This is funny. The GOPe squishes like Scumbag McCarthy were all-in for Mace just 2 years ago, and frantically opposed her conservative primary opponent, Katie Arrington. Mace barely won without needing a runoff.
Arrington was also the GOP candidate in 2018 when she defeated corrupt incumbent stooge Mark Sanford. Sanford and the GOPe repeatedly backstabbed Arrington that year leading up to the general election, and as a result of that the Democrats (in a fluke) picked up the seat for 1 term before Mace won it in 2020.
Now here’s the funny part:
For nearly all of her career Mace has been a self-appointed posted child for GOPe “moderates” and she has often railed against the conservative wing of her own party.
But now SHE is suddenly the conservative — so far in 2024 she has been 100% reliably conservative on all key votes in the House. So NOW the establishment despises her, LOL.
She's now MAGA. Maybe it's politics. Or she's a recent convert to the movement.
Nancy Mace's key votes in 2024 -- 100% conservative, and nobody needs to bother trying to handwave that data by blurting out her so-called "Liberty Score", because that lazy, non-updated site has identified ONE key vote in Congress in the past 18 months. The linked data is the real thing.
Sundance at CTH flagged the GOPe undermining Arrington from way back.
Watching this is like watching the politics of a One Party State, there are obvious rivalries and divisions but it is unclear to outsiders what is really going on.
