Nancy Mace Sparks INTERNET OUTRAGE with Viral Social Media Stunt - Really American



Nancy Mace is at the heart of a Viral internet scandal after she posted an insane video montage of her wearing pajamas in a luxury rental van with her family on social media. It would have been fine, if she wasn't ON HER WAY BACK TO WASHINGTON D.C. to do her job and try to vote for Donald Trump's "big beautiful bill" that was stalled in the House. The internet absolutely lost their minds and called out the unprofessionalism and disrespect as well as how pathetic it was that she was wasting taxpayer money to play dress up and film it for internet clout.

4. 8 Hour drive?

Hell, here in Texas we have to drive 10 hours to get to the various borders of our state. We fill up our vehicle and don't stop until we get to the border. After 10 hours we have finely left Texas that was the hardest part of our drive. Our Son lives in the upper NE part of the United States and we drive thru countless states without stopping until we need fuel/food. 8 hours and 2 stops that's a stop around every 2 hours and 40 minutes. We drive to Dallas, which is 3 1/2 hours away, and back in a day. Her stunt should be embarrasing but if she had any shame she wouldn't have voted for the bill that hurts so many poor, chidren and elderly...

5. (Thirsty) Nancy Mace's Former Staff Claim She Had Them Create Burner Accounts to Promote Her

Nancy Mace, the South Carolina Republican congresswoman, often tells her staff that she’s a self-taught coder—just one aspect of how Mace presents her tech expertise, as befits her role in shaping the GOP’s policies on technology and work as chair of the House subcommittee on Cybersecurity, Information Technology, and Government Innovation.

“I would say [it was] at least a weekly comment, if not daily,” says one of several former Mace staffers who spoke with WIRED. Another found her high regard for her skills somewhat at odds with her demonstrated ability. (Like all the staffers WIRED spoke with, they requested anonymity because they fear reprisal from their former boss.)

A principal—and unusual—use to which Mace put her skills, according to former staffers, was setting up burner accounts on a variety of social media platforms to monitor what people were saying about her and bolster her image. They also claim she requested that staffers make their own burner accounts to defend her online.

“We had to make multiple accounts, burner accounts, and go and reply to comments, saying things that weren’t true—even Reddit forums,” a former staffer says. “We were congressional staff, and there were actual things we could be doing to help the constituents.”
