I keep seeing reports that progressives are condemning Colorado Represententative Lauren Boebert for saying Ilhan Omar was a member of the "Jihad Squad."
See Progressive Democrats wants action taken against Lauren Boebert and 'This Should Be Simple': AOC, Progressives Say Lauren Boebert Must Be Punished.
Ocasio-Cortez argued that Boebert should be stripped of House committee assignments for inciting "incredibly racist rhetoric against a specific colleague." https://t.co/rWQRmEuzFJ

But the people condemning her are not so much "progressive" as "non-white." Here’s the list of people agitating for Boebert to be punished.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.)
Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.)
Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.)
Representative Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.)
Representative Cori Bush (D-Mo.)
The only white progressive involved is Vermont’s Bernie Sanders, so "progressive" he supported a Viet Cong victory and honeymooned in Moscow during the Cold War.
Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) urged "the House Democratic leadership to take immediate action" in a tweet on Monday, maintaining that the "vicious hatred" Boebert had directed at Omar "has no place anywhere, especially not in Congress."
Of course, it’s not wrong to say that Omar as a Muslim supports jihad. The thing to do would be to refuse to apologize until Omar and friends condemned jihad itself, or Muslim terrorism specifically.
Then you could go on to ask all the Democrats who called conservative Republican Christians the "Taliban Wing" of the GOP to apologize.
Of course, some of those were non-white too.
[Bush chose] nominees from the Taliban wing of American politics, appeased the wretched appetites of the extreme right wing and chose cabinet officials whose devotion to the Confederacy is nearly canine in its uncritical affection.”

The point is that isn’t Leftist politics, it’s the Great Replacement.
