An absolutely sprawling profile of absolutely deranged South Carolina Republican Congresswoman Nancy Mace in New York Magazine by exceptionally talented journeyman Jake Lahut is all shock, no surprise as it simply furthers the public’s understanding of her as a cruel and criminally insane megalomaniac who ordered taxpayer-paid staffers to go on 2 AM tequila runs and is constantly drunk and high on weed while on the job. Nothing game-changing there, nor with a former staffer telling LaHut that “after six months I was like, ‘Man, this is one of the worst people I’ve ever met. I’m going back to South Carolina’” or another saying “She would make staffers cry. She would threaten to fire them, take their money away, not give them raises, not to give them days off, religious days.”

It’s the specifics that really hit the mark, like how – in addition to her previously reported online astroturfing operation – she “very adamantly” forced a staffer to boost her rank on freaking Reddit threads about “hottest women in Congress” and upvote comments calling her attractive.

On the one good thing she did lately, Lahut writes that “for a two-day period in November the president was calling her to change her vote on the discharge petition for the Epstein files, which had divided the Republican Party between those who wanted more transparency about Epstein’s connections to powerful people and those who were sensitive to how these revelations were hurting the White House. Trump advisers conveyed to her that she could still advocate for victims through her role on the House Oversight Committee,” copied verbatim because it confuses “vote” with the discharge petition signature and thus is kind of confusing. The point that it was one bargaining chip she had to get Trump’s endorsement to salvage her otherwise all-but-certainly-doomed Palmetto State gubernatorial bid and Mace stuck to her principles in that one particular instance.
