In March, House Speaker Mike Johnson and other GOP leaders held a caucus meeting to instruct Republican members of Congress to cancel town halls and avoid their constituents for the foreseeable future. But South Carolina MAGA Republican Representative Nancy Mace decided to take things a bit further.
Mace posted three videos attacking her own constituents for sending her an invitation and repeatedly asking for a town hall.
You can see those videos here:
In the video, captioned:
"My message to the deranged town hall fakers – listen up:"
Mace said:
"Your BS calls are taking away from people who have real needs in our community. Not one person has any issue with a federal agency that we can assist them with."
"You don't have any issues that need to be resolved. You're just being nasty. You're being ugly. You're being hateful. Stop it."
Mace claimed she had 300 "completely evil" callers contacting her office.
The MAGA representative—who routinely targets, harasses, and cyber bullies trans people—continued:
"Stop being this way. Stop being violent with your words. Stop being ugly and hateful."
Without any corroborating evidence, Mace claimed she couldn't attend the town hall from the invitation sent via certified mail because it was organized by “left-wing extremists” and paid actors who were “threatening me, my employees, and my family.”
The Lowcountry Accountability Alliance town hall was held at the end of March—without Mace. The group had added security and the option for Mace to attend virtually if safety were really her concern.
In another of her attack videos, Mace said:
"Their only complaint is they hate Donald Trump and they want to see Elon Musk dead. Those are the types of people that want this town hall."
"They don’t have any needs with our office or any federal agency, they don’t need any help from a constituency standpoint.”
Constituent services, however, are not the point of a town hall. Town halls are intended to let voters voice their concerns to their elected officials and get answers when possible.
But Mace has no interest in her voters' concerns, as made evident when she said:
“They’re just full of it. They hate Donald Trump. They hate Elon Musk. Too bad."
"Because I love some Donald Trump. And I love some Elon Musk. All the way—MAGA baby."
People wondered why someone determined not to represent anyone's interests other than her own decided to be a Representative.

Lowcountry Accountability Alliance organizer Guang Ming Whitley said of Mace:
"I just think it's unfortunate that we live in a world where anyone who disagrees with you is going to be branded as deranged or extreme."
"I think she needs to see and feel the impacts that people are feeling from what's happening at the federal level."
