| Nancy Mace |
This embarrassment couldn't have happened to a more deserving person. I can only hope that this is a sign of how things are going to be not only for Mace, but for other candidates scapegoating our community for power.
From The Huffington Post:
Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) canceled a speech in South Carolina on Thursday after just eight people showed up to an event that was billed to have 100-plus people in attendance, local news site MyHorryNews.com has reported. Mace — who is running for South Carolina governor — was expected to lead a “parental rights” rally in Myrtle Beach hosted by the Horry County chapter of the far-right, anti-trans Moms for Liberty group.But, as MyHorryNews put it, “plans seemingly changed” once she walked into a room of mostly empty chairs. The speech was scrapped, with a member of her team telling reporters that Mace would take questions from the media before she met individually with the attendees.. . .The speech cancellation arrives just weeks after Mace —who has used her time in the House, in part, to obsess over trans women using the women’s bathroom — kicked off what she called the “Mother of All Town Halls” tour in Myrtle Beach, an event that reportedly packed the Veterans Café and Grill. In her remarks, she claimed that she would “debate anyone” although those who arrived at the event with shirts “reflecting their opposition” to her were asked to leave before she started her speech, NBC News reported.
