Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Georgia Republican, posted an Islamophobic tweet attacking Representative Ilhan Omar, a Minnesota Democrat, saying people should "never apologize" to her and the group of progressive lawmakers Greene has dubbed the "Jihad Squad.".

The attack from Greene comes after fellow GOP Representative Lauren Boebert of Colorado shared a fake story with constituents about getting into an elevator with Omar at the Capitol—comparing the Muslim congresswoman to a suicide bomber.

After strong backlash, Boebert issued an apology to the Muslim community.

"@IlhanMN and the Jihad Squad are all three and are undeserving of an apology.".

Greene's post retweeted Arthur Schwartz, who argued that "Boebert was wrong" and claimed that Omar "just wants to use your money to pay" terrorists.

In the clip, Boebert shares a story about getting into an elevator with Omar.

Some commentators also slammed Boebert's apology, saying it didn't go far enough.

"Lauren Boebert, you know, she tweeted out sort of this half-hearted apology saying, to anyone in the Muslim community I offended with my comment about Representative Omar.

We're not seeing an apology to Congresswoman Omar, though.

Also, no actual apology here from Boebert to her Congressional colleague for suggesting she might be a suicide bomber.

Representative Rashida Tlaib, a Michigan Democrat who is also Muslim, defended Omar.
