"She's a joke": Nancy Mace's ex-aides spill the beans after entire staff bails in just 3 months

Source: Salon

Published February 5, 2024 11:27AM (EST)


The entirety of Rep. Nancy Mace's, R-S.C., Washington, D.C. staff has reportedly turned over since November 1, 2023, three sources close to the situation told The Daily Beast.

Former employees alleged a "toxic" workplace, with one former senior employee noting to the Daily Beast that Mace was "abusive" in her methods of using workplace software to excessively communicate with staffers. The source claimed that Mace's correspondence was "constant," adding that she would “micromanage the office all day and into the night and early morning.”

“If she needed us, we had to answer within eight minutes,” another former staffer alleged in describing how Mace had reportedly called employees late at night on Christmas Eve. “Nancy is delusional as a boss,” they continued. “She says nothing publicly without her consultants or senior staffers telling her to, but takes credit for everything. She’s a walking teleprompter.”

The ex-employee also told the Daily Beast that Mace "has no idea what it actually means to be a member of Congress and is too scared and self-conscious to deal with other people, so she accomplished nothing.” “All this is why pretty much every staffer and fellow member on the Hill thinks she’s a joke. Also a big reason why she’s only able to hire former George Santos staffers right now," the former staffer said.

That seat is what Clyburn needs to be focusing on.

Some of the staff have been fired, but apparently others are quitting due to Nancy Mace's bad management skills.

Remember we won this seat in 2018 when Trump intervened because Mark Sanford wouldn’t kiss the ring, and helped an insane candidate win their primary so we won the general election.
Clyburn’s district is packed with black voters ( seriously, he has part of downtown Charleston and downtown Columbia in his district), and Mace’s district is one of the two that aren’t double digit generic GOP.

With 7 seats, that should mean 2 1/3 seats with a black majority. Instead, we are 6-1 so, yes, the one thing Republicans excel at is racist gerrymandering.

The reason we have so many horrible elected representatives is because morons can vote.

I suspect at least half of the GOP is in it just for vanity. They have no intention of actually doing the job.

Not too many GOP office seekers/holders have any idea what 'public service' means. They are almost all Trumpian con artists.
