Chelsea Clintons Twitter beef with Kellyanne Conway is on pause. At least for now.

The duo feuded in February after Clinton attacked President Donald Trumps adviser over her made-up comments on the Bowling Green Massacre that never happened.

But on Friday, Clinton offered an unexpected olive branch by tweeting her condemnation of the vile sexual joke that Rep. Cedric Richmond (D-La.) made at Wednesdays Washington Press Clubs annual congressional dinner about Conway looking kind of familiar there in that position when she was photographed earlier this week kneeling on the Oval Office couch .

Despicable. I hope @KellyannePolls receives the apology she deserves-certainly never thought I'd write that & I mean every word. https://t.co/NmvFwNL21d

Chelsea Clinton (@ChelseaClinton) March 3, 2017

Describing Richmonds comment as despicable, Clinton said she hoped Conway receives the apology she deserves.

Certainly never thought Id write that & I mean every word, added Clinton, as she appeared to highlight the surprising nature of her rapprochement with her political foe.

Conway responded in kind by thanking Clinton for speaking out on the issue:

Thank you, @ChelseaClinton . As strong women, as moms to Charlottes...appreciate you speaking out on this. https://t.co/rxBnXq553t

Kellyanne Conway (@KellyannePolls) March 3, 2017

Richmond released a statement in which he attempted to clarify his comments. Since some people have interpreted my joke to mean something that it didnt I think it is important to clarify what I meant, he said. Where I grew up, saying that someone is looking or acting familiar simply means that they are behaving too comfortably.

But Conway noted that Richmond did not apologize , and instead suggested that hed only tried to clarify.
