Republican South Carolina Rep. Nancy Mace named several lawmakers Monday who she claims used a congressional “slush fund” to cover up alleged sex scandals. Mace said she uncovered 1,000 pages of documents detailing how certain lawmakers allegedly evaded consequences for sexual scandals, according to a Monday post on X. Mace originally subpoenaed the House Oversight Committee in March in light of a string of sexual scandals that resulted in two resignations from Congress.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (WACH) — Lieutenant Governor Pamela Evette stood firm on Wednesday when being asked about being disinvited from SC State University's commencement following days of student protests. Evette stood by her characterization of student protestors as a "woke mob" and said she would not be apologizing. "Let's just start calling things for what they are," she said.

A simmering feud between Reps. Cory Mills (R-Fla.) and Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) has roared back up to a boil, escalating to tit-for-tat threats of expulsion as each lawmaker publicly lobs attacks on the other’s character. Mace on Monday filed a resolution to expel Mills, citing allegations of dating violence and campaign finance laws — a move that comes amid renewed scrutiny of sexual misconduct by House members after Reps. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) and Tony Gonzales (R-Texas) resigned last week. “Cory, your days are numbered. Start packing,” Mace said in a statement announcing the expulsion resolution.But Mills is pointing the finger...

Rep. Kat Cammack (R-Fla.) suggested Wednesday that Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) should have less access to President Trump as the conflict with Iran persists. “I absolutely think he should have his Oval Office credentials revoked,” Cammack told Migrant Insider’s Pablo Manríquez as she departed the Capitol.

@MarkLynchSC Lindsey Graham has betrayed South Carolinians for over 30 years, and they know it. That’s why he was booed for seven minutes straight in Pickens. On June 9th, South Carolinians will replace this feckless, war-mongering traitor!

He said, ‘No, not in the context of Lebanon." With that, I...

@NancyMace Today I officially filed to run for Governor of South Carolina. South Carolina didn’t just shape me, it made me. And now it’s time to give it everything I got. My family has been here for hundreds of years. I grew up here. I raised my children here. And serving South Carolina has been the honor of my life. I’m working hard to earn every single vote, and I won’t stop until you tell me to.

@MarkLynchSC Lindsey Graham is vulnerable because he has put global priorities ahead of American ones. He has ignored Americans in favor of foreigners. He has fought for special interests instead of his constituents. That ends on June 9. I will represent South Carolinians, defend their values, and fight for America First policies in Washington.

Florida Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R) on Sunday said Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) was acting as if U.S. soldiers were “expendable cattle” following his comments about the possibility of losing servicemembers in battle. “I am deeply upset at the lack of respect for life Senator Lindsey Graham is displaying when talking about our troops. He is acting as if they are expendable cattle. This is unacceptable and dark. There were over 26,000 American casualties at Iwo Jima,” Luna wrote in a post on the social platform X, with a clip of Graham’s remarks on Fox News’s “Fox News Sunday.” During...

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) late Tuesday said President Trump has “no reason” to invade Tehran but urged the president to “take” Kharg Island to cripple the Iranian regime’s economy. “No, we’re not going to evade Iran,” Graham told Fox News’s Sean Hannity. “There’s no reason to, we’re going to destroy their ability to hurt us, have a nuclear weapon, build missiles to hit America and terrorize the region.” “Kharg Island — 90 percent of their income comes from oil and gas revenue,” he continued, adding that “100 percent of that revenue generating capabilities on a single island, Mr. President, take...

"The South Carolina GOP senator is using golf, good humor and frequent White House visits to try to influence foreign policy and keep Trump close as he faces a primary challenge.I’m his north star,” Graham told NBC News in an interview this week, a bold remark few in his party would dare make. “We disagree, but he knows where I am coming from. He sees me helping him as much as anybody in the Senate.” ADVERTISING Late last month, Graham temporarily blocked a $1.2 trillion deal to avert a government shutdown.
