Summary
Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) faced backlash online after claiming, without evidence, that Democrats might attempt to “steal” the certification of Donald Trump as president.
Her remarks, posted on social media, drew criticism as overly dramatic and unnecessary, especially given the routine nature of the certification process, which proceeded without incident.
The comments came on the anniversary of the Jan. 6 Capitol attack, leading many to contrast the peaceful proceedings with past unrest.
Critics dismissed her rhetoric as attention-seeking and partisan posturing.
I frankly don’t know if we agree or not, and I’m not even sure you replied to what I was trying to communicate, but I wanted to acknowledge the effort you put into your reply and the ensuing comment chain. I’ll read it again later.
Thanks.
You might not get it the second time either, but that’s ok. It’s just some comments thought up on the fly, not a thesis that needs defending.
