Nice rant, and right back at you...Let's look at what YOU POSTED, and I objected to...
And let's note that I objected because you did not cite any links and acted as if we are just supposed to take your word for it on what you CLAIM people actually said. You do that CONSTANTLY- present your INTERPRETATION of facts, and then get angry when someone challenges your INTERPRETATION and asks you to link to what someone actually SAID...
Where's the lie? She was in the "complex;" no rioters even came down her hall.
A Rep two offices down said they got the threat so she walked out and left. No story for her. But AOC, well, not surprising....
Here is Nancy Mace's account that she provided to The State newspaper in SC, in an interview she gave them on Jan 7, 2021...
"Republican Nancy Mace did not hesitate Thursday when asked if she still believed in President Donald Trump, the man she helped elect in 2016.
“No, I don’t,” the South Carolina Congresswoman said in an interview with The State newspaper. “I can’t condone the rhetoric from yesterday, where people died and all the violence. These were not protests. This was anarchy.”
It was a stunning departure for Mace, a
freshman member of Congress whose
own political rise is tied to Trump’s presidency."
Compare THIS with mcmutry's OPINION of events, including his description of Mace's actions...
Where's the lie? She was in the "complex;" no rioters even came down her hall. A Rep two offices down said they got the threat so she walked out and left. No story for her. But AOC, well, not surprising....
And then you doubled down...
The Cannon Building, where AOC was, is .6 miles away from the Capitol Building. It's connected by underground hallways but a considerable distance away. No rioters were anywhere near her. The Rep two offices down in the Cannon Building got notice and walked out. Hasn't said a peep since other than to call AOC out. Hell I was closer to riots this summer with my ten year old than AOC was on January 6.
Now what facts do I have incorrect? And to those who had the temerity to say the media isn't biased give me a Fing break. CNN headline today "AOC Nailed It!" AOC found an opportunity to inject herself in the January 6 debacle and play the victim. Her office address is the Cannon Building. She was nowhere near the rioters. She's truly a world-class panderer....
This is what you POSTED and apparently expected us to take at face value
"The Rep two offices down in the Cannon Building got notice and walked out. Hasn't said a peep since other than to call AOC out."
Now I assume it wasn't intentional on your part, but that is undeniably a LIE (actually TWO lies) that you posted and expected to be taken at face value.Mace did NOT "walk out",and she definitely spoke up well BEFORE AOC...
"Mace said she barricaded herself inside her D.C. office during the attack. Fearing that Trump supporters she had seen staying at her hotel might target her after she voted to certify the electoral votes, Mace said she decided to sleep in her office that night.
She said her children keep texting her asking if the protesters are gone."
Doesn't sound to me like she calmly "walked out and left" like You CLAIMED. And it also sounds like she was not only terrified of possible intruders, but even was afraid to go back to her HOTEL. Because she had voted for certifying the votes and she feared retribution from Trumpers...
So how accurate is this CLAIM you made?
"No story for her. But AOC, well, not surprising...."
Seems to me Mace made a bigger issue of the violence aspect a week or so BEFORE AOC even made her comments that you blatantly attacked her for. The question is why is Mace (apparently) changing her story and attacking AOC for expressing the same sort of fear that Mace herself expressed weeks earlier?
Maybe she's looking to score political points with the Fox crowd,and is every bit the political animal that you want to maintain AOC is?
The rest of the article calls in to question your characterization of Mace as someone who is not political.
"Mace’s distancing from Trump is sure to make waves in South Carolina, a state that voted for Trump in both 2016 and 2020. In her own 1st Congressional District, Mace estimates Trump got 5 percentage points more than she did.
Political watchers in South Carolina, an early voting state known for its historic influence on Republican presidential politics, say Mace’s decision could raise her profile quickly in Washington.
Scott Huffmon, a Winthrop University political scientist and leader of the Winthrop Poll, said Mace is making a savvy political bet while also recognizing the changing political forces in her coastal district, which in 2018 elected a Democrat to Congress for the first time in decades.
“She basically comes across as the professional surfer who kicks out of the wave right before it crashes. She rode the Trump wave to her own success and supported him. She kicked out of that wave right when it came time to put in the challenge to the results,” Huffmon said.
Huffmon continued, “In the 1st District, which is
becoming more purple than it has been, she’s basically set herself up to be somebody who was faithful in a way that Republicans demanded she be to get the nomination, but also is somebody who can now say, ‘When I saw what was going on and what Trump did, I stepped away.’”
Mace was the only Republican House member of South Carolina’s Washington delegation who voted to certify the electoral votes early Thursday morning."
"Charleston County Republican Party Chairman Maurice Washington is less sure.
He watched Mace’s congressional campaign, taking mental notes when she weaved back and forth between touting her ties to Trump and dodging him. In the final weeks of her campaign, he noticed the photo of her standing next to Trump had begun to appear on her campaign materials again.
“She didn’t talk up Trump as a lot of the other primary candidates were. I kind of sensed early on that her loyalty probably would lie primarily with her constituents and less with Trump. So I’m not at all surprised,” he said. “But do I believe the Trump effect had an impact on her winning? I do believe that.”
Gerri McDaniel, a GOP leader in Myrtle Beach who worked as Trump’s state field director in 2016, also said Trump was responsible for other wins for Republicans in the Palmetto State.
Republicans who distance themselves from Trump, she warned, do so at their own peril.
“Without Mr. Trump, President Trump, there’s many people who would not have gotten elected in this state, one being the governor,” McDaniel said, citing Gov. Henry McMaster, who was the first statewide elected official in the nation to endorse Trump when he was a presidential primary candidate.
McDaniel also said she understands why Mace is distancing herself from Trump: She’s new in Congress and she’s trying to find her footing. Still, McDaniel said she has heard from many of Mace’s constituents who say they are disappointed.
“It seems to be that there are certain people that there’s no loyalty, but many people get surprised. As the saying goes: Elephants don’t forget,” she said."
