South Carolina Rep. Nancy Mace, who beat out a Trump-picked primary challenger and won a competitive district, gives “zero f--ks” about what her colleagues think of her.
As for any allies, “If you find them, please let me know,” she tells me. “It’s been a very lonely start to the year. I represent a district of islands, but I literally feel up here on the Hill that I am living on an island alone. And it is very lonely.” Mace says she wants to “rein in some of the craziness that is happening” because Republicans are “losing people from our party.
Only once does Mace’s mask seem to crack: when she discusses her sexual assault as a 16-year-old. Mace was raped—an experience that led to her dropping out of high school. “I made a lot of bad decisions in the wake of that trauma in my life and I’ve had to figure some shit out over the years and it still haunts me to this day,” she says in her office. I see tears welling in her eyes.
“There are 535 members of Congress that vote in both chambers. There are a lot of dumbasses up here. People are going to say stupid shit,” she says. “Everyone has the right to say what they want but there should be consequences.”
