‘Cannot fathom what evil intent drives this behavior’: Local Colorado paper calls out Lauren Boebert
“Boebert is clearly incapable of remorse or reflection, so as her fellow Coloradans—a beautiful place of tolerance and respect, diversity and freedom—we will help her,” the paper’s editorial board wrote. “Omar deserved nothing short of a full apology.”
“We apologize to the Congresswoman and to the Muslim community for Boebert’s insensitive remarks,” it added. “Such remarks, no matter how innocently intended, have no place in American discourse.”
The newspaper noted that while it has “mostly tried to ignore” Boebert’s actions since she was elected to Congress in 2020 because “they add little to the public discourse,” they felt as though their wreckless state representative “crossed a line” and that they “must stand up for common decency.”
It added that the paper was “embarrassed a Colorado representative is engaged in widening this divide,” and addressed Rep. Omar directly: “[W]e are sorry we didn’t call her out the first time she used a derogatory reference toward you and other members of Congress who are women and minorities.”
The editorial board also acknowledged Boebert’s intent of using her “platform to peddle a gross and false narrative about Muslim Americans. We cannot fathom what evil intent drives this behavior, but after first apologizing, Boebert now has made matters worse.”

Tells you something about the GOP voters. ‘Heil Trump’ is heard many times now. Where is our democracy headed?

Not if we get out the vote of those who oppose despots and Hitler wannabes.
