As the Trump administration launched a surprise attack on Iran on Saturday (Feb. 28), Republican congresswoman Nancy Mace decided to use it to troll other members of the House of Representatives – specifically Representatives Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan. That led to Omar firing back at Mace in a way that brought immediate online attention.
Mace’s post on X, formerly Twitter, quoted a report by Fox News that declared Iran’s Supreme Commander Ali Hosseini Khamenei was killed in the airstrikes. “My heart goes out to Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib tonight. Sending them thoughts and prayers,” Mace wrote.
