Nancy Mace gets angry at reporter for interrupting her transphobic publicity wave with questions about Boeing layoffs in South Carolina

South Carolina Congresswoman Nancy Mace has been riding the anti-trans train over the last 24 hours, doubling down on her targeting of trans Congresswoman Sarah McBride while constantly retweeting her attacks or appearing on news programs to pat herself on the back.

However, earlier on Wednesday, she was asked a question about an issue actually involving her constituents - the recent announcement of Boeing layoffs in South Carolina Over 200 people are scheduled to lose their jobs next year. 

Mace chose to verbally attack the reporter for asking the question. And then took credit for bringing money and resources to South Carolina when in reality, the money and resources came from a bill she actually voted against.

During her tirade, Mace talks about the "tens of millions of dollars in resources" she supposedly brought to her district.. In truth, she voted against the bill which brought those resources to her district.

Charleston Congresswoman Nancy Mace called the nearly $26 million federal grant for the Shipwatch Square Transit and Workforce Center project with CARTA a win for the Lowcountry, touting it as “one of the largest grants for this kind of facility.” 

 However, it might not have been made possible had President Biden’s infrastructure bill not passed through congress. That was a bill that Representative Nancy Mace voted against. 

 “The optics of it? What do you want me to do? Turn my back on the Lowcountry when we can get funding for public transit? Absolutely not,” Rep. Mace said when questioned by reporters. 

 Democrat Jim Clyburn was the only South Carolinian House delegate to vote for the bill. He was not present for the conference but at a separate one in Orangeburg called his Republican peer, all but by name, out for trying to take credit. Secretary of Transportations Pete Buttigieg, who was with Clyburn, also weighed in. 

 “Welcome aboard! Look, this is good policy,” Buttigieg said. “We’re not going to hold it against the constituents of any member who was short-sighted to vote ‘no’.”
