Republican Nancy Mace did not hesitate Thursday when asked if she still believed in President Donald Trump, the man she helped elect in 2016.

“No, I don’t,” the South Carolina Congresswoman said in an interview with The State newspaper. “I can’t condone the rhetoric from yesterday, where people died and all the violence. These were not protests. This was anarchy.”

It was a stunning departure for Mace, a freshman member of Congress whose own political rise is tied to Trump’s presidency.

4. Hypocrites!!! anyone who believes these people are idiots

The ship is rapidly sinking and the rats want out...They knew this was happening, there was plenty of warning, so don't tell me "you never thought it would reach these levels"...Bull, most of us knew and if you are close to the action on a daily basis you have to know, and if you didn't, which I won't believe for a minute, then you are not doing your job and you should resign.

SOBs, all republican politicians.

7. WAY too late...

...at this point, that's a little like Himmler declaring that he no longer supports Der Fuhrer after the latter has already gone into his bunker and Allied troops are pounding on his front door.

12. This is what we need, civilized Republicans to the fore

Where has Main Street been? I grew up in a Republican town, no one worried about politics, you depended on local business for everything from insurance to a weekend job. They have a lot to lose from anarchy. Their communities depend on quality of life. Destroying the government and the environment is not a good investment in peace and prosperity. Why is the GOP ruled by thugs?

13. Nope. In 2016 Trump on the campaign trail was inciting violence.

Rep. Nancy Mace was OK with it then. Rep. Nancy Mace is a liar.

14. She can't condone the rhetoric from yesterday but every other day it's just fine. nt

15. Nancy Mace, Woman Of Valor. (snort)

Ms. Mace shows she has every bit and much bravery and principle as Betsy DeVos.
