President Trump backed Never Trump RINO Rep. Nancy Mace in the past. But he won’t do it again and is backing a different candidate. Now she’s upset because President Trump backed her opponent.
President Donald Trump on Wednesday gave his endorsement to the latest republican to join the race for South Carolina’s first congressional district, Katie Arrington, while taking aim at republican incumbent Nancy Mace.
“Katie Arrington is running against an absolutely terrible candidate,” Trump said, calling Mace’s “remarks and attitude…devastating for her community, and not at all representative of the Republican Party to which she has been very disloyal.”
Once endorsed by Trump herself, the relationship between Mace and Trump soured following her condemnation of the January 6, 2021 Capitol Riot.
Rep. Mace doesn’t understand that nobody likes a traitor. It’s that clear and simple. Here is Mace complaining about the fact that President Trump isn’t backing her despite her terrible record.
After Trump endorsed her opponent yesterday and called her “absolutely terrible” and “very disloyal,” Rep. Nancy Mace this morning stands in front of Trump Tower and pleads with MAGA to support her, saying she is the only one who can hang onto this swing seat for the GOP. 🍿 pic.twitter.com/IRWQatF6n7

Ms. Mace voted to keep Liz Cheney in her position in the Republican Party in the first vote on the matter and then was one of nine Republicans to hold Steve Bannon in contempt of Congress.
