Nancy Mace, Maceopedia: The Public Record
Latest Dispatches
August 10, 2026 · Dispatch'She was asked not to speak': Nancy Mace attends the renaming of the base in her own district, but never takes the podium
On Monday, August 10, 2026, Joint Base Charleston in North Charleston was ceremonially renamed Joint Base Lindsey Graham in honor of the late senator, who died July 11. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Gov. Henry McMaster, Sen. Darline Graham Nordone, and base commander Col. K. Michael Shirley II all spoke. Rep. Nancy Mace, whose SC-01 district includes the base and who has repeatedly claimed credit for its federal funding, attended the ceremony but had no speaking role and was not quoted by any outlet covering it. According to a current staff member, Mace was asked not to speak. She had skipped Graham's funeral on July 28, declined to run for his Senate seat, and endorsed Ralph Norman over Trump's pick, Graham's sister Darline, who spoke at the podium Mace did not.
August 9, 2026 · DispatchOn CNN, Mace says Muslims should 'go back to that country' as her 'trojan horse' furor spirals
What began as a single August 7, 2026 post from Rep. Nancy Mace's official account, calling every Muslim public officeholder a 'trojan horse,' spread over 72 hours into a national story. On August 9, Mace defended the claim live on CNN Newsroom, where anchor Omar Jimenez read her the First Amendment and Article VI's ban on religious tests for office. Across the segment Mace said she did not want to hear the Muslim call to prayer 'five times a day in an American city,' warned that 'our granddaughters' would be 'wearing burkas to school,' and told Jimenez that Muslims should 'go back to that country of origin.' She closed by saying she would 'ban all immigrants from those countries.' Minutes later she posted the clip herself with the line 'Islam has no place in Western society.' This dispatch reproduces the exchange verbatim as transcribed by five outlets, embeds Jimenez's own posted video, and catalogs the reaction across the political spectrum.
August 7, 2026 · DispatchMace calls every Muslim officeholder a 'trojan horse,' then declares: 'Total Islamaphobe here'
On August 7, 2026, Rep. Nancy Mace wrote that every Muslim holding public office in America is a 'trojan horse' and a threat to national security and the republic. The next day, the satire account The Babylon Bibi posted an altered image replacing Muslims with Jews and adding a fake headline saying Mace had been removed from office. MEAWW fact-checked the removal claim as false, but the satire exposed the point: the same attack became instantly recognizable as bigotry when the targeted religious minority was changed. As criticism mounted, Mace doubled down, quote-tweeting a critic and signing off 'Total Islamaphobe here' (her spelling).
August 5, 2026 · DispatchThe Congresswoman Has a Podcast Studio: Nancy Mace Is Auditioning for Life After Office, On Camera
A current member of Nancy Mace's staff tells Maceopedia the congresswoman is auditioning for a career in political media for after she leaves office, and that the escalating content is the strategy. Mace lost her primary for governor, is not running for re-election, and leaves Congress in January 2027. In her final months she has stood up a branded, studio-produced video operation on her personal account, a podcast set with a boom microphone and produced backdrops, posting to-camera monologues that rack up tens of thousands of views. This dispatch reports the staffer's account and lays the videos, in her own words and with view counts, alongside it.
August 5, 2026 · DispatchSubscribe to Nancy Mace: The Studio Videos Now End Like a YouTuber's, and the Public Record Won't Say Who Pays
On August 5, 2026, Rep. Nancy Mace posted another produced studio monologue to her personal @NancyMace account, a nearly four-minute reaction to Abdul El-Sayed's win in Michigan's Democratic Senate primary. The video ends the way a content creator's does: a branded card that reads SUBSCRIBE, Nancy Mace, over a glamour portrait. That end card is the clearest sign yet of what a current staffer already told Maceopedia the videos are, an audition for life after office. It also raises two fair questions a reader asked us: who produces this operation, and is any of it touching taxpayer money? We went to the public record for both. The short answers: no filing names a producer, and House rules bar official funds from exactly this kind of personal-brand content, which is why it lives on her personal feed and not her official one.
August 5, 2026 · Dispatch"Not Chopping Their Dicks Off" and 9 More: A Top 10 of Nancy Mace's Curse Words, In Her Own Words
A member of Congress is supposed to model a standard of public conduct. The House even writes it down: its own decorum rules say members should refrain from profanity and vulgarity, and its Code of Official Conduct demands they 'reflect creditably on the House.' Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) has spent years testing where that standard sits. This dispatch first explains why vulgarity from a public official is treated as a breach of the office, then catalogs, in her own verbatim words, ten times Mace used profanity or crude language in public, on the House floor, in committee hearings, on live television, in confrontations caught on camera, and on her own verified social media. A second section lists every other one we could find in the public record. Every quote is reproduced exactly and linked to its primary source. The top ten runs from number ten up to number one: the July 2026 post in which she summarized U.S. military healthcare policy as 'not chopping their dicks off.'

The about-faceMace endorses the man she called a ‘p*dophile protector’After finishing fifth, she conceded the governor’s race and backed Alan Wilson, the rival she had spent months branding a “p*dophile protector.” The label was Mace’s characterization of an opponent, which Wilson rejects.Read the article →Search Maceopedia
