i'll keep your right to keep and bare arms unlike ilhan omar supports the government coming to your door and confiscating guns. i believe that life is the most precious gift from god. others like ilhan have voted for abortion even after a child is born. i support law and order. she supporting ending cash bail and putting more people on the streets like the psycho in waukesha, wisconsin. these policies are dangerous. the policies that i disagree with ilhan omar are dangerous. her policies attack our allies and support terrorists. >> laura: i have an idea. congress woman, i have an idea. why don't you challenge her to a debate? >> i would love a debate. >> laura: on this show. we'll do it on this show. >> right here on the show. that would be fantastic. >> laura: i'll step aside. >> these are the dangerous policies that are crippling our nation. it's disheartening to see someone that hates america serving in the united states of representatives. i love america. that's the difference here. i would accept that debate to be here on your show with congress woman ilhan omar. she held a press co

after that, she called congresswoman ilhan omar, she tweeted apologizing but then she doubled down into video to twitter, again saying and repeating some of those same remarks she made. today omar broke her silence, as she did another time in the last week. she's not typically very open to the press and she's not typically one to speak out about these things. but she said again that she's disappointed with the leadership of the republican party. she slammed leader kevin mccarthy and she also suggested that she got some assurances from democratic leadership, namely speaker nancy pelosi, that she might just do something about this herself. take a listen to that bite. >> i've had a conversation with the speaker. and i'm very confident that she will take decisive action next week. as you know, when i first got to congress, i was worried that i wasn't going to be allowed to be sworn in because there was a ban on the hijab. she promised she she would take care of it. she fulfilled that promise. she made another promise to me that she will take care of this and i believe her. >> reporter: so i

i'll speak exclusively to congressman ilhan omar in moments. plus democratic senator chris murphy. >>> hello, i'm jake tapper in washington. where the state of our union is trying to stay calm. south africa's president says hospitalizations from omicron are not increasing as an alarming rate, as more cases across the united states confirm cases of the new omicron covid variant and scientists race to understand how dangerous this variant really is. president biden is laying out his plan to make it through what could be a difficult winter, including tighter travel rules, free at-home testing and a major push to get more booster shots into arms. while the concerns over this new variant dominate the headlines, the delta variant continues to cause misery across the united states. nearly every state saw a steep rise in covid caseless over the past week. the country is back more than 100,000 cases a day for the first time in two months. let's go straight to dr. anthony fauci, director of the national institute of al her jooe and infectious diseases an

of minnesota. >> i looked to my left and there she is, ilhan omar.hould be fine. >> mccarthy standing by boebert, even as she doubles down on her hateful comments. here to respond is democratic congresswoman ilhan omar of minnesota. congresswoman, thanks for being here. i want to start with those comments, boebert comparing you to a terrorist suicide bomber. what is it like to hear that kind of blatant bigotry, coming from a fellow member of the house of representatives? >> it's shocking and unacceptable. it's very unbecoming of a congresswoman to use that kind of derogatory, dangerous, inciting language against a colleague. many of us thought post 9/11 that we were on the mend. when i first won, i remember getting phone calls from across the world from heads of states and prime ministers and foreign ministers congratulating me because they thought america was past its sort of post 9/11 islamaphobia. and to see this happen right now in the halls of congress really is damaging not just to the muslim community, to myself, but to the kind of country we

one lauren boebert from colorado saying islamic things about ilhan omar, we-- is all of this kind of part of the political legacy here of bob dole? >> you know, what was interesting about the era that bob dole was in congress, there were also most members, who had served in the military. 75 percent of the members of congress in the early '70s had some level of military service. and i think there was something really important about that era because they could, as tamed said, fight on the floor, fight over issues, even get into, you know, prettee acerbic back and forth but fundamental fundamentally understand thed were on the same team, i may have a blue scrersee or red jersey, one of the powerful moments of bob dole's life, especially his later life, that in a way, liberal democrat from hawaii, also served in world war ii, also was grievously injured,

recent anti-muslim comments toward congresswoman ilhan omar. >> it is shameful we have had to wait this long for meaningful action for accountability, but here we are. for a member of congress to repeatedly and unapologetically use hateful, racist and islamic phobic troeps is dangerous. >> the resolution coming the day after she put out this christmas photo showing her children holding semiautomatic weapons. good evening to my guests. so anna, look, this is getting out of control. kevin mccarthy nowhere to be found. the leadership void in the gop is really absolutely astounding. >> it is. obviously, kevin mccarthy wants to be the speaker of the house should republicans win, and he knows he has a problem on his right flank. and he's trying not to rile them up. but what's being shown is a lack of leadership, a lack of

