Boebert said she witnessed a Capitol police officer run toward them \u201cwith fret all over his face\u201d to try and stop the elevator door from closing, while the two were inside.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI look to my left and there she is: Ilhan Omar. And I said, \u2018Well, she doesn\u2019t have a backpack. We should be fine,\u2019\u201d Boebert said in the video, as her supporters cheered. \u201cI looked over and I said, \u2018Oh look, the jihad squad decided to show up for work today.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t worry, it\u2019s just her staffers on Twitter that talk for her.
