“#Rep. Ilhan Omar gets into smackdown with Georgia GOP women<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n Georgia\u2019s Senate runoff race has spawned a vicious social<\/a>-media insult-fest pitting Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar against two Peach State Republican women \u2014 revealing worsening partisan bad blood in Congress.<\/p>\n

GOP Sen. Kelly Loeffler threw the first punch on Twitter Friday, after Omar defended Georgia Senate Dem candidate Raphael Warnock for saying that \u201cno one can serve God and the military\u201d \u2014 fighting words in a state that supports multiple military bases.<\/p>\n

\u201c@IlhanMN completely agrees with his disgraceful comments about our active service members, veterans, and their families,\u201d Loeffler posted<\/a>, adding that \u201cThe Squad\u201d \u2014 the group of four progressive congresswomen that includes Omar and AOC \u2014 shares Warnock\u2019s \u201cdangerous & extreme agenda.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBlatant lies,\u201d Omar responded<\/a>. \u201cPro tip: to win an election you run on ideas, debate your actual opponent and defend your record, not run against the Squad. Ask Trump, he f#%d around and found out.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou should be expelled from Congress,\u201d Loeffler replied<\/a>, citing \u201cthe video of you smiling and laughing while talking about al-Qaeda & 9\/11\u201d and reports that the Democrat funneled $2.9 million to her husband\u2019s consulting firm. \u201cWe know that you\u2019re an unabashed anti-Semite.\u201d<\/p>\n

Omar shot back: \u201cKelly, I just won my re-election and [you\u2019re] about to lose your job.\u201d<\/p>\n

This brought Georgia\u2019s GOP Congresswoman-elect Marjorie Taylor Greene into the fray.<\/p>\n

\u201cBack down,\u201d Greene wrote<\/a>. \u201cYou married your brother, so you\u2019re disqualified from running your mouth.\u201d In January, The Post reported on an FBI probe of allegations that Omar had committed immigration fraud through her 2009 marriage to Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, her rumored brother.<\/p>\n

\u201cLooks like the crazy lady has logged on,\u201d Omar retorted to Greene, who has been censored by Twitter for promoting right-wing conspiracy theories, including some popularized by QAnon. \u201cYou have to get off the looney train now that you are in Congress.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
