Nancy Mace is officially trying out for Team MAGA.
The attention-seeking congresswoman is mired in her first messy scandal.
It’s a rite of passage!
Mace, who’s been trying to ingratiate herself with MAGA for months, is involved in an alleged breakup with entrepreneur fiancé Patrick Bryant, the DailyMail reports.
The couple is said to be fighting over two multimillion-dollar properties, including a $3.9 million beachfront estate with six bedrooms.
Mace reportedly found Bryant’s profile on a dating app while they were together, although he denied that allegation to the DailyMail.
Meanwhile, she has refused comment, other than to say: “I’m not Taylor Swift. No one gives a damn about my relationship status.”
Ah yes, Mace is just a simple legislator working for her constituents. The South Carolina lawmaker isn’t seeking the limelight at all!
She would never do something like, say, wear a “scarlet letter” through the halls of Congress.
BTW, does anybody want to tell Mace what the Scarlet Letter is actually about? Or was she actually trying to tell us she committed adultery in the 17th century when she did that?
This is what happens when you ban books.

The congresswoman is also dealing with a mass staff exodus.
Six staffers have exited over the last several months, the Daily Mail notes. Three sources told the publication that she often talked about her sex life in the office.
“She frequently made sexual references in the office and discussed things that were not appropriate in a work environment,” said a former senior staffer.
Other accused Mace of presiding over a “toxic work environment.”
The highest-profile departure was her chief of staff, Dan Hanlon.
Mace’s falling out with him was very public. When she voted to oust Kevin McCarthy as Speaker, she claimed he didn’t keep his promises to her.
Hanlon, however, texted McCarthy to say he had, in fact, kept his promises. The aggrieved ex-speaker later mentioned the texts in his vengeful farewell presser.
Mace and Hanlon’s relationship ended on such bad terms that the ex-chief of staff actually took the office popcorn machine with him on his way out the door.
Now that should be criminal!
“He did love that popcorn machine,” an ex-staffer told the Daily Beast. “To be clear, the popcorn machine did belong to him.”
Sounds like a fair trade. Hanlon can have his popcorn machine, and Mace can have her spotlight. She’s so focused on media coverage, every aid is reportedly expected to draft one tweet per day, regardless of their position.
But for someone so media-obsessed, she experiences some brutal misfires. Over the summer, she took the sex talk out of the office and into the National Prayer Breakfast.
Mace told the stunned audience she declined morning sex with her partner so she could be with them.
They were probably all so grateful 🙏🙏🙏.
Though Mace voted to certify the 2020 election–inviting a Trump-endorsed primary challenger–she’s since tried to cozy up to the quadruple indicted, twice-impeached, one-term ex-president.
Apparently, she’s been floating herself as a possible VP nominee.
There’s only one problem with that.
A source close to Trump told the Daily Beast he “absolutely hates” Mace.
Maybe a few more scandals will do the trick!

Couldn’t happen to a more deserving MAGAt. See you next Tuesday, Nancy

”We’ve made it one year… As her mom says “she can be hard to love”… But I do hard things ??”
I bet she does. And he’s as gay as a picnic basket.

Maybe she’ll get knocked up and get an abortion. Lucky for her she works in DC where it’s still legal.

Who is she, where is she from and does she know where she’s going to……

Gotta love the “family values” party

The people railing about GOP trolls seem to know more about Republican legislators than I do. Never heard of her. Of course, I don’t watch Fox News, though they’re always telling me, too, how I sound like Fox News. Interesting.

Regarding something that actually matters…
CBS News reports: American families must spend an extra $11,434 a year just to maintain the same standard of living they had in January 2021 when Donald Trump left office.
Joe Biden and his Bidenomics are crushing Americans. Thanks Joe!

Wah, wah, wah. Stop trying to deflect and distract. I know that’s all you right-wingers have got, but it’s annoying to people who can think for themselves.

And Trump has announced that when he wins he’ll be a dictator.

@COTTONTOP
So you think you can think for yourself? Good for you.
Tell me then, what do you think of Bidenomics and Americans having to spend $11,434 to maintain the same standard of living they had in January 2021? Have you received a raise to compensate for inflation and the implosion of our economy? Do you think it is good that more and more people are relying on food banks?

Except that the unemployment rate in January 2021 was 6.3% when Don the Con left office, which of course you left out. The unemployment rate now is 3.7%, with wage growth averaging above 4% since 2021, and now outpacing the rate inflation by several percentage points.
In October 2023, US wages grew by 5.2% while inflation fell to 3.2%. The inflation rate has fallen precipitously since June 2022, when it was 9.6%, and wage growth was at 6.7%, to the current inverted parallel today.
Moreover, there are still 9.6 MILLION open jobs as of November 2023, a distinct comparison from the Don the Con years, when the economy imploded in 2020-2021, and the US saw a massive net loss of jobs, along with social and political chaos, culminating in Don the Con’s attempted, failed coup. Thanks but no thanks, Baronin!

I didn’t leave nothing out.
You are the most disingenuous poster. To count “unemployment” or jobs created when there is a global pandemic is about as low and transparent as one can get. Joe Biden didn’t create jackshit, those are jobs that people naturally went back to when COVID restrictions were lessened. Could you be ANY less honest! Pathetic.

In the beginning they were really trying to sell her as some sort of reasonable MAGA but she’s pretty much just like all the rest.
