WASHINGTON, DC—US Representative Ilhan Omar (D-MN) who regularly calls all Americans terrorists was recently offended when Rep Lauren Boebert made a joke about Omar being a terrorist.

“I am offended that someone who is an American by birth and who is therefore a terrorist would dare to call me a terrorist,” Omar said.

The row started over a joke Boebert relayed during Thanksgiving break:

Over the Thanksgiving break, Lauren Boebert said she was recently in a Capitol elevator with Ilhan Omar when a fretful Capitol police officer ran up.

Lauren Boebert said: “Well, she doesn’t have a backpack. We should be fine.”

“Yes, all Americans are terrorists, except for the some people who do something to Christmas parades,” Omar said.

Omar made it clear what terrorism looks like.

“Terrorism doesn’t involve bombs or backpacks or even red SUVs plowing through parades. Terrorism is simply being American,” said Omar, who gained citizenship by marrying her brother.
