Rep. Nancy Mace had a controversial interaction with a reporter at a town hall in South Carolina after being questioned about her record regarding a state's grant for a road project. Initially, the conversation was civil and lighthearted, but it took a turn when facts about her voting record were challenged. Mace reacted defensively, labeling the journalist as confused and suggesting a need for women to reconsider their treatment of other women. The situation escalated, leading to criticisms about her response and the politics of victimhood.
Absolutely, I can that," Mace responded, with a glaring twinkle in her eye. Smiling big, she shot back at the reporter: "You're very confused-and you're a raging Democrat, a raging leftist with that kind of questioning."
As a woman, you might want to think about how you view other women and how you treat other women." Alexa, play Shania Twain.
In a post on Twitter, Mehdir Hasan summed up the entire exchange: "1) [Mace] lies about her record, 2) a reporter points out the lie, 3) she messes up her response, 4) then goes on a rant, and finally 5) plays the victim and plays a misogyny card."
A spokesperson from Mace's office told Jezebel that "Congresswoman Mace takes every question with no filter, and invites Americans from every political stripe to hear from her firsthand."
