..."Boebert told the outlet the question was in jest and that she made it as a dig against Democrats who accused her of conducting large tours for people days before the Capitol riot happened.
“I saw a large group and made a joke. Sadly, when Democrats see the same, they demonize my family for a year straight,” she said, adding that some people “got” the joke in the group.
The person leading the group was an Orthodox Jewish individual with a traditional beard while others had yarmulkes on.
“I’m too short to see anyone’s yarmulkes,” Boebert said.
The rabbi told Buzzfeed News “people are very sensitive” after the Texas hostage situation at a synagogue.
The Hill has reached out to Boebert and Suozzi for comment."
