CNN Mocks GOP Rep. Nancy Mace’s Desperate Plea for Trump's Approval
CNN anchors took turns this week ridiculing Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) for shamelessly debasing herself in front of Trump Tower and pledging her undying loyalty to former President Donald Trump, calling her “thirsty” and noting “one only gives up one’s own dignity willingly.”
As a first-term congresswoman, Mace has run afoul of her MAGA colleagues and Trump himself over her criticism of the more extreme elements of her party. She drew the ire of the twice-impeached ex-president just days into her tenure, blaming him for the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection and saying he “put all of our lives at risk” by inciting the rioters with his false election rhetoric.
Mace, however, was not one of the handful of Republican House members who voted for Trump’s impeachment after the Capitol attack. And while she has occasionally pushed back against some of the far-right members of her party, she has also tried to thread the needle and appeal to Trumpism throughout her first term.
