SC Rep Nancy Mace Cancels Moms For Liberty Rally After Almost No One Shows 

The self-described “proud transphobe” pivoted from the stage to a backroom when it became clear her event was a flop.

Last week, GO reported on South Carolina Representative Nancy Mace’s reintroduction of her introduction of the “Tr*ns Mice Act” (short for “The Transgender Research on Animals Now Stops and Money for Ideological Cruelty Eliminated Act”). We’re back to share that the self-described “Trump in high heels” fled a Myrtle Beach rally in her (figurative) Manolo Blahniks after discovering that only eight people were in the audience.

According to local reporting by My Horry News, “Mace and her team entered through a side door, walked past the stage where she had been set to speak, and went into a back room.” One of her press team members came out shortly after, spoke to the event organizer, and then told reporters that Mace would take questions from the media before meeting one-on-one with attendees. One hundred people had been expected.

Prior to showing up to a slew of empty chairs at the Forward Church in Horry County, a local ABC affiliate reported that Mace had spent the earlier day handing out constitutions at a grade school.

The 4pm scheduled flop appearance with Moms for Liberty came on the heels of a speaking engagement three days earlier at SC Congressman Russell Fry’s “Freedom Fry”, also in Horry County.

Mace has been ramping up her appearances, having announced her bid for South Carolina governor on August 4th, when she kicked off her campaign with a promise: “Let me be very clear: no state dollars to any K-12 school, college, or university that teaches there are more than two genders. I want kids coming home with As and Bs, not they/them.”

Known for her “Tranny, tranny, tranny, I don’t really care, you want penises in women’s bathrooms…” rant at a February House committee, she also wants us to know that really, she’s beholden to no one. At a recent speech at her alma mater The Citadel military college, she declared, “I wasn’t built to kiss the ring. I just wear one. I don’t answer to the establishment.”  

Despite those claims, she jumped at the chance to report her polling numbers to Trump. Mace claims to be leading the South Carolina GOP gubernatorial field among a handful of GOP contenders vying to win the primary. While ‘he who wears the ring’ hasn’t officially endorsed her, he did give her a nugget — he posted the figures on Truth Social. She was pinching herself to share “all this winning” on FaceBook.
