Infighting Grows Among House Republicans Amid Fight Between GOP and Dem Reps

Infighting among House Republicans is only growing after a verbal fight between Reps. Lauren Boebert, a Republican from Colorado, and Ilhan Omar, a Democrat from Minnesota, broke out last week.

The feud sparked after Boebert suggested that a Capitol Police officer appeared concerned that Omar was a terrorist, to which the Republican replied that “[Omar] doesn’t have a backpack,” so “we should be fine.” Boebert’s comments were widely seen as Islamophobic, and Omar shot back, saying that the entire story was false.

In response to Boebert’s comments, House Democrats pressured Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy to discipline her, with several floating censure and committee removal. But after Boebert apologized, the feud quickly grew after she posted a video Monday detailing how she and Omar demanded public apologies from one another, resulting in Omar hanging up on her.

One Republican who weighed in was South Carolina Rep. Nancy Mace, who went on CNN and criticized Boebert’s remarks. (Read more from “Infighting Grows Among House Republicans Amid Fight Between GOP and Dem Reps” HERE)
