"Gosh darn he did some bad stuff but I might be able to ride his 'magic' coattails to a little more popularity and then when I'm long gone history can have him even though I knew he was awful before he was ever elected."

What a milquetoast.

What if the "magic" that has been growing the GOP, which Graham would "harness,"

actually emanates from that "dark side"?

I thought maybe this could go under this thread because the no young republican touts himself as:

I'm sure, since he didn't sign it, he will order his staff to take it down.  Soon.  I'm sure.

No sense starting a new thread since we were talking about "extremism" in this one.

This kind of "talk" or "idea" or "joke" wouldn't be funny normally...but at a fundraiser it seems right in step with Boeberts level of humor.

Fact, this buffoon looks down when she sees me at the Capitol, this whole story is made up. Sad she thinks bigotry gets her clout.

Anti-Muslim bigotry isn’t funny & shouldn’t be normalized. Congress can’t be a place where hateful and dangerous Muslims tropes get no condemnation. https://t.co/S1APT7RbqW

Yeah, not a fan of that kind of thing.  If only Omar were as quick to condemn her own virulent antisemitism then we might be on the path to seeing eye to eye instead of only condemning actions such as this if the person doing them doesn't have the right letter next to their name.

Credit where credit is due.  She apologized...

I apologize to anyone in the Muslim community I offended with my comment about Rep. Omar. I have reached out to her office to speak with her directly. There are plenty of policy differences to focus on without this unnecessary distraction.

How long until the next dumb/racist thing?  Probably not long once people tell her MAGA never admits being wrong.

I think among MAGA fans this apology is credit lost.

Well this was from the same event and she didn't apologize for being homophobic so she's probably ok with them.

Lauren Boebert once again lobbed a homophobic attack toward Pete Buttigieg saying he’s “still at home trying to figure out how to chestfeed.”

That’s one more bigoted comment from Lauren Boebert at the same event where she attacked Ilhan Omar with anti-Muslim rhetoric. pic.twitter.com/WLOgkH4WSk
