Ilhan Omar Discusses Islamophobia and Republican Rhetoric in Interview

Published | Video Starts at 05:44

It was my understanding that this call was supposed to be about you expressing your understanding of why your words were hurtful and what you plan to do publicly about it. And she continued to talk. And I said, If you're not going to apologize and acknowledge your dangerous and hateful rhetoric, I'm going to hang up. And that's what I did. So what's perhaps most depressing about this whole episode is that we don't see, quote, unquote, moderate Republicans calling out Boebert or Greene for their remarks about you. (05:44–05:54)
