Ilhan Omar Isn’t Taking Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Racist Taunts — “Get Off The Looney Train Now That You’re In Congress”
Q-anon-spouting Congresswoman-elect Marjorie Taylor Greene and incumbent Senator Kelly Loeffler have both turned their Twitter sights to targeting “the squad” — Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley and Rashida Tlaib. However, these representatives don’t back down, and Ilhan Omar is not ignoring racist attacks from Greene. On Twitter Friday, the congresswoman fired back at her soon-to-be colleague.

It started with a post from Kelly Loeffler, who is currently a Senator from Georgia, and is facing a runoff election in January to see whether she keeps her seat. She shared an article from the conservative site Free Beacon, attacking her opponent Raphael Warnock, and by extension, Ilhan Omar for agreeing with a point Warnock made in a sermon about “serving two masters,” quoting from the Bible. She tried to spin it as Warnock attacking members of the military.
It’s no wonder The Squad fully supports @ReverendWarnock: He totally supports their dangerous & extreme agenda.
And @IlhanMN completely agrees with his disgraceful comments about our active service members, veterans, and their families. https://t.co/bgSkXOR7rg #gapol #gasen

Ilhan responded, calling out Loeffler for lying and for being “disastrous, insider trading, Qanon conspiracy supporting, fear-mongering” and appointed rather than elected, and warned her not to “run against the squad,” repeating her assessment from earlier this month that Trump “f#%d around and found out”
Blatant lies from the disastrous, insider trading, Qanon conspiracy supporting, fear mongering, appointed Kelly.
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, he f#%d around and found out. https://t.co/12vCGNLxEs

Loeffler jumped in with a slew of personal attacks, including accusing Omar of laughing about 9/11 — a blatant lie, as reported here by the Associated Press. She also referred to Omar’s campaign’s use of her husband’s consulting firm as “funneling money” — without the context that would make it clear it’s not an accusation of embezzling government funds or of anything illegal or unethical.
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

When Omar made light of the attempted attacks, that’s when Marjorie Taylor Greene felt the need to jump in. She repeated the old, false, racist claim that Omar married her brother. The Tampa Bay Times covered this previously, explaining thoroughly that this was an assertion made by partisan entities without any supporting evidence.
Sorry Kelly, if you need help writing real clap back, I am here to help.
This ain’t it, try harder. https://t.co/a4ooVrMMWk

Back down @IlhanMN
You married your brother, so you’re disqualified from running your mouth. https://t.co/PUAVt1z5KL

However, Omar isn’t letting Greene’s racist attack bother her. She warned the Congresswoman-Elect that “looney” might go over well in Greene’s part of Georgia (where she received less than 75% of the vote despite running unopposed), but won’t fly in Congress.
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
