Reps. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., and Sarah McBride, D-Del., mocked Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., after the Republican got shellacked in the South Carolina GOP gubernatorial primary.
“Headed back to the private sector at the end of this term, as the Founders intended. When I ran in 2020 I said I’d only serve 3 terms and my time is up. It’s truly been an immense honor and I wouldn’t trade it for anything else,” Mace wrote in a Wednesday post on X.
Omar, who was born in Somalia, chimed in, taking a jab at Mace.
“One-way ticket to where you came from with your name on it, Nancy,” the Democrat wrote in post on X, adding a hand waving emoji.
Mace fired back at Omar, “Say what you want about me, but I would never marry my brother.”

Last year in a post from her @RepNancyMace X account, Mace had declared, “One-way ticket to Somalia with your name on it, Ilhan Omar.”
Mace, who has served in the U.S. House of Representatives since early 2021, placed fifth in the Republican gubernatorial primary, while the first and second place finishers, South Carolina Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette and state Attorney General Alan Wilson will go head to head in a GOP gubernatorial primary runoff.

“Say what you want about us, but at least we’ve never been confused about what gender we are, and we’d never marry our brother,” a Wednesday post on Mace’s @RepNancyMace X account declared.
