Rep. Boebert apologizes after suggesting Rep. Omar mistaken for a terrorist in Capitol

So anyone who supports boycotting Israel is supporting terrorism . . . because there are terrorists who support boycotting Israel? Let me know what I'm missing here. For the record, there's a reason I'm protective here. The first time I heard her accused of anti-Semitism, I actually believed the hype. Then I looked into it and found out that the accusation had been based on a lie -- she had accused lawmakers of dual loyalty due to lobbying influences. She had not accused Jews of dual loyalty.

 

Here’s just one example.

We are outraged the president would assassinate a foreign official, possibly setting off another war without Congressional authorization and has zero plan to deal with the consequences. But of course you know that.

Twitter users send condolences to Ilan Omar over Soleimani assassination.

So what if Trump wants war, knows this leads to war and needs the distraction? Real question is, will those with congressional authority step in and stop him? I know I will.

 

Well, anyone who sees assassination as an act of war, and who has read the Constitution, is going to have to agree with her on that point. And, no, nothing there is supporting terrorism . . . and I should also mention that Iran isn't Palestine.

 

As in BDS gives support to terrorists.

Furthermore the ADL has labeled the BDS movement as anti-semitic.

What specific organization has she supported that is pro-terrorist? So far all you are showing me is that she has supported boycotts against Israel and so have some terrorists. So have a lot of Jews, by the way. Boycotting Israel does not make you anti-Semitic or pro-terrorist.

 

Yard, you didn't need to type the part at the end. It would have worked just fine like this...

"Racist and idiotic . . . just like when Trump said basically the same thing about ______________________ <EVERYBODY WHO IS NOT HIMSELF OR HIS OLDEST DAUGHTER>."

 

Continuing to support an organization that has been shown to be supporting terrorists and being anti-semitic means that you support those things also. She has been shown these things. She still supports them.

 

On February 11, 2019, six House Democratic leaders—Speaker Nancy Pelosi (Calif.), Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (Md.), Majority Whip Jim Clyburn (S.C.), Assistant Speaker Ben Ray Luján (N.M.), Caucus Chairman Hakeem Jeffries (N.Y.) and Caucus Vice Chairwoman Katherine Clark (Mass.), called for Omar to apologize for an exchange on Twitter where the Democratic leaders said Omar used "anti-Semitic tropes and prejudicial accusations about Israel’s supporters."

When she was a state rep, she voted against a bill that denies life insurance benefits to radical terrorist policyholders who kill Americans, i.e. Syed Farook

Jan 7, 2020 — The poll, which started at the end of 2019, included Omar as one of the top three nominees, alongside Louis Farrakhan and Richard Spencer.

 

Do you really believe that?

 

Do you also mock nuns?

 

Oh yes.

 

Wow.

 

Not as frequently as the leftist do priests and people of religious faith's, but yes on some occasions

 

And she APOLOGIZED.... something we see precious little of when the left shoots off THEIR mouths before cocking their brains.

 

Trump suffers from TDS, no doubt about that, that is why the disease is named after Trump, he is patient zero

 

It's not surprising. Anti-Semitism (of the crudest kind) is the default position among Somalis. I have been to Somalia and encountered many Somalis over the years. It would be remarkable if she were not anti-Semitic.

 

Boebert is another tool of incivility that Trump has rooted in now his political party.

 

Omar didn’t believe 9/11 was a terrorist act. There was nothing to apologize about.

 

I don't think that way which is why I didn't see it from that perspective.

 

Some people did something.
Meh

 

But it is so!!!

Actually, Boebert did the right thing in apologizing. Hopefully she doesn't do it again but she will likely dance around the edges regardless. Time to move on IMO.

 

Spot on.

 

Boebert reminds me of Palin. Airhead, but can regurgitate RW talking points at will to get audiences excited (one has to listen to the cheers of the audience when Boebert says those vile things). Unfortunately, this is what the Trump party has degraded itself to: The party of trolling Libs and RW memes.
