Reps. Ilhan Omar, Nancy Mace feud on X following Iranian leader’s death

WASHINGTON (TNND) — Minnesota Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar and South Carolina GOP Rep. got into a public social media fight following the death of Iran Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.

The U.S. over the weekend conducted drone strikes across Iran, resulting in the death of Khamenei.

Following the leader’s death, there were reportedly people dancing and celebrating in the street in Tehran.

“My heart goes out to Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib tonight,” Mace wrote on X, following the news. “Sending them thoughts and prayers.”

Omar responded shot back and made comments about Mace having a drinking problem.

“I hope you aren’t drunk and took your staff’s advice, Rashida and I don’t know this man and feel confident he didn’t care about us,” she wrote on X.

“Please restrain from drinking too much as you have been warned from your staff and stay off social media when you are drunk. I pray in his holy month you find peace and respect for your self.”

Earlier this month, one of Mace’s former staffers came out and said that the congresswoman has a drinking problem.

Mace responded to Omar with, “So tell me, what was it like being married to your brother?”

Omar was married to Ahmed Elmi from 2009 to 2017 and reported rumors that they are siblings and got married so she could become a citizen faster.
