Donald Trump praised embattled Congresswoman Lauren Boebert on Wednesday as the Colorado Republican faces calls for punishment after anti-Muslim remarks aimed at Ilhan Omar.

"Congresswoman Lauren Boebert has done a fantastic job in her first term representing Colorado's Third District," the former President published in an announcement from his Save America PAC.

"She is a fearless leader, a defender of the America First Agenda, and a fighter against the Loser RINOs and radical Democrats," Trump continued. "She will continue to be tough on crime, strong on borders, and always protect our under-siege second amendment."

"Lauren has my complete and total endorsement for her reelection!"

Boebert represents Colorado's mostly rural and considerably red 3rd congressional district along the state's western side. She is running for reelection in that district in the 2022 midterms, which will determine the fate of a closely divided House and Senate.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy has announced Boebert will not meet retribution from him, despite making a suicide bomb joke directed at Representative Ilhan Omar – a hijab-wearing Democrat part of the Progressive "squad."

Some Republicans have even called for punishment of Boebert, specifically South Carolina Representative Nancy Mace.

In the video, Boebert announced: "One of my staffers, on his first day with me, got into an elevator in the Capitol. And in that elevator, we were joined by Ilhan Omar."

"Well, it was just us three in there and I looked over and I said, "Well, lookey there, it's the Jihad Squad,'' she told the audience, grinning as the room broke into laughter and applause.

"I do have to say she doesn't have a backpack, she wasn't dropping it and running so we're good," she went on.

In the same clip, Boebert called Omar and Tlaib, who are Muslim, "evil" and "black-hearted."

Mace denounced "racist tropes" and "disgusting comments" on both sides of the aisle after Boebert's remarks were published by CNN in late November.

New York Republican Congressman Tom Reed told CNN: "This has to stop."

"[I] condemn the kind of comments that were made by my colleague in Congress towards a fellow colleague on the other side of the aisle. This is a pox on all our houses," he went on. "We have degraded to a point in the institution of Congress [to a] level of hate I've never felt before."

Establishment Democrats have made clear they don't think it's their job to take action against Boebert, or any other Republican lawmakers. Instead, they want McCarthy and different GOP leadership to keep their members in check.
