'Talk about weird': Nancy Mace CNN appearance described as 'most entertaining train wreck'

U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC), an ally of Donald Trump, made a splash on the internet after an appearance on CNN that some said went off the rails. Mace, who became better known after she alienated much of her caucus when she joined the small group of renegade Republicans who voted to oust former Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) from the House Speakership, appeared on a CNN panel, where the topic of Kamala Harris' race was broached by others. At one point, Mace says, "I wouldn't back someone that I thought was a misogynist and I fully back Donald Trump in 2024." In another instance from panel, she says she will say Vice President Kamala Harris' name "however I want to."

Alexander Vindman's wife — said, "She is pathetic. A total fraud." Eric Columbus, an Obama appointee, said, "Talk about weird — it’s very weird to say you’ll keep saying someone’s name wrong!" Independent journalist Aaron Rupar also chimed in, saying, "These are the sorts of things you say when you are completely amoral person who stands for nothing more than getting attention on TV." Democratic strategist Keith Edwards responded to the moment Mace was confronted with comments Trump made about Harris' race. She first claimed she didn't know what Trump said and, after fellow panelists told her exactly what his remarks were, she still refused to condemn what he said. "I didn't say it and I would not say it," Mace said before the CNN segment ended. "Oh my god," Edwards responded. Another Democratic strategist, Adam Parkhomenko, also replied: "I have been watching this live and she is out of f------ control." Stand up comedian Pete Dominick said, "This is the most entertaining train wreck I’ve seen in a bit." Watch below or click the link here.
