Knowing how and when to pick your battles is everything in the world of politics and beyond.
Minnesota Dem Rep. Ilhan Omar seemingly has yet to learn that valuable lesson and stepped in it bigly when she picked a needless fight with outgoing GOP South Carolina Rep. Nancy Mace.
After losing her primary in the South Carolina gubernatorial race, Mace took to X to offer a gracious concession statement:
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. https://t.co/4mjcGRjcUY

A wise political foe would leave well enough alone, but Somalia-born Omar took a different approach.
One-way ticket to where you came from with your name on it, Nancy. 👋🏽 https://t.co/BatJpJ352D

Omar notably turned off the replies to her graceless dig, but that didn’t stop Mace and others from clapping back:
Say what you want about me, but I would never marry my brother. https://t.co/0VZgRpWjSM

If there is anyone in D.C. who is more deserving of a one way ticket back to where they came from, it is Ilhan Omar. In fact, take her and every scamming low IQ Somali and send them all back home. We are done with their fraud and America hatred. https://t.co/EDD10RTyZY

Meanwhile, Mace seems to be taking the loss in stride with a dash of good humor and changed her X profile to read: “Christian. Citadel Grad. Fmr Waffle House Waitress. Member US House. Just got my ass kicked in Governors race.”
Some people expect me to be eating a pint of ice cream after my loss.
I have other plans. pic.twitter.com/w5LFOpVAVd
