Ilhan Omar Says Lauren Boebert Is a ‘Buffoon’ and ‘Liar’

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) called Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) a buffoon, a bigot and a liar, for claiming to have joked about terrorism when sharing an elevator in Congress, The Guardian reports.

Said Omar: “This buffoon looks down when she sees me at the Capitol, this whole story is made up. Sad she thinks bigotry gets her clout.”

She added: “Anti-Muslim bigotry isn’t funny and shouldn’t be normalised. Congress can’t be a place where hateful and dangerous Muslims tropes get no condemnation.”
