Last October, when Kevin McCarthy was ousted as speaker of the house, one Republican of the eight who voted against him stood out as the odd bedfellow of the group: a junior representative from South Carolina named Nancy Mace.
The seven other Republicans, all men, were far-right rabble-rousers, loudmouths for whom grousing about the “establishment” rather than working with it was always the right political move. They were used to attracting and capitalizing on press attention. Yet in the days that followed McCarthy’s ouster, Mace outshone them all, showing up for work in a shirt with a red A on the front, a nod to the titular symbol in The Scarlet Letter.
Her staff, still picking up the pieces from Mace’s bombshell vote against McCarthy the previous week, was completely baffled.
“I thought it was just some fashion statement,” one staffer recalled. “I was like, OK, well, maybe this is an Abercrombie shirt or something.” Only after seeing Mace on camera at a meeting of House Republicans—swarmed by reporters—did the staffer put it together: The scarlet-letter outfit “was another attempt by her to be a part of the story.”
Or, as a second staffer remembered, it was an attempt to become the star of the story: “She wanted every single person to think—when they thought of the McCarthy ouster vote, not to think of the eight, but to think of Nancy Mace,” the staffer said.
In her own explanation for the scarlet letter that day, Mace lamented that she had been “demonized for my vote and for my voice” and would “do the right thing every single time, no matter the consequences.”

Tell It Right: It's from Politico, therefore she's probably good people.
Like politico has any credibility at all. Why do you posts the overly biased BS from politico?
You are wasting your time here.
News Flash !!! Congressperson shows signs of egotism! /s

Yeah, but she’s OUR egotist.
Perhaps read the article first.
I dunno. the article seems well-sourced with citations.
This is clearly a hit piece. Why post it and agree with them. They’ve lied to everyone for years and we still think they’re relevant?
The first two sources I see are unnamed.
You indeed "dunno".
“Mr. Speaker, the President of the United States, the U.S. House of Representatives has every right to impeach the President of the United States, but what we’re doing today, rushing this impeachment in an hour, or two-hour long debate on the floor of this chamber, bypassing the judiciary, poses great questions about the constitutionality of this process.
I believe we need to hold the President accountable. I hold him accountable for the events that transpired for the attack on our Capitol last Wednesday.”
You’re going to the mat for the woman who said this?
Cool!
You know she’s been pretty consistently never Trump, right?
"Rommel, you magnificent bastard, I read your book."
Sourced:
[MTG] wrote on Twitter Tuesday that Mace is never attacked by Democrats or moderate Republicans “because she is not conservative, she’s pro-abort.”
Mace (S.C.), who is a rape survivor, supports restrictions on abortion. Greene’s suggestion that her colleague was “pro-abort” appears to stem from how as a state representative, Mace championed exceptions to an abortion ban for victims of rape and incest.
This is what 🦇 💩 🤡 looks like. https://t.co/nIbqjiJaFH

On Tuesday, Mace replied to Greene with three emoji: bat, poop and clown, referencing a common insult.
“I dunno. the article seems well-sourced with citations.”
You mean citations like “one staffer”, “a second staffer”,
“a senior advisor”? Yeah, that’s well sourced. You know, most people who post stories from Politico, MSNBC, CNN, etc. do so to make fun of them or show how ridiculous they are, not as a legitimate source of information for conservatives. This is a straight up 100% hit piece on a conservative. It’s a shame you can’t see that.
According to Pollutico, the only good Republican is an Assistant Democrat Republican.
Who in the political universe..including media..doj..fbi..doctors don’t have big egos?
Oh...it’s because she is a ‘pub..and a women ‘pub at that?
Sort of like Jo Brandon is one of the biggest a-holes of the universe..and actually corruot ..and almost certainly a perv..but Trump does far less and he’s got a huge ego..?
“You know she’s been pretty consistently never Trump, right?”
This is how the hive mentality works:
Politico writes a scathing (and well-sourced) article on Mace, so Politico must be attacked.
