“The other night on the House floor was not my first ‘jihad squad’ moment. So I was getting into an elevator with one of my staffers and he and I were leaving the Capitol, we’re going back to my office, and we get in the elevator and I see a Capitol officer running, hurriedly, to the elevator.
“I see sweat all over his face. And he’s reaching – the door’s shutting – I can’t open it. What’s happening? I look to my left and there she is, Ilhan Omar.
“And I said, ‘Well, she doesn’t have a backpack, we should be fine.’ So we only had to one floor to go and I said, ‘Oh look, the jihad squad has come to work today.” – QAnon Rep. Lauren Boebert, drawing peals of laughter from her supporters.
