Boebert Claims Dems Want to ‘Cancel’ Her Over Remarks About Omar

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) says that Democrats want to “cancel” her for remarks she made suggesting that Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) is a terrorist.

During an appearance on Fox News on Tuesday, Boebert said, “Omar and the left don’t want an apology. They want public humiliation, but that’s not going to happen.”

“I want to say this to you and the millions of Americans who watch this show, I will not be canceled,” she added.

Later, the Colorado Congresswoman claimed she did not apologize for her comments “to appease Ilhan or the left,” but, “I did that because I’m here to be a good Congresswoman for the people who sent me here to be their voice.”

Last week, a video surfaced of Boebert sharing an allegedly made up story about an elevator ride she had in the Capitol with Omar.

“I was getting into an elevator with one of my staffers,” Boebert began as she claimed she saw a Capitol police officer “running hurriedly to the elevator” with “fret all over his face.”

She continued, “I look to my left, and there she is — 👤Ilhan Omar. And I said, ‘Well, she doesn’t have a backpack. We should be fine.’ So we only had one floor to go… I looked over and I said, ‘Oh look, the jihad squad decided to show up for work today.’”

She later apologized
