Ocasio-Cortez: 'Embarrassment' that Democratic leaders are delaying Boebert punishment

[stopdiggin]

19. thinking that it has to do

with taking a reading of where sentiment lies within the membership. I'm assuming if the level of outrage and offense was sufficient, the response would reflect that. But I'm just guessing.

Here's the response that leadership issued:

On Friday, House Democratic leaders released a statement criticizing Boebert's remarks and demanding Republican leaders address them with her.

"Congresswoman Boebert's repeated, ongoing and targeted Islamophobic comments and actions against another member of Congress, Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, are both deeply offensive and concerning," the statement reads. "We call on Congresswoman Boebert to fully retract these comments and refrain from making similar ones going forward."

That apparently didn't suffice for some members (as in the OP) - and that's OK too. Difference of opinion.
