South Carolina Republican Rep. Nancy Mace posted a profanity-laced video on social media over the weekend, displaying a heated confrontation with a person who accused her of avoiding in-person city halls. The incident, which unfolded in a make-up retailer, shortly escalated right into a shouting match full of expletives, private jabs, and political accusations.
Within the clip, the person challenges Mace on her city corridor schedule, prompting her to movie the encounter and reply, “You would have gone to a dozen city halls final yr.” She added that she has already held one this yr and plans to “do lots extra,” saying, “you’re at all times invited.”
When the person continued urgent her, Mace snapped, “Do you need to maintain going? You need to maintain harassing me?” At one level, she introduced up her file on homosexual marriage, stating, “And by the way in which, I voted for homosexual marriage twice.” The person, who by no means talked about his sexuality, retorted, “There’s no different humane factor you’ll be able to speak about me than to say, ‘Oh, I help homosexual marriage.’”
The tense trade ended with each events shouting “F–ok you” at one another. As the person walked away, he known as Mace a “shame to the state,” whereas Mace fired again, “You couldn’t take me on, child. Keep the f–ok away from me.”
The video comes amid rising tensions between Republican lawmakers and liberal protesters at public occasions. Final month, Home GOP leaders inspired members to shift towards digital city halls, citing organised disruptions and security dangers. Mace herself just lately skipped a city corridor organised by the Lowcountry Accountability Alliance, citing threats to her and her group. “We’re staying away as a result of it’s not secure,” she posted on X.
Elected in 2020, Mace has since solidified her maintain on South Carolina’s 1st Congressional District after redistricting made the seat extra conservative. She gained reelection in 2024 by greater than 16 proportion factors.
Reflecting on the incident later, Mace quipped on X: “I simply wished some face wash on my afternoon off lol.”
