‘Murdaugh Murders’ Podcaster Slams Nancy Mace

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

The founder of the ‘Murdaugh Murders’ podcast is calling out her representative in the United States Congress after the politician was photographed next to a law enforcement leader linked to convicted killer Alex Murdaugh.

Late last week, Mandy Matney slammed first district South Carolina congresswoman Nancy Mace – who is running for governor of the Palmetto State – after she appeared in a photograph with Yemassee, S.C. police chief Greg Alexander. Regular readers of FITSNews will recall Alexander’s reputation as an alleged “fixer” for the powerful Murdaugh family in the years leading up to Alex Murdaugh’s spectacular implosion in 2021.

Just over a month after Murdaugh’s wife and son were brutally murdered – a crime for which he was convicted in March of 2023 – Murdaugh wrote Alexander a check for $5,000. This payment was first reported by FITSNews in March of 2022. Alexander told me at the time this money was intended as a loan for his parents and that he was just a “pass-through.” He declined to say whether the money had been repaid.

During that conversation, Alexander referred to Alex Murdaugh as a “longtime friend” who had helped his family in the past.

According to Matney, Mace’s proximity to Alexander is troubling.

“Some things never change,” Matney wrote in response to the photo, which was originally posted to social media by the Yemassee police department’s official account following a town hall meeting held with Mace last Thursday (May 29, 2025).

In a subsequent post, Matney included the hashtags “Corrupt AF” and “I Hate It Here” in reference to the photo.

Yemassee is a town of approximately 1,100 people located on the border of Beaufort and Hampton counties traversed by Interstate 95. Parts of the town also border Jasper County. Given the town’s access to Lowcountry rivers and the Interstate, it is believed by many to be a hotbed of illicit drug distribution activity.

According to a post from the town’s Facebook page, Mace’s town hall meeting made good on a recent promise she made to town leaders to visit Yemassee.

“The gathering proved to be highly informative, with residents engaging in thoughtful discussions and raising various questions about issues impacting our community,” Alexander’s agency noted in the post. “Congresswoman Mace graciously addressed every inquiry, and we are truly appreciative of her willingness to carve out time from her hectic schedule to connect with our town.”

Sources close to Mace told us she was asked to pose for pictures with law enforcement officers and other emergency responders during her Yemassee visit – and “accommodated all of those requests.”

Matney made it clear in a subsequent post she is no fan of Mace – and is intent on ensuring she is not victorious in her gubernatorial bid.

“Nancy Mace wants to be our next governor and for SO MANY REASONS I won’t let that happen,” she wrote.
