Lauren Boebert Makes Such a Despicable Remark About Ilhan Omar She’s Forced to Issue Rare Apology

This site has repeatedly said that – completely unrelated to her GED and dropping out of high school – Lauren Boebert is stupid, beyond stupid, special-stupid, impressive-stupid.

But she is also a Trump-loving, gun-feti…loving, very possible criminal conspiracist, and an unrepentant racist. She is in the news lately, but that’s not news because she’s always in the news. She learned politics at Trump’s knee, or lap (hey, if they go there with…), and she believes that all politics is done on Twitter and is primarily about who is willing to say something more outrageous about liberals than the last person who said something outrageous.

So it’s not unusual for her to be in the news. It is unusual for her to be in the news apologizing for something, as she was recently upon issuing this statement:

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 this unnecessary distraction.

What did she do or say to Rep. Omar that might have offended some in the Muslim community? It isn’t all that complicated, nor very surprising:

To which, Adam Kinzinger, the Republican who turned away from Trump after being one of the very very few who actually read the Mueller report (yes, all that work and one of the only Republicans who read the report turned on him), said:

Trash? That is being charitable. And, we must not forget – because some of this can be distracting on purpose – she began January 6th by declaring it to be 1776, a year in which a war was fought over this country.
