In case you’re unfamiliar with her, Republican Rep. Nancy Mace (SC-1) doesn’t exactly do subtle. In keeping with that theme, the South Carolina lawmaker dropped a pretty straightforward assessment of Muslim lawmakers in America and watched the left completely lose their collective minds.
Mace, in a post on X late Friday, suggested that all public officials who are practicing Muslims are a clear and present danger to the Republic.
“Every single Muslim holding public office in America is a Trojan horse, and a threat to both national security and our republic,” she wrote. “We refuse to be silent.”
The outrage machine kicked into overdrive almost immediately.
Critics pounced. Some raced to their keyboards to denounce Mace’s fiery remarks.
Democrat Rep. Pramila Jayapal (WA-7) was one of the more vocal opponents of the comments, calling them “disgusting” and “dangerous.”
“This is absolutely disgusting and dangerous. Republicans must denounce this blatant Islamophobia,” she responded. “To Muslim communities across America: I will always stand with you.”
Mace didn’t back down.
“She’s right. I don’t want to get stabbed or blown up by a suicide bomber – nor do I want to hear the call to prayer five times a day in the United States of America,” she fired back. “Total Islamophobe here.”
