Ex-aides dispute Rep. Nancy Mace's claims that staff 'sabotaged' her
Source: Washington Post
Former aides to Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) vehemently disputed her claims that they sabotaged her office by hacking her phone, mismanaging the office budget, spying on her children and trying to destroy electronic devices with water.
Mace alleged the staff misconduct in a story published Friday by DailyMail.com, which noted she fired or lost nine staffers from her Washington D.C. office over a three-month period.
Members of Congress rarely take aim at ex-aides so publicly and with such specific allegations. But the turmoil between Mace and former staffers has played out in public view over the past year as staff has cycled through her office.
Mace, who won election to Congress in 2020, initially positioned herself as a moderating force in the Republican Party on issues such as abortion and gun violence, attracting national fame and widespread media attention. But Maces shifting positions on debt ceiling legislation, abortion restrictions in a defense-spending bill, and former president Donald Trump alienated some of her former allies. Her detractors and opponents and some of her colleagues came to view her as an attention hog, uninterested in crafting policy and singularly focused on elevating herself on television and social media.

That there are those amongst us who spend so much energy alienating others. So many that dont know there is strength in humility and responsibility.

Wouldn't you love to know what it's like working in MTG's office? If I die, I hope I don't get sent there.
