Colorado congresswoman Lauren Boebert apologized on Friday to the Muslim community for comments about Rep Ilhan Omar and the 'jihad squad,' noting that she has reached out to Omar's office.Boebert said in a statement to Fox News: 'I apologize to anyone in the Muslim community I offended with my comment about Rep Omar. I have reached out to her office to speak with her directly.'There are plenty of policy differences to focus on without unnecessary distraction.' Boebert sparked fury on Thursday when video emerged of her telling a 'backpack' joke to a crowd of supporters - recounting a supposed encounter that Omar quickly confirmed as a lie.

Big mistake. Should have hit the gas and asked what it is about Ilhan Omar, the immigration fraudster who married her own brother, that makes her not only immune from being deported, but still remains a US congressman.

DM must mean Democrat Media. Saying that Omar "confirmed it as a lie" is a way of saying "Omar denied it" that implies that her denial is rock solid trustworthy. Thanks for editorializing your "reporting" there...

They got to her, the Democrat blackmail machine with the help of the NSA, CIA and FBI to name a few is probably the most powerful one humanity has ever seen. Rino's in congress are not born they created through being compromised and then blackmailed.
Watch, I bet she will be a lockstep'er going forward.

If a backpack joke bothers her, imagine what revealing the rest of the skeletons would do for Omar. She is not a credit to her religion, in fact, she is a discredit upon it with her parading around with an infidel while in her muslim garb and still married to boot as I recall.

If it was the Muslim community that foisted Omar upon us, then they owe America an apology.

Considering that Omar is Muslim, I’m rather surprised she hasn’t been punished by the Imams for her non- Muslim behavior.

So, does Boebert also get big campaign donations from rich, Muslims, who threatened to cut off the money supply if she didn't apologize? Has the entire congress been purchased? Why else would she abase herself to terrorists like this?

She and any other republican should be very careful what they say. They all have a huge X on their backs. People are recording them to use this stuff against them during the election.

No way Omar is deserving of an apology...she is fully supportive of those who carry the explosive backpacks even if she eschews the practice herself.

So, has Omar ever apologized for lying? Like all dems, she's quick to demand an apology, but will never issue one of her own.

Lauren, I think the world of you and what you stand for. But, I don't think the apology was necessary at all.

Well Lauren, you just told the country that you should not be taken seriously. Never underestimate a Republican's ability to self destruct.
