Firebrand Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) took issue Saturday with far-left Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-Minn.) claim that the US “loves to strike Muslim countries” during the holiest month on the Islamic calendar.
“Iraq was attacked by the US during Ramadan and it [is] sickening to know that the US is again going to attack Iran during Ramadan,” Omar wrote on X earlier this week, ahead of joint US-Israel airstrikes in Tehran.
“The US apparently loves to strike Muslim countries during Ramadan and I am convinced it isn’t what these countries have done to violate international law but about who they worship,” the “Squad” lawmaker charged.
Mace, who is running for governor in South Carolina, argued Omar sympathized more with “terrorists” than Americans and Israelis.
“I don’t give a s*** if it’s Ramadan. Why do you continue to simp for terrorists who want Americans and their allies dead,” Mace fired back in an X post directed at the Minnesota Democrat.

Ramadan commemorates the revelation of the Quran, the sacred scripture of Islam, to the Prophet Muhammad. It is marked by fasting, sacrifice and worship and this year falls between Feb. 17 and March 19.
In a separate post. Mace argued Omar “didn’t care that over 1,000 Jews were slaughtered on a Jewish holiday.”
“Maybe sit this one out terrorist lover,” the South Carolina Republican seethed.
Omar quickly condemned the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas terror attack on Israel but immediately called for a “deescalation and ceasefire” from Israel.
The Minnesota Democrat’s post was also fact-checked on X.
“The Iraq invasion began on March 20, 2003 and major combat operations were declared over on May 1, months before Ramadan that year,” read the note adding additional context.
“Surveys also show that in Iran only about 37% of the population identifies as Muslim, while nearly half describe themselves as non-religious,” it continued.
In response to Mace’s criticism, Omar shared a post from lefty columnist Wajahat Ali that read: “Nancy Mace is fine bombing fasting families in Iran during Ramadan for Operation Epstein.”
