Political campaign ads come and go, and historically have said just about everything imaginable.

But, according to Washington Secrets columnist Paul Bedard, a new one this year on behalf of a House candidate in Georgia has House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in a "rage."

Technically, Bedard reported "Pelosi rages over gun-toting GOP House candidate."

The ad, Pelosi inferred, is a "threat" against other members of the House.

She took to social media to command: "Republican Leader @kevinomccarthy must immediately condemn this dangerous threat of violence against Democratic Congresswomen. -NP."

The commentary noted, "She hasn't even won her House race, but a Georgia candidate's prominent use of guns in her campaign, including a meme her holding an AR-15 beside images of the 'squad' of liberal House women over the headline 'Squad's Worst Nightmare,' has drawn the scorn of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi."

It is House candidate Marjorie Taylor Greene who posted the ad.

To Pelosi, Greene responded, "Actually Nancy, we need to remove you from Congress. Congressman Steve Scalise was shot by a left-wing terrorist, and the next day you blamed Republicans…"

And to the claim from Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., that the image of an "assault rifle" next to the images of her, and two others, was an "incitement," Green said, "Relax @IlhanMN, it's just a meme. What isn't a meme is BLM/ANTIFA violence, rioting, and destruction that occurred on Minneapolis streets. While your city was being burned and innocent people of color like David Dorn were killed, you called BLM/ANTIFA peaceful protesters."

Secrets reported, "The Twitter storm came as Greene was welcoming flak for hosting an AR-15 gun raffle, which Secrets reported on earlier today. She told us, 'I ran for office to expose, confront, and defeat the radical left. I scare them so much, they're trying to cancel me out even before I've been elected. But like President Trump, what they say about me is what they think about you. These Socialist radicals will never defeat this American woman. And I will continue fighting to Keep America Great."

The report explained she's likely to win her race since the 14th congressional district in Georgia is overwhelmingly Republican.
