Marina Zimmerman, who is challenging Boebert in the Republican main retweeted the out-going Kinzinger, writing, “Assist me take out the trash.”
Kinzinger’s tweet comes on the heels of feedback Boebert made in a now-viral video during which she mocked Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) as a possible terror threat.
“So the other night time on the Home flooring was now not my first jihad squad second,” Boebert said in the clip.
“So I was once coming into an elevator with one in all my staffers. And he and I are – we’re leaving the Capitol. We’re going back to my workplace and we get in the elevator, and I see a Capitol Police officer running hurriedly to the elevator,” Boebert jested, telling an it seems that “made up” anecdote as a comic story.
Boebert, who represents the western slope of Colorado, apologized on Twitter Friday, saying, “I ask for forgiveness to any individual within the Muslim community I offended with my remark about Rep. Omar. I’ve reached out to her place of job to talk along with her instantly.”
I say sorry to anyone within the Muslim neighborhood I offended with my comment about Rep. Omar. I have reached out to her place of work to speak along with her directly. There are many coverage variations to focal point on without this needless distraction.

Omar spoke back to the clip Thrusday, writing, “Fact, this buffoon seems to be down when she sees me on the Capitol, this entire story is made up. Unhappy she thinks bigotry will get her clout.”
Reality, this buffoon appears down when she sees me at the Capitol, this complete story is made up. Sad she thinks bigotry gets her clout.
Anti-Muslim bigotry isn’t humorous & shouldn’t be normalized. Congress can’t be a spot the place hateful and dangerous Muslims tropes get no condemnation. https://t.co/S1APT7RbqW
