Omar went after McCarthy for excusing Boebert’s comments and instead touting her attempts to apologize — despite Boebert making incendiary comments after those attempts.

“McCarthy is a liar and a coward,” Omar said. “He doesn’t have the ability to condemn the kind of bigoted Islamaphobia and anti-Muslim rhetoric that are being trafficked by a member of his conference.”

She added, of the GOP at large, “This is who they are. We have to be able to stand up to them. And we have to push them to reckon with the fact that their party right now is normalizing anti-Muslim bigotry.”
