Future House colleagues Republican Georgia Representative-elect Marjorie Taylor Greene and Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar got into it on Twitter Friday after Republican Georgia Sen. Kelly Loeffler tweeted about Omar.
The back-and-forth began after Loeffler tweeted about her opponent in the Georgia Senate runoff race, Raphael Warnock.
“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.”

Loeffler was referring to comments Warnock made in 2011 during a sermon during which he reportedly said there is a conflict of interest between serving God and the military, and that one can’t do both, according to the Washington Free Beacon.
Omar defended Warnock in a tweet Wednesday, saying he was quoting the Bible. (RELATED: The Georgia Senate Race Is More Important Than The Election. But Where Does Trump Fit?)

“No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and dmoney.”
The lies and smears of the GOP have no boundaries, but this is a disgrace and shameful. https://t.co/1G6OhsL2B5

Omar responded to Loeffler’s Friday tweet, calling Loeffler a fear monger.
“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.”

Loeffler responded, calling Omar an “unabashed anti-Semite” and suggested she be expelled from Congress.
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

Omar then offered Loeffler “help writing [a] real clap back” in a follow up tweet.
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

Greene then jumped in the mix, telling Omar to “back down.”
“You married your brother, so you’re disqualified from running your mouth,” Greene added.
Back down @IlhanMN
You married your brother, so you’re disqualified from running your mouth. https://t.co/PUAVt1z5KL

Omar replied and called Greene “the crazy lady” and said that “things might be different where you come from” but that Greene has to “get off the looney train.”
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

Greene shot back at Omar, who is from Somalia.
“Don’t even get me started on where you come from. We don’t marry our brothers here in America, so I’m not sure who you’re calling crazy.”
Don’t even get me started on where you come from.
