"The Four Horsewomen"

Senator Kennedy (R, LA), has called the Squad "The Four Horsewomen".

For those of you not versed in Christian eschatology: The Four Riders (their gender is ambiguous in Greek though it's generally translated as "horsemen" ) are literally the power of God's wrath on a society that has forgotten how to render charity to neighbors and to sojourning strangers.

I mean, so: yes: they may well be the Four Horsewomen.
