"Mace, who announced her gubernatorial bid on August 4 with anti- LGBTQ+ rhetoric and declared herself a "proud transphobe," had advertised that more than 100 people would attend a Moms for Liberty event at Forward Church on Thursday. But at the scheduled start time, rows of empty chairs greeted her. Only eight attendees were present, not including reporters and security, according to My Horry News."
"The flop came just weeks after Mace launched her run on the parade ground of The Citadel, where she became the first woman to graduate from the military college's Corps of Cadets. At that event, she promised to "ban pronouns in the classroom" and cut off public funding to schools and colleges she accused of promoting "gender ideology," The Advocate reported. She also leaned into Trump-style messaging, pledging to punish prosecutors and sheriffs she deems too lenient and to defund colleges "that can't define what a woman is.""
Nancy Mace canceled a planned speech in Myrtle Beach after just eight people arrived at a Moms for Liberty event at Forward Church, despite advertising more than 100 attendees. Mace and her staff slipped into a back room while a press aide told reporters the speech was off; Mace later answered questions outside the sanctuary and met briefly with those present. Mace launched her gubernatorial run on August 4 with anti-LGBTQ rhetoric and called herself a "proud transphobe." She pledged to ban pronouns in classrooms, cut public funding to institutions she calls promotors of "gender ideology," and released polling showing 25 percent support.
