Ilhan Omar Rebukes Nancy Mace Over Khamenei Post as Mace Revives Debunked Attack

The exchange followed Mace’s post about Khamenei’s reported killing, reviving long-debunked attacks on Omar.

WASHINGTON, DC - JULY 23: U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) speaks as the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Subcommittee on Federal Law Enforcement meets in the Rayburn House Office Building on July 23, 2025 in Washington, DC. Members of the subcommittee passed a motion to subpoena the so-called "Epstein files" following a hearing titled, “Catch and Release, Lose and Forget: Addressing the Crisis of Unaccompanied Alien Children”.

Overview

  • After reports that Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was killed in U.S.-Israeli strikes, Rep. Nancy Mace posted on X, “My heart goes out to Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib tonight. Sending them thoughts and prayers,” alongside a Fox News graphic.
  • Rep. Ilhan Omar responded on X accusing Mace of being drunk and advising her to stay off social media, referencing former staffers’ allegations reported by New York Magazine that Mace denies.
  • Mace replied by mocking Omar’s wording and repeating the long-refuted claim that Omar married her brother, a rumor numerous fact checks have debunked and Omar has publicly denied.
  • Mace has also defended herself against the drinking allegations by citing hemochromatosis, saying any alcohol worsens the condition and rejecting claims that she “imbibes.”
  • The feud follows months of tension that included Mace’s failed House effort to censure Omar (214–213) and Omar’s criticism of the Iran strikes as unlawful, with calls for Congress to reassert war powers.
