Rep. Boebert Calls Ilhan Omar Member Of ‘Jihad Squad’ In Rant During Gosar Censure Hearing

Representative Lauren Boebert called Representative Ilhan Omar a "Jihad Squad member" while the House considered censuring Congressman Paul Gosar. Omar is a core member of the group of progressive lawmakers that is commonly referred to as "the Squad." Omar, a Minnesota Democrat, is a naturalized U.S. citizen, having arrived in the country as a child after her Somali family was granted asylum in 1995. Boebert was referencing Omar's campaign paying E Street Group, a political consultancy firm co-owned by her husband Tim Mynett, $2.9 million to work on her 2020 re-election campaign. She also referenced an unsubstantiated claim that Omar married her brother for immigration purposes, as well as controversial remarks the congresswoman has made regarding Israel and Palestine.
