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.
If there is ever a time to “steal an election” or more clearly, refuse to certify it, it’s when a convicted felon is taking over and talking about being a dictator on day one.
I wonder if this was the plan, keep calling fraud so when you totally break the rules, your opponent has already doubled down on following the rules no matter what.
