Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Friday slammed the leadership of House Democrats for not stripping Lauren Boebert, a Republican Representative from her assignments on the committee, Fox News informed.
The Democrat from New York blasted her own party while there is an ongoing feud between Boebert and another member of the Squad Representative Ilhan Omar from Minnesota.
Ocasio-Cortez said that the hesitation is an embarrassment and that there are different consequences for some different kinds of incitement or bigotry.
Boebert urged Omar to issue an apology after they had a tense phone call about Boebert’s comments on Minnesota Democrats’ religion.
Boebert stated that she managed to organize the phone call because she wanted to let Omar know that she reflected on previous comments.
Ilhan Omar released a statement in which she accused Boebert of the nature of the call and she confirmed that she put an end to that conversation.
This phone call has come as a response for Omar blaming the congressman from Colorado for inventing anti-Muslim narrative about her while she spoke to her supporters.
Kevin McCarthy, Republican from California and House Minority leader, stood in defense of Boebert, claiming that she had apologized for the comments that were insulting towards the religion of Ilhan Omar. .
