It’s not every day that Republican legislators feud on social media, let alone accuse one another of sympathizing with terrorists. But that’s exactly what happened on Thursday afternoon, during a Twitter feud about foreign policy between the libertarian-leaning Rand Paul and the hawkish Liz Cheney.

It all started when Paul, a Kentucky senator, shared a Washington Examiner op-ed that was critical of Cheney’s stance on Afghanistan. He called her a “neocon” who advocates for “endless wars.” Cheney, a Wyoming congresswoman and daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, blasted Paul in response, which prompted Paul strategist Doug Stafford to get involved.