i told ilhan omar, she should make a public apology to the american people for her anti-american, anti-semitic, anti-police rhetoric. >> reporter: omar is now calling on republicans to condemn boebert's remarks. so far, few have. one democrat is demanding boebert be stripped of her committee assignments. omar took heat for comparing israel and hamas and the taliban. she said her comments were misunderstood and apologized. >>> coming up, why dr. oz is running for the u.s. senate. running for the u.s. senate. >>> and actor jesse my nunormal? fewer asthma attacks with nucala. a once-monthly add-on injection for severe eosinophilic asthma. nucala reduces eosinophils, a key cause of severe asthma. nucala is not for sudden breathing problems. allergic reactions can occur. get help right away for swelling of face, mouth, tongue or trouble breathing. infections that can cause shingles have occurred. don't stop steroids unless told by your doctor. tell your doctor if you have a parasitic infection. may cause headache, injection site reactions, back pain, and fatigue. ask your doctor about nucala. find

she has called ilhan omar a suicide bomber, and the amount of harm and violence that that has done not only to my good friend representative omar who travels in an armored vehicle with six security guards everywhere she goes, but also to muslims across the country and to any population to whom violence can be incited from a member of congress. and so i think it is very important that there's accountability, and we have to be consistent about this. we can't act when there are acts of violence against certain populations but suddenly when it gets to muslims and islamophobia there is no action. so that is why ayanna pressley has led the resolution, but i'm proud to co-lead with her. prior to that i worked with the chairs of the congressional black caucus, the congressional

lauren boebert suggesting to her supporters that congresswoman ilhan omar was mistaken by capitol police for a suicide bomber. a terrorist in the halls of congress. boebert issued a nonapology apology, sorry for anyone she offended, not sorry to omar, and the two talked and things got worse. boebert doubled down on her islamophobic comments after the call, said she doesn't sympathize with terrorists like omar. this isn't like when my 3 and 5-year-old are culpable in a spat. lauren boebert is in the wrong here and so are republicans who are sticking up for her or republican leaders like kevin mccarthy who is sitting by doing effectively nothing about this bigotry and therefore enabling and encouraging it. >> she wants attention and mayhem. so these are just some of the adjectives that lawmakers are using lately to describe each other and public official liar, tattle tale, grifter, communist, murderer, suicide bomber, terrorist, sympathizer, buffoon.

it is needed for comments made toward ilhan omar. >> it is shameful we have had to wait this long for meaningful action, meaningful accountability, but here we are. for a member of congress to repeatedly and unapologetically use hateful racist and islamophobic tropes towards a muslim colleague is dangerous. >> the house is planning to advance omar's legislation to create a special envoy to combat islam phobia today. it is the first step they are taking since implying omar is a terrorist. >>> day two in the trial of a former minnesota police officer who fatally shot daunte wright during a traffic stop is expected to begin in the coming hours. emotions were running high as wright's mother was the first to testify on wednesday. cnn's josh campbell has more. >> reporter: this was a moment officer kim potter says she made a fatal mistake, which cost 20-year-old daunte wright his life. >> [ bleep ]. i just shot him.

bit of the news conference you took part in this week with muslim members of congress, including ilhan omars when omar revealed a threatening voice mail she received. >> we see you muslim, we know what you're up to. don't worry, would love the opportunity to take you off the face of this [ bleep ] earth. muslim piece of [ bleep ] jihadist. >> you know, that kind of thing leaves me speechless, but i'm curious what goes through your mind when you hear it. have you ever had to deal with threats like this? >> i receive death threats monthly. they call and threaten me, threaten our staff. during the insurrection on january 6th, a man was apprehended with explosives in his vehicle, and he had a list of names and my name was included on that list, he said two muslims but there are three muslims. i get death threats all the time, in my district i have the sheriff's department, local police department with me at major events. so i'm always concerned about it, which is why i'm so sympathetic and empathetic with congresswoman ilhan's life being in jeopardy because i relate to it, and this has occurred

congresswoman lauren boebert suggesting congresswoman ilhan omar might be a suicide bomber.ne-and-done thing. last night, we played remarks she made this month in which she talked about the police officer running for the elevator she was in. well today, cnn's k-file uncovered this from september. >> one of my staffers, on his first day with me, got into an elevator in the capitol. and in the -- in the elevator, we are joined by ilhan omar. well, it was just us three in there. i looked over and i said, well, look at this. the jihad squad.

the kind of policies championed by ilhan omar.olicies continue to vote democrat. a big part is the democrats racism smear. republicans are racist. you cannot vote for them. the truth is were not going to turn things around like chicago here in california unless i do vote republican. if you love america you hate to see what's happening in blue states. it is horrible we need change a revolution a political revolution where the republican party becomes what we have long argued for here. a multiracial working class coalition. we know, the democrats and the media stooges were called racist. they call their opponents racist. but we don't have to make it easy for them, we don't have to help them in their smears read every time a republican comes out with a stupid comment that confirms the last character culture is suspect progress in the multiracial coalition. i know ill hunt omar is never held accountable by pelosi or the media for her bigotry. and abiding himself runs around and has a reese's mindset. so what was that the plan to be as

