A mace is a blunt weapon, a type of club or virge that uses a heavy head on the end of a handle

Why do these idiots keep exposing themselves to the AOC firestorm?

Stupid is as stupid does, I guess…

The Republicans were, and are, in league with the insurrectionists. It’s not complicated.

And I was beginning to think that Mace had some integrity and might be one of the good ones.
But then…South Carolina.

Silly me.

Before the election there were numerous stories about how many Republican women were running for office and how’d they would change the party going forward.

Just saying.

Mace also brushed off Ocasio-Cortez’s rebuke by slamming her for “making this political.”

Pretty sure “this” was the riot, in which a mob of the former executive’s followers stormed the legislature, on his instructions, with murderous intent and a goal to erase the votes of the majority of the country.

That’s an explicitly political action. Oh, and someone ziptied or worse is far more “cancelled” than any of these crybaby conservatives ever will be.

FACT: Insurrectionists weren’t in our hallways. It’s your eagerness to politicize absolutely ANYTHING that deserves condemnation.

“I’m two doors down from @ aoc and no insurrectionists stormed our hallway.”

“I can prove a negative!”

Um…

This is nobody-Mace free-riding AOC’s national presence to create a bigger profile for herself. It seems that these type of Congresspeople are working harder at self-marketing and emotional warfare (all in the interest of raising money for re-election) than they are legislating and constituent service.

I too hate it when people politicize a tragedy like an attack on government offices instigated by a sitting president. Let’s keep the partisanship out of it, folks.
