Man Who Nancy Mace Accused Of 'Harassing' Her In Ulta Store Speaks Out

South Carolina MAGA Republican Representative Nancy Mace—whose entire brand seems to be attacking people and then crying victim—is being exposed once again for embellishing reality to further her anti-LGBTQ+ agenda.

On April 19, Mace posted a video of her yelling obscenities at a constituent on her social media and later pinning it to the top of her feed. But like many who live in red districts, the man just wanted to know when Mace would hold a town hall to speak to voters.

You can see Mace's video of her own unhinged behavior here:

Apparently being asked to meet with or speak to the people she represents is extremely triggering for MAGA Mace.

Earlier in the month, Mace posted a series of videos berating her constituents for wanting her to stop ignoring them.

But Mace is too busy picking fights with colleagues, policing bathrooms, and threatening trans people to talk to the people she represents.

The man in Mace's viral video is now speaking out after Mace made unsupported accusations against him. Mace claimed that she was a victim of his aggression—even though her own video showed otherwise.

Mace's video—viewed over 7 million times now—showed Ely Murray-Quick standing a respectful distance from Mace and never getting in her face as she claimed.

He had his own video to share:

Murray-Quick, a gay small-business owner, was running an errand to buy face wash when he saw his elected congressional representative in the skin care aisle and decided to ask about an expected constituent service.

Mace's reaction was captured on her own phone, but Murray-Quick was not intimidated by the homophobic, transphobic, MAGA member of Congress and her in-person and online shenanigans.

Speaking to The Advocate, Murray-Quick said:

"A fire was lit. Being a gay man in South Carolina, I’ve had my fair share of hurtful insults thrown my way. And I’ve given myself a thicker skin because of it."

"So a simple 'f*ck you' from Nancy Mace isn’t going to hurt me the way that she thinks it does."

Recalling the events of the day Mace filmed him, Murray-Quick added:

"I took the opportunity to ask her the question that a lot of her constituents wanted to know. I asked her when she was hosting a real [town hall]."

"I’m of the opinion that what she has recently hosted wasn’t real. She fielded several questions over dinner, over the phone, and didn’t give her constituents and the people in South Carolina an opportunity to ask real questions."

"She decided to tell me to f*ck myself."

"And I think it speaks a lot to her character that this is the type of language she decides to use to someone who is in the same space as her who asked her a simple question."

Dismissing Mace's gaslighting, Murray-Quick stated:

"She believes, 'Hey, I voted for gay marriage twice. You owe me everything'. Which couldn’t be anything further from the truth."

"There are bigger issues I want to vote on, and I want to see it resolved. Insurance, health care, the education system in South Carolina will consistently rank the lowest in the states, and she’s not addressing the reason."

Murray-Quick continued:

"I was appropriately six to eight, maybe even 10 feet away at all times. There was no physical confrontation. There was no aggression. She wasn’t locked in the aisle. She was free to leave and not answer my question if she had chosen to."

Mace has accused others of aggression or threatening her after she behaves badly.

But South Carolina business owner Murray-Quick countered he wasn’t unreasonable or aggressive:

"We don’t want a gated Beaufort Country Club meeting by invite only. We don’t want Turning Point USA ticket attendees. We want a real raw town hall. That’s what people are saying."

"I walked out of the store, and yeah, I felt a bit of adrenaline. It was one of those situations where a lot of people do want to ask the questions to their elected officials in person and they don’t get the opportunity or [they] pass up on the opportunity."

"And I said to myself, I’m not passing up on the opportunity."

Murray-Quick later shared:

"I don’t feel great about the future of South Carolina politics until she’s out of office."

Mace milked the brief encounter for online attention. In a follow-up video recorded on the way to a White nationalist organization Turning Point USA event, she played the victim while also claiming to be a "bada** b*tch."

Mace said of the harassment that never happened:

"It’s not the first time I’ve ever used language with people before, and it certainly won’t be the last."

"You don’t have the right to harass me. It’s not ever going to be OK. And if you want to get in my face, expect it right back, and I will record you and I’ll make you famous."

People online weren't buying Mace's MAGA martyrdom or her tough girl act—especially in the South Carolina subReddit.

Mace did have one defender in the South Carolina crowd.

A debate over an appropriate descriptor for Mace also occurred among the people of South Carolina.

But Murray-Quick left the Ulta with more than face wash, telling The Advocate:

"I think I’ve learned that I’m a lot more confrontational than I knew I was, in a positive way. I want to help make a difference in any way I can, and I see a bit more of myself now."

When The Advocate asked if he felt being a member of the LGBTQ+ community made a difference, he responded:

"Absolutely. I’m immensely proud of myself. I took an opportunity to ask a question that I believed a lot of people wanted to be asked. And she decided to have a meltdown over it."
