Nancy Mace has pulled a lot of stunts, and I’ve been here to make fun of her, but what happened on Tuesday was very different.
Back in February Mace took to the House floor under the cover of the Speech and Debate Clause to accuse her ex-fiance and 3 other men of drugging, raping, and filming her without her consent. And on Tuesday she took to the House floor with more accusations:
Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) shared a photo of what she described as a “naked silhouette” of herself that she said was taken without her consent while renewing allegations of sexual abuse against multiple men, including her ex-fiance, during a House subcommittee hearing Tuesday.
The four men Mace has accused of crimes have repeatedly denied wrongdoing. The South Carolina Republican framed her testimony as part of a broader effort to advocate for stronger legal protections for victims of nonconsensual recording and sexual misconduct.
The remarkable moment from a sitting member of Congress came during a hearing for the House Cybersecurity, Information Technology, and Government Innovation Subcommittee, which Mace chairs, titled “Breach of Trust: Surveillance in Private Spaces.”
How is this stuff allowed to go on in the House?
Along with the photo of herself, Mace presented a series of censored images of women, which she claimed were pulled from recordings belonging to her ex-fiance and Charleston tech entrepreneur Patrick Bryant — who has denied Mace’s allegations. Mace also said the photos of the unidentified women were taken without their consent.
Note how in this clip Nancy Mace claims she received permission from a dead woman to show nude photos of her
Mace has pulled a bunch of stunts over the years, and she was she was sued earlier this year over the statements she made on the House floor and it looks like she will be again. Someone in her life needs to intervene and get her out of Congress because it looks like she can’t make rational decisions anymore.
I’ll leave you with this:
At least George Santos’s stunts had a bit of humor to them.
Elect clowns, get a circus.
