U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado and Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota talked on the phone Monday about Boebert’s recent comments connecting Islam to terrorism. The call did not go well. The Democratic Omar hung up on the Republican Boebert when Boebert refused to apologize publicly for her remarks.
Boebert has since said, “As a strong Christian woman who values faith deeply, I never want anything I say to offend someone’s religion,” but she refused again to apologize.
