Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) torched Republicans and Democrats alike on Wednesday night during a rousing speech at the Washington Press Club's Congressional Dinner.
Journalists and lawmakers packed into the glamorous Waldorf Astoria hotel in Washington, DC, for the 77th annual event.
Mace, already known for her blunt and outspoken ways, brought down the house with roasts of her controversial colleagues as the featured Republican speaker - and sprinkled her speech with some light-hearted jabs as well.
She made several jokes about Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) related to a federal probe into whether he had committed sex acts with a minor, including claiming he was not at the dinner because he 'couldn't find a babysitter' - before quickly adding, 'to be his date.'
The congresswoman even went after House Speaker Kevin McCarthy over his 15-round vote to win the gavel last month, quipping that she hasn't 'seen someone assume that many positions to appease the crazy Republicans since Stormy Daniels.'
She then turned her attention to Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), who recently got kicked off the House Foreign Affairs Committee by the Republican majority in a House-wide vote.
'I tried looking for Ilhan Omar in the audience too tonight but it looks like she lost her seat,' Mace said.
Looking around at the crowd's mixed reaction, she added: 'I was sure I'd get booed on that one.'
Someone called Mace's attention to Omar's presence in the audience, to which she said: 'Oh there you are, baby!'

Ok, I’ll bite. Who is this irrelevant nobody and what has she supposedly ever done? Sounds just like another liz Cheney or mitt Romney.
Nancy Mace - Just another Assistant Democrat!
Her primary opponent wasn’t good.
Don’t quit your day job, Nancy.
‘We have the best cannabis of the world’: Rep. Nancy Mace pushes legal weed
Nancy Mace began using marijuana after she was raped in high school. “There was no light in my life,” Mace told Yahoo News of that time. “I dropped out of school, became a waitress at Waffle House.”
She’s a RINO who is seeking attention, which makes her dangerous to Republicans.
I have a feeling the media is going to start pushing her. Expect her to start appearing on late night talk shows.
South Carolina can do better.
Ain't it funny how RINOs keep winning because conservatives can't find a decent primary opponent? Kind of like it's rigged...
BTW...have you seen the last THREE primary opponents that were up against Manchin in WV? Absolutely hopeless!!
Meh. Mildly amusing but not really funny. I’m guessing RINO.?
I thought some of her shots were funny and took guts to deliver in front of that crowd - I especially liked her mocking Ilhan Omar - who most likely has no sense of humor.
Like I said, she’s angling to get on the Late Night Talk Show circuit.
Better keep on eye on her.
That dress! Whoah .... it looks like a Grammy awards get up.
“Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) torched Republicans and Democrats alike”
Well, it is a roast, so you are expected to roast roastees. No new ground was broken here. Just the fact that she was invited is suspect.
Very suspect.
That’s one RINO we need to get rid of.
The primary opponent was much better but charleston has become a hotbed for the lefties.
