WHO Among US hasn’t skipped a short breakfast to get to work on time? At Sen. Tim Scott’s (R-S.C.) prayer breakfast on Thursday morning, Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) spoke about her personal predicament.
“When I woke up this morning at seven,” Mace explained, “Patrick, my fiancé, tried to pull me by my waist over this morning in bed and I was like ‘no baby we don’t got time for that this morning, I’ve gotta get to the prayer breakfast.’”
“He can wait, I’ll see him later tonight,” she added.
Even though the comment might have been a touch too personal, conservative influencers reacted with utter contempt. You see, Mace, 45, committed the critical error of acknowledging that she, an adult woman, has a sexual life apart from marriage. We are positive that no other right-wing commentator has ever done this.
In response to a video of the incident, Florida congressional candidate Lavern Spicer tweeted, “That’s some hoe talk.”
“Here’s your daily reminder that Nancy Mace is trash,” wrote Tim Young, a conservative comedian boasting more than 800,000 followers.
“How thoughtful for @NancyMace to delay fornication so she could show up on time for @votetimscott’s prayer breakfast. Reminds me of a line from that old song, “E’rybody talkin’ ’bout heaven ain’t going there,” wrote Pastor Tom Ascol.
“Mace just said she turned down sex from her NOT husband but her fiancé this morning,” wrote podcaster Graham Allen. “I’ll take ‘what is a sin for $500 Alex’??.”
By tweeting on Thursday afternoon that she attends church “because I’m a sinner not a saint,” Mace herself appears unfazed by the incident.
“Glad those in attendance, including [Senator Tim Scott] and my pastor, took this joke in stride,” she wrote “Pastor Greg and I will have extra to talk about on Sunday.”
Even if Mace’s remarks at the prayer breakfast have conservatives in a panic, it looks like she has more important things to do at home.
