US EditionReps. Ilhan Omar, Nancy Mace Feud on X Following Iranian Leader's Death
Rep. Ilhan Omar criticized Rep. Nancy Mace for an Islamophobic post after Iran's Supreme Leader's death, highlighting ongoing tensions and personal accusations between the lawmakers.
- On March 1, 2026, Ilhan Omar replied on X, accusing Nancy Mace of posting despite staff warnings after Mace shared a Fox News graphic about Khamenei's death.
- Late Saturday, after U.S. strikes reportedly killed Khamenei, Mace posted a Fox News graphic targeting Omar and Tlaib, reviving debunked allegations from earlier this month.
- The dispute revived long-standing debunked allegations when Mace shared a false claim that Omar married her brother, despite Omar marrying Ahmed Hirsi in 2009 and fact-checkers dismissing the rumor.
- Critics responded that Rep. Nancy Mace's 'thoughts and prayers' post was deeply Islamophobic, while Mace denied alcoholism and explained her hemochromatosis requires phlebotomies.
- Observers say the episode underscores a pattern of clashes between Mace and Omar that have escalated since earlier incidents, reflecting ongoing harassment of Muslim lawmakers.
