Proud transphobeRep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) is reportedly having trouble securing support from her own party as she runs for governor of South Carolina. A new report from the Wall Street Journal details how Mace, who hasgotten a lot of attentionthis past year forher increasingly erratic behavior, has become alienated from the South Carolina GOP. Related Gargantuanly pathetic: Trump skewered for White House plaques praising himself & mocking Dems The Journal spoke with more than two dozen GOP political operatives, donors, and leaders in the state as they gathered for a Clemson-South Carolina football game and not a single one said they supported Mace. What she didnt understand is the fundamental reality that politics is the art of relationships. She has no political relationships whatsoever in South Carolina, said former Mace campaign consultant Austin McCubbin. Why are you running for governor and telling people you have no friends?

Her soliloquy started out as a fairly standard pitch from a politician, claiming not to be part of an elite even though, like all federal elected officials, she is. Im not part of the powerful, Im not part of the elite, Im an island of one, she said.She kept on going, and her speech got sadder and sadder. I dont get invited to parties, she told host Rob Finnerty. I dont have any friends. I have a dog.

Eric McQuade, who attended the Citadel with Mace, described his impression of her time there as lonely. The first time I ever saw Nancy Mace, and she was climbing the rock wall, and there were people screaming at her: Fall b**h. Die b**h, he said.The Journal did quote one GOPer Charlestons Carolina Republican Coalition leader, Mara Brockbank who said she liked Mace but isnt endorsing anyone in the gubernatorial race. Shes a powerhouse, Brockbank said of Mace. Theres no midway with Nancy I think shes feisty. Despite positioning herself as a warrior for women, Mace has devoted her time in Congress to waging a vicious campaign against trans women.She has used transphobia to make herself a household name, elevating her profile with increasingly outrageous anti-trans outbursts. She has, in many ways, become the public face of the Republicans crusade to eradicate trans people from all aspects of civic life. She haslobbed transphobic slursat a student;shouted slursduring a speech anda House committee meeting;publicly bullieda trans influencer;was booed whendiscussing a trans activists genitalsat a public talk;targeted two universitiesin her state for offering more than two gender options on certain student forms; referred to Rep. Sarah McBride (D-DE)as itanda manin a TV news appearance; and called trans people mentally ill (even though trans identity isnt considered a mental illness by any major medical or psychological association).Mace also persuaded Johnson tointroduce a rule banning all trans people from using Capitol restroomsthat match their gender identity. She alsovoted against reauthorizing the Violence Against Women Actbecause it would give some protections to trans inmates.Mace has alsowritten hundreds of posts on social media attacking trans people, some of which include slurs. Numerous members of Congress havecriticized Maces vile and disgusting rhetoric. Most recently, she has become embroiled in controversy over her alleged behavior at the Charleston International Airport. South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson (R) called Mace a spoiled brat after she accused him of a political hit job against her in allegedly orchestrating the incidents aftermath.Mace who is running against Wilson in the South Carolina governors race is claimingpolice falsified a report which said she turned a minor miscommunication at the Charleston International Airport into a swear-filled spectacle that left airport employees visibly upset.She claimed Wilson is behind the supposed fake report, which Wilson called a categorical lie during an interview on CNN. Its also delusional and crazy for her to make these kinds of crazy accusations, he said. He emphasized that half a dozen people reported on Maces behavior. Theyre all sayingthe same thing. Is everyonelying and she telling the truth?And its not just this oneincident. Apparently, theres ahandful of incidents over thelast year where she is cussingout TSA, cussing out security, he said.This is something that goes backnot just this past month, butfor the last year, he emphasized. At the end ofthe day, shes saying thingsthat are delusional. Thisbasically reminds me of aspoiled brat, an entitled,spoiled brat.Subscribe to theLGBTQ Nation newsletterand be the first to know about the latest headlines shaping LGBTQ+ communities worldwide.
