Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar on Sunday called House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy a « liar and a coward » and said the Republican Party was « normalizing anti-Muslim bigotry. » Omar’s comments follow weeks of back-and-forth between herself and Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert, a Republican, who at an event in November implied that Omar, who is Muslim, was a terrorist. « It’s shocking and unacceptable, » Omar, a Democrat, said in an interview on CNN’s « State of the Union » on Sunday. « And it’s very unbecoming of a congresswoman to use that kind of derogatory, dangerous, inciting language against a colleague.
