Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) left early from a House Oversight and Government Reform Committee meeting with victims of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein on Tuesday, appearing visibly upset when she emerged from the committee room.
Mace wiped tears from her face and averted reporters eyes as she walked past them, signaling she would not be taking questions.
Mace, whos spoken publicly about her experience as a sexual assault survivor, addressed her early departure in a post on social media shortly thereafter, saying she had a full blown panic attack when listening to victims recount their experiences.
Since its already being reported Yes I left the Oversight briefing with Epstein victims early, Mace wrote on the social platform X.
As a recent survivor (not 2 years in), I had a very difficult time listening to their stories, she continued. Full blown panic attack. Sweating. Hyperventilating. Shaking. I cant breathe.
I feel the immense pain of how hard all victims are fighting for themselves because we know absolutely no one will fight for us. GOD BLESS ALL SURVIVORS, she added.
She'll fall back in line with the cult at the drop of a hat
"I feel the immense pain of how hard all victims are fighting for themselves because we know absolutely no one will fight for us."Including you, you fucking ghoul.
This is the person who uses the slur for transgender people in official sessions btwAnd charged a youth advocate with assault after he shook her hand
Im fully expecting this rare moment of humanity from this monster to disappear like a day from now and for it to go back to being a bigoted sex pest defender.
I have a hard time believing she didn't calculate this to give herself the most attention.probably. there's a good chance she'll spin this whole thing into a story about how she didn't let her experience affect her core beliefs or something.
She's legitimately traumatized from her own violent experiences, she always makes things about her , and she signed the discharge petition. What a complex but still vile person.
Everything's always about her. She's a vile person
Rare moment of humanity from a generally vile woman, or panic over the implications this could have for her cult leader?
Neither. She's just putting on a performance and looking for an excuse to not be at the hearings that she didn't want to be at in the first place.

She was once pro-trans and even cosponsored a pro-trans bill and now is one of the most transphobic politicians out there. She will try to reinvent herself again if given the chance.
i dont like Nancy Mace at all. But I cant assume her reaction is false or for publicity. My heart breaks for her and all victims of sexual assault, and I cannot imagine what coping with that horrible crime is like..
But, she allies herself with a party that tries to subjugate women every day. She wont stop pushing for Trump and his agenda, even though his offenses against women are well documented. And she keeps trying to take away rights from vulnerable people without any of the empathy she wants for herself.
If yesterday was a show as some have suggested, she should be deeply ashamed. If it wasnt, you would hope her experiences would drive her to stand up for vulnerable people rather than being a tool for a man like Trump, and using victims as a stepping stone to get her own power. Because so far that is what her political career had been.
I hate that she's so fake, and such a liar and manipulator that even reading anything about the allegations against her ex-fiance make me question it.
I've been around narcissistic people like her. They do shit like this to "lay tracks" ahead of time so they have a readily-available excuse in the future to behave a certain way.
She might use this "episode" when it comes time for her to vote against her fellow GOP as a reason why she simply cannot participate.
I really hate that some people are buying this sociopath's crocodile tears like asherlee I've been around people like that before they absolutely are about manipulating the situation for attentionShe wasted no time to start defending him
Including you, you fucking ghoul.Called it.
She wasted no time to start defending himI wish I could laugh about calling this I can't.

I wish I could laugh about calling this I can't.
Because she is still likely to be the next governor of SC.
She'll fall back in line with the cult at the drop of a hatAre you a prophet?!
Yeah, they don't get the benefit of the doubt any more. It's performative fluff until she actually does something.See? Called it.
