Things have turned nasty between Alyssa Milano and Rose McGowan.

The former "Charmed" co-stars have been battling it out on social media since the weekend, when a political argument escalated into a personal attack between the two actresses.

The drama began at the close of the Democratic National Convention when McGowan took to Twitter to criticize the Democratic Party.

"What have the Democrats done to solve ANYTHING? Help the poor? No. Help black & brown people? No. Stop police brutality? No. Help single mothers? No. Help children? No. You have achieved nothing. NOTHING. Why did people vote Trump? Because of you motherf******," she wrote.

Milano responded to the tweet by compiling "a thread of all the things the Democratic Party has done to make the world a better place," and included mention of the 19th Amendment, which "under the leadership of Democratic President Woodrow Wilson, the U.S. Constitution was amended to grant women the right to vote."

McGowan hit back by pointing out that "only WHITE WOMEN got the right to vote." As things heated up, Milano fired off a tweet to "Rose and anyone bleating the same 'dEmOcRaTs DoNt HeLp PeOpLe' nonsense" whose lies she said "are going to hurt people less privileged than you."

That was when things turned personal. McGowan accused Milano of creating a "toxic" environment on the set of "Charmed." She further claimed the actress "threw a fit in front of the crew, yelling, 'They don’t pay me enough to do this s***!'"

In a follow-up tweet, McGowan wrote: "You stole  #metoo (a brilliant communication tool, not a movement) from Tarana. You co-opted my movement, the Cultural Reset, for fame, jealous of me for outing my rapist. You made 250k per week on Charmed. (Con't)"

In a responding tweet, Milano addressed McGowan, her followers and critics.

"Everyone saying horrible things—I see you. F*** off," Milano wrote. "Hurt people hurt people. Empowered people empower people. Loved people love people."
