Nancy Mace, Big Disgrace, Ex-Staffers Pouring Tea All Over The Place

We told you she was crazy!

Pull up a log by the campfire, and let us toast marshmallows together with New York Magazine’s Jake Lahut over the dying embers of the political career of Rep. Nancy Mace, that South Carolina Low Country Babadook who rose to prominence with wild-eyed culture-warrioring hate, only to be undone by evidently being not just pretend crazy for TV, like Marjorie Taylor Greene, but real crazy, as in “Something’s broken. The motherboard’s fried. We’re short-circuiting somewhere,” ratted a staffer who’d recently jumped ship.

Once upon a time, back in August, Mace announced she was running for governor of South Carolina, and did not file to be on the ballot again for her House seat. Her campaign is not going well! She’s slipped to somewhere around third or fourth in GOP primary polls (SC Attorney General Alan Wilson is first), and though she has the strongest name recognition in polls, her unfavorability rating is more than twice as high as anyone else’s! YOWCH. To know her is to not like her, it seems.

And a Trump endorsement is not likely after she joined with Thomas Massie, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert and Epstein survivors to endorse releasing the Epstein Files.

Even Republicans on the House Ethics Committee find her ethics questionable; since June of last year she’s been the subject of an inquiry about her “lodging expenses and reimbursement practices” for charging taxpayers for costs associated with a $1.6 million DC townhouse while at the same time earning income renting out the same place on Airbnb.

She gave an address about how hot and bothered her (then) husband was and how she couldn't put out.

She has deep psychosexual issues. She and Lindsay Graham should just team up already.
