November 16, 2026 · Dispatch'If There Is No Evidence, There Would Be No Investigation': Nancy Mace on Brian Musgrave, vs. Scarlett Wilson's Quote Exonerating Him
The morning after she named him on the House floor, Rep. Nancy Mace answered Brian Musgrave's denial on X: 'So, Brian Musgrave, if there is no evidence, there would be no investigation.' His defamation suit was dismissed after the United States was substituted for her, in an order that offers no opinion on whether her allegations were true. Three days later she posted that she looked forward to the day his lawyer 'and his client will be forced to foot the bill for my attorney's fees.' In August 2026, Solicitor Scarlett Wilson wrote to SLED that its report on her allegations 'offers zero evidence that Mr. Musgrave committed any crime because zero evidence was presented to you.' He has never been charged.
November 15, 2026 · DispatchThe Post Reported Mace Warned Her Nephew Over Alan Wilson's Endorsement. Then She Endorsed Wilson
The Washington Post reported that on May 1, 2025, at a JD Vance event, Rep. Nancy Mace pointed a finger in the face of her nephew, Berkeley County Republican chairman John Mace McGrath, and told him, 'You f*cked up taking Alan's endorsement, and you're going to pay for that someday.' Mace did not respond to the Post. On June 9, 2026, after finishing fifth for governor, she endorsed Alan Wilson herself. Here is what the record shows about McGrath in that race.
November 9, 2026 · DispatchNancy Mace Returns for Her Last Weeks in Congress: A Hegseth Impeachment Vote, an Epstein Petition and a Seat Gone Blue
Congress returns Nov. 9 for a five-week lame-duck session, and Rep. Nancy Mace is back for her final weeks before she leaves the House on Jan. 3. Rep. Thomas Massie is expected to force a vote this week on impeaching Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. On Nov. 6 Mace posted: 'Pete Hegseth is not to blame for the Iran war.' Her seat goes to Democrat Nancy Lacore, the retired Navy vice admiral Hegseth fired last year. Mace is one of four Republicans on Massie's second Epstein files petition, which is two signatures short. Here is what is on her plate this week, what she has said about each item, and what the record shows.
November 7, 2026 · DispatchMace on Pronouns: 'We Will NOT Be Putting Pronouns in Our Bio or Email Signature'
On Nov. 6 at 12:30 p.m. ET, Rep. Nancy Mace posted on X: 'For the record: we will NOT be putting pronouns in our bio or email signature.' Replies pointed out that 'we' is a pronoun. The Larry the Cat account wrote 'Cat check: We is a pronoun.' A user named greg circled the 'US' in her bio and wrote that 'us' is a pronoun. The next morning Mace answered him: 'Not to be that girl, Greg, but US is a country. You can tell because it has a flag. Three of them, actually.' Here are the posts, with the capture details and the record.
November 6, 2026 · DispatchJohnny Palmadessa at Nancy Mace's Office: 'Hope You All Get Fired. Have a Good Retirement.'
Johnny Palmadessa, who posts political videos on Facebook, Instagram and TikTok, filmed himself at Rep. Nancy Mace's office and posted it on Nov. 5. To her staff he says: 'Thank you so much for Dr. Annie Andrews. We're so grateful. Hope you all get fired. Have a good day. Have a good retirement.' Dr. Annie Andrews, a Democrat, had just won South Carolina's U.S. Senate seat. Mace wrote the next morning that it was 'one small silver lining' that Andrews 'will be a one term senator.' Here is the video and its credit, the best of the 54 comments under it, and the record.
