For nearly an hour on Monday night, Republican Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina gave an unprecedented speech on the House of Representatives floor accusing four men — including her ex-fiancé — of rape, sex trafficking and sexual misconduct against her and other women.

    Why would Republicans care about this lady after they already elected a rapist who will “grab ‘em by the pussy”?

      They’d probably kick her out of the party if they had a bigger majority in the House.

      Wonder if she’ll come to her senses.

        She has laid the groundwork as a kind of MAGA-acceptable Super-TERF. She’s a power-fantasy for all the evangelical stay at home moms, the Boss Bitch who will protect them from the bad people: yes rapists, but especially any trans women who make them feel uncomfortable.

        She’ll be given a leash exactly long enough to bite anyone who is less powerful than she is.

    She does realize she’s in the Republican party, right?

    Welp I’m sorry for her and hope she gets justice and closure.
    Even though she is a hateful wretch.
    Nobody deserves to be raped or abused.

      I agree that nobody does.

      However, after she’s screeched about trans people existing and how persecuted she is for her bigoted version of religion, forgive me if I want to see receipts in her case. Republicans are historically all about optics to push some personal agenda.

      You can only cry wolf so many times before it just becomes noise.

        The third-term lawmaker from South Carolina, who is considering a run for governor, also accused her would-be GOP rival of not investigating the allegations.

          I know. I have decided to believe all victims, until proven otherwise, but I see how bad the optics are.

            That’s my general practice as well, but I feel compelled to make an exception in her case. She needs to earn back my trust (what little there was to begin with).

              It really doesn’t help that she falsely accused someone of assault over a handshake like 3 months ago. Or that she spray painted her own property to claim she was being targeted by the dreaded antifa. To say that she has a history of history of attacking her opponents this way would be an understatement.

      No one deserves it, but I have a hard time finding any sympathy for people who want to use legislation to hurt others.
