Call on Congress to remove Rep. Boebert from Committees and Censure her for Islamophobic comments!

During the 2021 Thanksgiving recess, Congresswoman Lauren Boebert told an audience that she was recently in a Capitol elevator with Rep. Ilhan Omar and, as the doors began to close, she spotted a fretful Capitol police officer running towards them.

Initially expressing alarm, Boebert, quickly pivoted to an Islamophobic punch line: “Well, [Congresswoman Ilhan Omar] doesn't have a backpack. We should be fine.”

Boebert then refered to Ilhan Omar as the “Jihad Squad.”

This is inappropriate behavior anywhere but especially in a work environment — let alone the halls of Congress. We cannot allow these statements to be dismissed. Lauren Boebert is a member of:

📌  The Natural Resources Committee

📌  The Budget Committee

📌  The Subcommittee on Indigenous Peoples of the United States

📌  The Subcommittee on Water, Oceans, and Wildlife

Join AMERICAblog Election Fund as we call on her colleagues in Congress to remove her from Committees and censure her for Islamophobic hate speech.
