Rep. Nancy Mace scorches Washington in brutal roast: 'I love exercising 1st Amendment rights'

[Zorro]

In her speech before the Washington Press Club Foundation on Wednesday night, Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., launched into an uncommonly sharp comedic monologue that skewered just about everyone from gun-loving Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., to progressive Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn.

At one point, she turned toward Rep. Maxwell Frost, D-Fla., the first member of Gen Z elected to Congress. “He’s 25 years old,” she joked. “F*** you. I have stretch marks your age.”

Mace ended her routine with a risky joke about the violent Jan. 6 assault on the Capitol in 2021. “I know everyone thinks Republicans aren’t funny. But if you get a bunch of us together, we can be a real riot.”

Some laughed. Some gasped. So it went.

The following morning, she was praised by the New Republic for “genuinely solid quips,” although Axios suggested that her Republican-focused jokes “were so sick that it could put her in hot water” with GOP leaders, who have tended to be wary of her high profile and independence.

4. In a jab at McCarthy, she said:

“I haven’t seen someone assume that many positions to appease the crazy Republicans since Stormy Daniels."

“Let’s be honest: We all knew Matt Gaetz would never let the vote get to 18,” she said, adding that Mr. Gaetz would have been in attendance if only he could have found a babysitter — “to be his date.”
