After South Carolina Republican Congresswoman and third runner up in the homecoming queen election Nancy Mace told the Daily Mail that her staff was sabotaging and undermining her work in Congress, former aides are speaking out characterizing Mace as a train wreck with little grasp on the operations and authority of Congress, the Daily Beast reports.
Mace claimed her staff was snooping into her medical records, changing her schedule, forging her name on documents, and destroying equipment and documents to harm her reputation and work. Mace also claimed she fired members of her staff months ago after they accessed her calendar and the calendars of her family, a routine practice for aides trying to schedule meetings, political appearances, and other events for members of Congress.
“I’m not at all surprised she’s blaming others for her troubles,” another former staffer told The Daily Beast. “She has always found it impossible to take responsibility for her own mistakes or accept the consequences of her toxic behavior.”
Another former member of Mace’s staff said that like many in the MAGA wing of the Republican Party, self-promotion and ego were more important to Mace than legislating and governing. “If she could replace her entire staff with AI and solely send out mailers with her face on them, she would.”
