Mace on Respect for Marriage Act: 'If gay couples want to be as happily or miserably married as straight couples, more power to them'
On July 19, 2022, Mace tweeted in support of the Respect for Marriage Act after voting yes as one of 47 House Republicans, making a self-deprecating joke about her own multiple marriages, a stance she publicly reversed in October 2025.
On July 19, 2022, after the House passed the Respect for Marriage Act, Mace tweeted:
"We just passed the Respect for Marriage Act out of the House. I'm a big fan of marriage, having done it a few times. And If gay couples want to be as happily or miserably married as straight couples, more power to them. Trust me on this."
Mace was one of 47 House Republicans to vote yes. The remark stands in sharp contrast to her October 2025 post, "Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve", in which she repudiated same-sex marriage.

At 4:20 a.m. the morning after the Republican midterm losses, Rep. Nancy Mace quoted Fox News host Mark Levin on X: 'STFU. No one wants to hear a word from you.

September 1, 2026 · DispatchMace's Halloween Post: 'I'm Going To Dress Up As A Liberal White Woman'
On the morning of September 1, 2026, Rep. Nancy Mace posted from her personal verified X account: 'For halloween this year, I'm going to dress up as a liberal white woman.' The line ran over a staged image of a figure draped head to toe in black, face fully covered, a gloved hand on a podcast microphone before the lit Capitol. It is not a one-off. It is the capstone of a documented month-long run of 'liberal white woman' material from Mace: a 'Get Maced' episode titled 'THE ENEMY WITHIN,' a Daily Wire op-ed under her byline calling liberal white women a 'national security threat,' and Facebook teasers. This dispatch shows the post and lays out the record; readers can judge it for themselves.

August 28, 2026 · Dispatch'I Really Want Her to Get the Death Penalty, and I'd Prefer It to Be Public': On Thursday Night's 'Get Maced,' Nancy Mace Turned the Lindsay Clancy Trial Into an On-Air Call for a Televised Execution, With the Jury Still Out
On her Thursday, August 27, 2026 'Get Maced' live stream, Nancy Mace devoted a segment she titled 'the face of evil' to the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, the Massachusetts mother whose jury had just begun deliberating. Mace told her viewers, 'I really want Lindsay Clancy to get the death penalty, and I'd prefer it to be public,' having acknowledged in the same breath that Massachusetts has no death penalty, where the maximum sentence is life without parole and no verdict had been reached. She also disclosed her own postpartum experience to draw a line against Clancy ('the only difference is I didn't murder my children'), mocked the defense attorney's closing ('I don't know any darn good moms who murder all three of their children'), and built the rest of the hour around a thesis about the gap between who people claim to be and who they are: Hillary Clinton in the Hamptons, Michigan Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed and his physician title, and a closing tribute to Dolly Parton. This is Maceopedia's review of the broadcast, every quote verbatim from her own stream.
