"It is not criminal, I mean that is the truth, and I'm glad that he told the truth under oath today. As a mom, I wouldn't sit and have lunch with a convicted pedophile. I don't think that's something that I would personally do, but that's my personal choice."
"Um no, I wouldn't go that far. He hasn't I've not seen any evidence that he did anything wrong. You shouldn't just be fired because of who you had lunch with. But I do question people who weren't straightforward, who weren't honest right away with the American public, and what are we hiding?"
"I saw some names in there of people that I had no idea would be in the files, who were scheduling lunch or meetings with a convicted pedophile. Didn't do anything wrong, but certainly you question, Wow, why are all these people, rich and powerful and famous, Hollywood etc, doing this?' But again, my focus is strictly on the victims, getting justice for them. People who broke the law and did crimes, the congresswoman concluded. That's not Howard Lutnick. It's not Donald Trump either."
Rep. Nancy Mace publicly criticized U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick for having lunch with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Mace said the lunch is not criminal but said she would not personally dine with a convicted pedophile and appreciated Lutnick testifying under oath. Mace declined to call for Lutnick's resignation, saying she has seen no evidence he committed crimes, but she questioned people who were not initially forthright with the public. Mace named wealthy and famous individuals who appeared in Epstein-related files and emphasized focus on victims and securing justice for those who were harmed.