she is accusing him of enabling threats against a minnesota congresswoman ilhan omar and other womenr. she tweeted people truly don't understand the scale, intensity of volume of threats targeting at ilhan omar. kevin mccarthy is so desperate to be speaker that he is working with his ku klux klan caucus to look aside and allow violent targeting of woc members of congress. this cannot be ignored. the comments come as we learn "new york magazine" has provided essays on her focusing on the rare authenticity and the role her beauty plays. kat timpf is a fox nation host and co-host of gut field and quite lovely. that's not the actmen that people who voted for her are looking for. >> as a piece of literature i'm not sure i'm interested in reading a fawning, perfectly fawning profile or series of thing about anybody. except me. everybody feels that way about themselves. but to read something you want to be a bit more dynamic than that than just a book of how she not only is perfect but looks perfect. i can't imagine that being an interesting read. >> harris: what do you make of the whole id

she made bigoted slurs against ilhan omar. >> and there she is, ilhan omar.rter: decorum from democracy is not just one member's actions, but tha this behavior was applauded, as it was in her case. crassness, once seen as a lack of carbon is considered the right artillery. congressman pa paul -- if party leaders respond by doing more than wrinkling a brow, these colleagues aim their suggestions at them. nancy maze was one of the few voices in her party to speak out. courtroom marjorie taylor greene attacked her and said she was just speaking for the party voters. party leaders agree, which is why they stay mum. they need those voters in 2022 to win back control. those turn on their leaders when those leaders try to govern. when speaker newt gingrich resigned, he railed against cannibals in his own party the. and speaker john boehner used the term for these members that bobbert would recognize. he called them political terrorists. >> brennan: and we'll be right back. they learned how on. what will you learn? >> brennan: that's >> brennan: that's it for us toda

they should strip her of committees not just for her comments on ilhan omar, which she doubled down onrs and the violent insurrection and the fact that she flouts this metal detection. boebert has never met a gun she didn't want to marry and make love to. black folks and muslims and the democratic party is tokenizing us and the centrist voter that drinks real coffee and has not voted for them in the 1950s and forget the '90s and i'm talking about the strategy in the '50s and '60s and instead will, have the virginia election of terry mcauliffe and they blame the squad. some people blame the squad for that loss. it was terry ran a weak campaign. so they're internalizing this language and this type of bad faith attacks on the squad to win over some white voters and not realizing that it's affecting the rest of us and it is a losing messaging because instead they have to flip the script and attack them for being radicals and extremists and if you're not telling people that, you are losing. >> raj, his book is currently available for pre-order and jean, thank you both so much. >>> when we r

ilhan omar is right. he is absolutely a coward. that is not leadership.ut i will say, and she is correct in her diagnosis of the party and mccarthy and the boeberts of the party. completely correct. but i will say this is not a fight that is good for anyone on either side, in either party. ilhan omar, i have long commented on and written about her extensive anti-semitic remarks which i think are indefensible and repeated. as recently as this past june she was stepping on it. and offending members of her own party. adler, for example. these are not the best advocates for two very important messages about anti-semitism and islamophobia. these are very imperfect messengers. and i think both parties should kind of want this dispute to be settled and go away. i don't think it looks good for either party. >> she said she's confident pelosi will step in and punish boebert. >> probably. but whatever the benepunishment i think it benefits boebert. we saw literally the days after this controversy erupted, she is posting fund-raising calls on twitter. this i think w

progressive colleagues that calls for consequences for congresswoman boebert after her comments about ilhan omaryou signed on to this, and what would you like to see after those islamaphobic comments? >> well, first of all, i'm speaking personally, and i have to say that these comments were despicable, and it shows the speaker pelosi has really asked her members, in terms of input, in terms of our response. and so, yes, i'm going to sign whatever letter comes forth because i do believe that she should be stripped of her committees. you know, hate speech leads to hate violence, and leader mccarthy, he's just lost control over his unhinged caucus, and so we're working now to try to make sure that we move forward with the most appropriate measures, and i do believe, personally, again, i'm not speaking for any caucus or anyone else, i'm speaking on behalf of myself, that she should be held accountable. hate speech leads to hate violence. this is not only about attacking a religion, the muslim religion. what it does is set people up to be attacked as relates to their physical security. we know that w

take a listen to what congresswoman ilhan omar had to say about senator manchin yesterday. watch this. >> we all knew that senator manchin couldn't be trusted. you know, the excuses that he just made i think are complete [bleep]. it is really disheartening to hear him say that he has been trying to get there for the people of west virginia. because that's a complete lie. carley: when it comes down to it, joe manchin was really clear yesterday. he said the reason he is voting no is because he rea liesed that democrats were sort of disingenuous with how they were doing the matt had. it wasn't that they were cutting things out. it was they were adding these essentially fake sunsets so rather than saying that you're going to fund something for five or six years, they cut it down to one. and his bottom line is that he is worried about inflation and what inflation is already doing to the people of west virginia and what it will do if this social spending bill passes. todd: i think the attitude you hear from ilhan omar rubs so many people the wrong way because you represent a very
