Mace Taunts Omar and Tlaib After Khamenei Death Report as Omar Calls Her Drunk

The exchange underscores a foreign‑policy flashpoint triggering Islamophobic taunts alongside the recycling of a debunked smear.

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

  • Rep. Nancy Mace posted, "My heart goes out to Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib tonight. Sending them thoughts and prayers," alongside coverage of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s reported death.
  • Rep. Ilhan Omar replied on X accusing Mace of having a drinking problem and urged her to stay off social media when intoxicated.
  • Mace later amplified a repeatedly debunked claim about Omar’s personal life, according to Salon’s account of the exchange.
  • In a separate reply highlighted by the New York Post, Mace mocked Omar’s wording and derided her staff as being from the "Third World."
  • The online clash followed reports that Khamenei was killed in U.S.-Israeli strikes, with Omar reiterating opposition to the military action and calling for a War Powers resolution; commentators also condemned Mace’s original post.
