Three days after she was sworn in to her first term in Congress, South Carolina Republican Nancy Mace was hiding in her office, swearing she was a never-Trumper, and sketching out a loony plan to confront the domestic terrorists invading the Capitol so she could get hit, thereby cementing her bona fides as a leader against Donald Trump.
Mace’s whacky idea, included in this gifted Washington Post story about how Congressional Republicans who once spoke out against Trump, his antics, and his violent rhetoric are now falling in line with the inevitability of his 2024 GOP re-nomination, fits perfectly with the story: Mace herself has already endorsed Trump’s 2024 bid.
