“Nancy Mace has yet again decided to turn her back on MAGA to hug the political cactus that is the Rand Paul + Thomas Massie wing of the Party. I have notified her and her team that I am resigning because of this. My name has been used publicly, while going back on her word to pay me, to trade on my Team Trump status and to work on her behalf with the White House, and I am 100 percent breaking with her campaign out of loyalty to the President. The 2026 gubernatorial race has always been first and foremost a run for the President’s endorsement. South Carolina is Trump Country.”
“Earlier this year Nancy parted ways with her General Consultant, because he was openly criticizing the President’s Iran strike and siding with Thomas Massie. Last month the Rand Paul-affiliated Protect Freedom PAC began spending money on Nancy’s behalf. I had no prior knowledge of that, and campaigns can’t control outside spending. I chalked it up to nothing but independent activity.”
“When I talked to Nancy last Wednesday, it became clear she has embraced the Rand Paul PAC. She told me she is directing a personal friend to fund a 7-figure check to Rand’s PAC. She distanced herself, and now she’s fully embracing the Rand Paul + Thomas Massie wing for money. Nancy Mace is wittingly or unwittingly a proxy for Rand Paul’s 2028 presidential campaign. That’s the straw that broke the camel’s back,” writes GOP operative Austin McCubbin in a lengthy tweet that keeps going.
Noteworthy because it’s not about her being criminally insane but “disloyal” to Trump and that there’s some inside baseball pretext for that disloyalty rather than the actual disloyalty she displayed by providing one of really only two contested final signatures to the Epstein files discharge petition.
