Rep. Nancy Mace accuses four men of sexual misconduct in explosive House floor speech.
For nearly an hour on Monday night, Republican Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina gave an unprecedented speech on the House of Representatives floor accusing four men — including her ex-fiancé — of rape, sex trafficking and sexual misconduct against her and other women.
You're viewing a single thread.
Welp I'm sorry for her and hope she gets justice and closure.
Even though she is a hateful wretch.
Nobody deserves to be raped or abused.I agree that nobody does.
However, after she's screeched about trans people existing and how persecuted she is for her bigoted version of religion, forgive me if I want to see receipts in her case. Republicans are historically all about optics to push some personal agenda.
You can only cry wolf so many times before it just becomes noise.
The third-term lawmaker from South Carolina, who is considering a run for governor, also accused her would-be GOP rival of not investigating the allegations.
I know. I have decided to believe all victims, until proven otherwise, but I see how bad the optics are.
That's my general practice as well, but I feel compelled to make an exception in her case. She needs to earn back my trust (what little there was to begin with).
It really doesn’t help that she falsely accused someone of assault over a handshake like 3 months ago. Or that she spray painted her own property to claim she was being targeted by the dreaded antifa. To say that she has a history of history of attacking her opponents this way would be an understatement.
Yeah, she has fucking destroyed her own credibility. Maybe this shit happened, and she certainly didn't deserve that. But her say so isn't worth the paper it's printed on.
No one deserves it, but I have a hard time finding any sympathy for people who want to use legislation to hurt others.
Even if she wishes this and other harm on others?
Yes, even then.
You don't have morals if they're conditioned on the identity of the person they're being applied to. That just makes you a different flavor of bigot.
Nobody deserves to be sexually assaulted, even the people you don't like.
