Summary
Reps. Ilhan Omar and Sarah McBride mocked Rep. Nancy Mace after she lost the South Carolina GOP gubernatorial primary. Mace had previously announced that she would not seek re-election and would return to the private sector. Omar responded to Mace’s announcement with a post on X, saying “One-way ticket to where you came from with your name on it, Nancy.” Mace fired back, saying “Say what you want about me, but I would never marry my brother.” The exchange referenced a previous post by Mace that suggested Omar should return to Somalia.
