To hear her tell it, U.S. congresswoman Nancy Mace “just wanted some face wash on my afternoon off.”
So she went to an Ulta beauty store in the South Carolina Lowcountry where she encountered, in her words, “some unhinged lunatic” – a man “wearing daisy dukes, at a makeup store” who was recording her on his cell phone as they spoke.
The encounter between Mace and the effeminate male was actually recorded by both parties – with Mace posting her version of the clip on social media, presumably in an effort to burnish her bona fides in the culture wars.
“Dems are nuts,” she wrote on X. “So I went off – and I won’t be backing down.”

Some unhinged lunatic, a man, wearing daisy dukes, at a makeup store, got in my face today. Dems are nuts. So I went off – and I won’t be backing down.

As evidenced by the clip, the encounter began with the man challenging Mace over her purported refusal to host town hall meetings in her district – something he seemed overly keen to pin her down on.
“I do them every year,” Mace told him.
“Every year?” the man responded. “Are you going to do any more this year?”
As the man sought to press Mace into scheduling a town hall for later this year, the conversation turned contentious.
“You want to keep going?” Mace asked the man. “Do you want to keep going – keep harassing me? You could have gone to a dozen town halls last year.”
“I asked if you’re doing any more this year – it was one simple question,” the man continued.
“You’re always invited,” Mace fired back. “And by the way, I voted for gay marriage twice.”

“What does that have to do with me?” the man responded, incredulously, accusing Mace of singling him out for his sexuality.
“I’m just saying,” Mace responded. “It has everything to do with you.”
Needless to say, the conversation – such as it was – deteriorated from that point.
“You people on the left are crazy,” Mace told the man. “You’re absolutely fucking crazy.”
“I’m absolutely fucking crazy?” he responded.
“You are,” Mace said. “And get out of my face. Goodbye.”
“You’re insane,” the man shot back.
“Fuck you,” Mace said.
“Fuck me?” he responded. “You’re going to be voted out so fast this year. You’re a disgrace to this state, that’s what you are.”

The man proceeded to call Mace a “nasty bitch” as the two exchanged parting “fuck you’s.”
While many on social media excoriated Mace for her profane response to the man – believing it to have been an overreaction based on his questions – she unsurprisingly doubled down on her handling of the exchange.
“I have a message for the Left, all lunatics and the establishment machine: I didn’t ask for this battle, but God trusted me to fight it,” she wrote. “Not just for myself, but for all those who don’t have a voice. Keep coming at me. I was built for the battle.”
“Good morning to everyone except men who wear daisy dukes,” Mace added in a post on Monday morning.
Mace is one of at least three frontrunners for the 2026 gubernatorial nomination in South Carolina, a campaign she’s made it clear she plans on entering in the very near future.

Was never gonna vote again for her, hence the “no impact” vote.
She is a DISGUSTING FOOL whom I detest. She is a total embarrassment to women and to the state of South Carolina. Some day perhaps we will get the truth about why she dropped out of high school – oh yes, I’d like to know more about how she recently broke her engagement to a man she lived with and
now accuses of being an abuser. I think she also protests too much against gays and transgender individuals.
What a stupid bi*ch. Always trying to make a name for herself. Mentally unstable woman. She is typical of what the republican party has become
She thinks that engaging in her trashy brand of politics is doing the Lord’s work?
Plot twist: Dude is not gay. Dude sues Nancy into the poor house with her not having the in-Congress defense, after producing multiple ex-girlfriends and wives to testify to his attentiveness to their needs in bed.
That dude was gay.
Nancy at this point is just an attention whore trying to act more crazy than MTG and Lauren Boobert.
Nancy, Nancy, Nancy – when you’re out of office, you won’t have anyone to blame but Nancy, Nancy, Nancy.
Not sure what happened? It would have been better to not use curse words. May not have been so brash
Get with Ralph Norman he is skilled at getting the point across looking more educated or poise, more stability when you get angry and curse, you give them the upper hand
You would have to possibly vote for her to do anything but vote no impact. I can’t think of any way I would vote for Nancy Mace for anything, She is a spineless coward.
What the hells this Trailer Trash up to now? Geez Bitch clean your act up or get out of the public eye and play in your trailer park with the other low lifes you run with. Just remember your a Little Whore and Daddy wont let you come home any more!
She was an embarrassment and classless.
The author of this piece calling the guy in the video ‘effeminate’ is so hypocritical considering the picture of the author posted here looks queerer than a three dollar bill.
Bless her heart. It’s easy to hold town halls when there’s a Biden or Obama in the White House. I wonder the Trump Party recommended that members not hold town halls. They’re absent in town halls. Those brave enough to appear at town halls have received loads of complaints. Democrats in other districts or other state’s are hosting town halls in their absence.
