Representative Ilhan Omar (D-MN), just called out Representative Nancy Mace (R-SC), accusing her of being “drunk” while posting online. Per Newsweek, this fiery exchange came after Mace took a cheap shot at Omar and Representative Rashida Tlaib following the reported death of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Mace kicked off the digital spat, posting an image that showed Khamenei and a headline confirming his death on X. She then added, “My heart goes out to Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib tonight. Sending them thoughts and prayers.” Tlaib (D-MI) is the only Palestinian American woman in Congress, and like Omar, she’s been openly critical of U.S. Middle East policies. Mace’s post was clearly meant as a facetious jab, playing on their shared Muslim faith and views.
