“Not enough,” said Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-N.Y.), a first-term lawmaker from the Bronx and ally of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), the target of Boebert’s remarks. “We are in the majority; we have a responsibility to act; and we’re going to continue to push leadership to do just that.”

Behind Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.), the progressives are urging swift action on a resolution to strip Boebert of her committee assignments, as Democrats did earlier in the year with GOP Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (Ga.) and Paul Gosar (Ariz.), two conservative firebrands who promoted violent imagery or rhetoric against Democratic lawmakers.

Boebert, by contrast, did not explicitly advertise violence against Omar. But her suggestion that the Minnesota Democrat, one of only three Muslim lawmakers in Congress, poses a danger of terrorist violence has been followed by death threats against the Somali refugee. Those, in turn, are fueling the liberal campaign to yank Boebert from her committee assignments.

“There is no question that when another member suggested that [Omar] was a suicide bomber … that endangered her life,” said Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.).
