Rep. Ilhan Omar got into a brutal verbal spat on social media with Republican Georgia Sen. Kelly Loeffler and Georgia Representative-elect Marjorie Taylor Greene on Friday – including a personal shot about the Democrat possibly having married her brother.
The dustup was kicked off by Loeffler, who pointed out Omar’s recent defense of Georgia Senate candidate Raphael Warnock.
Warnock is facing Loeffler in a January runoff.
Omar recently posted a defense of Warnock’s controversial comments in which he said, “nobody can serve God and the military.”
“It’s no wonder The Squad fully supports [Warnock]: He totally supports their dangerous & extreme agenda,” Loeffler tweeted. “And [Ilhan Omar] completely agrees with his disgraceful comments about our active service members, veterans, and their families.”

Omar Responds, But The Georgia Republican Women Aren’t Having It
Rather than saying she supports the military and refuting the claims, Omar replied with the kind of pre-teen mentality you’ve come to expect from the “Squad.”
She even tossed in a threat for good measure.
“Blatant lies from the disastrous, insider trading, Qanon conspiracy supporting, fear-mongering, appointed Kelly,” Omar wrote. “Pro tip: to win an election you run on ideas, debate your actual opponent and defend your record, not run against the Squad.”
“Ask Trump,” she added, “he f***ed around and found out.”

By any measure, the Trump/Biden vote was an anomaly, as extremists in the party actually cost the Democrats dearly in this election.
But to throw in a threat that Loeffler essentially better not “f*** around?” Stay classy, Omar.
Loeffler replied by referencing Omar’s comments dismissing the 9/11 terrorist attacks as “some people did something” and advised that she “should be expelled from Congress.”
Ilhan,
We saw the video of you smiling and laughing while talking about al-Qaeda & 9/11.
We know that you funneled MILLIONS of dollars to your new husband’s “consulting” firm.
And we know that you’re an unabashed anti-Semite.
You should be expelled from Congress. https://t.co/DQxcWG7m7q

Marjorie Taylor Greene Chimes In On Ilhan Omar – ‘You Married Your Brother’ So …
Omar dismissed Loeffler’s criticisms by suggesting she’d help her in “writing real clap back,” a signal that she had no real rebuttal and an indication that the radical Democrat is more interested in style points than substance.
Still, Greene couldn’t resist joining in the effort to embarrass Ilhan Omar, referencing reports and allegations that she the Minnesota congresswoman married her brother.
“Back down [Ilhan Omar],” she replied. “You married your brother, so you’re disqualified from running your mouth.”
Back down @IlhanMN
You married your brother, so you’re disqualified from running your mouth. https://t.co/PUAVt1z5KL

Omar fired back by calling Greene “the crazy lady” and suggested she needs to carry herself with a little more grace now that she’s in Congress.
You know, as Omar did just minutes prior in saying the President “f***ed around and found out.”
Looks like the crazy lady has logged on.
I know things might be different where you come from, but you have to get off the looney train now that you are in Congress. https://t.co/yfURE3fTX9

Greene, however, was undeterred.
“Don’t even get me started on where you come from,” she said. “We don’t marry our brothers here in America, so I’m not sure who you’re calling crazy.”

In June of 2019, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reported on documents raising questions as to whether Ilhan Omar previously married her own brother as a means to “skirt immigration laws.”
In January, Fox News correspondent Trace Gallagher indicated investigations by the Department of Education and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) involved allegations of “perjury, immigration fraud, tax fraud, student loan fraud, and possibly bigamy.”
