Former Staffers Accuse Rep. Nancy Mace of Being an 'Opportunist' Focused on Media Attention Over Legislation

Former staffers anonymously criticized Rep. Nancy Mace as an opportunist seeking attention and celebrity status.

A 2021 memo reportedly called Mace a "thought leader" and pushed her team to book frequent national media appearances.

Mace drew scrutiny when she joined the revolt against Kevin McCarthy after previously criticizing the effort.

Ex-staffers said Mace prioritized media over legislation and used policy to get on TV.

Mace disputed the claims as revenge for her anti-establishment votes like opposing McCarthy.
