emet says
you mean communist Muslim alliance
Kesselman says
Omar (D-Mogadishu) is a fraud, liar, and not the sharpest knife in the drawer. She ought to keep her big mouth shut. She’s a disgrace in all conceivable ways but first and foremost to her country of origin, Somalia, which also has fostered the politically competent Ayaan Hirsi Ali who has the gut to tear away all of Islam’s aggressiveness and lies.
maria says
Yes, Omar should be forced to resign from her post. And mentally sick person No.2 Piglosi should resign too and be replaced by the Republican speaker Mr. Kevin mcCarthy

Snakes are known liars, even in the actual animal kingdom. Rattlesnakes will bunk with little bunny rabbits in their warm warrens during the cold months of winter when the snakes would otherwise freeze to death. Come the warm days of spring, the snake will have a big bunny lunch before leaving the warren until cold weather returns.
i. elmi, alias i omar, is a snake; liar, fraud, guilty of adultery and incest…she actually lied to Congress, which for anyone from the regular neighborhood would mean a jail sentence, but for which lies, she paid no price.
i. elmi is just like the rattlesnake that snuggles with the bunnies out of need, and then turns its fangs on them for food. i. elmi came to this country by fraud…lies…and has used every avenue of deceit to get where she has the evil ears of pelosi, and would gladly bite all of the hands that have made her life easier than she would have ever had it in somalia. Just let pelosi cross this mozlum snake….and see what happens.
But, her Judgment is coming. She can count on it. She and pelosi can fry together.
john smith says
An excellent analogy

Thank you.
Westman says
Didn’t we see this scene in, “The Godfather”, where a singer complains that he didn’t get a part in a movie and then a horse head appears in the owners bed? Or, maybe in the movie, “My Bodyguard”, where the kid mistakenly, egotistically, uses his bodyguard friend to threaten someone?
Omar: “She’s(Pelosi) made another promise to me that she will take care of this. And I believe her.”
If Pelosi falls for this pressure from a person with a conniving history and actually damages Boebert, she will never regain her freedom from Omar. Is Pelosi that naive?
Omar is in hyper-shadenfreude-revenge mode and it makes her substance seem incredibly ugly.
livingengine says
Forming an envoy position because Ilhan Omar is receiving criticism is a terrible idea.

savvyone says
livingengine, Omar is CAIR’s mouthpiece. CAIR is a branch of the Muslim brotherhood.
Why our members of Congress, and that should include both parties, have let her get away with her criminal behavior is beyond belief. She should have never been allowed in Congress: taking oath on the Qur’an, wearing a Hijab and her anti-semitic remarks are all anti-American.
She is a very sickening individual. DittoTlaib. These two will never be good American’s, not that they want to be. America is their enemy.
medaber_emet says
letting Omar become congress member is part of the capitulation of America to Islam
this is only the beginning
Charlie in NY says
Pelosi should inflict on Boebert for her joke the same penalty she inflicted on Omar for her antisemitic outbursts: a House resolution proclaiming its opposition to all forms of hatred, listing “islamophobia” somewhere in the laundry list. And then every moves on.
That will prove that Pelosi is evenhanded in her treatment. I’m certain Congressman McCarthy will support this strategy.

Muslims *really do* engage in Jihad terrorism–this is not the same as antisemitism at all.

Omar claims Pelosi promised she would take action against Boebert for allegedly ‘anti-Muslim’ joke
…………….
I hope this is another lie from Ilhan Omar. She may be trying to coerce Pelosi. The bad news is that this may well work…
john smith says
If action is taken against Boebert for this, then the once great country America, is sinking.
Keith O says
If Omar or Pelosi told me the sun comes up in the East, I would get up early with a compass and check.
They, like most of their ilk are compulsive liars.
James Lincoln says
So, according to the feature article:
“Democrats later called for the House to strip Boebert of her committee assignments for what they called anti-Muslim bigotry.”
From Merriam-Webster:
“Essential Meaning of bigot:
1. a person who strongly and unfairly dislikes other people, ideas, etc. : a bigoted person
2. a person who hates or refuses to accept the members of a particular group (such as a racial or religious group)”
A muslim supports, in varying degrees, islam – a totalitarian religious/political ideology whose goal is to impose sharia law throughout the world.
Questions:
1. Is it unfair to dislike a muslim?
2. Is it wrong to *not* accept members of a particular group (muslims)?
somehistory says
Unless one is hiring another for a job,, renting a property, or other things covered by the civil rights act, it is legal to discriminate.
It is also morally allowable to dislike someone because of the things they do…or don’t do.
If I gave a party for my neighbors and had neighbors who took drugs, never washed, spoke abusively or used profane, vulgar language, I would not invite them into my home.
It is not wrong to dislike another person. It is only wrong to do harm to another person…whether or not we like/dislike that one.
mozlums are really, really asking to be disliked when they behave as i. elmi behaves. Lying, fraud, trying to make trouble for others, arrogance, etc. are unattractive elements of her person.
i. elmi is a snake.
James Lincoln says
somehistory,
Thank you for your reply, and I agree with your post.

Thank you, James.

Nancy may take action, if for no other reason, only b’cos it’ll give the RINOs like Cheney and Kinzinger yet another reason to vote w/ her, and keep highlighting the divisions within the congressional GOP. The primaries for next year can’t come soon enough

“Omar claims Pelosi promised she would take action against Boebert for allegedly ‘anti-Muslim’ joke”
Here’s a Muslim joke: Ilhan Omar. Actually, it’s a bad Muslim joke.
OLD GUY says
Poor Omar she is so deprived and burdened with guilt caused by her brothers in violent islam.
I’am not sure of what she will get from Nancy? I think Pelosi is only a few steps behind Joe when it comes to mental ability. Both should be in the nursing home, not government house.
Walter Sieruk says
Ilan Omar is deliberately “making a mountain out of a molehill” She’s milking a this tople as much as she can.. Omar needs to grow up. Especially after the terrible things about other races ,as the Jews, Omar can sure dish it out but she can;t take it
Omar must love to carry on when she hears about a comment about her she happens not to like.
Shame on her.
