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.
She has laid the groundwork as a kind of MAGA-acceptable Super-TERF. She's a power-fantasy for all the evangelical stay at home moms, the Boss Bitch who will protect them from the bad people: yes rapists, but especially any trans women who make them feel uncomfortable.
She'll be given a leash exactly long enough to bite anyone who is less powerful than she is.
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.
