On primary morning, Mace recast a volunteer's megaphone grab as a 'physical assault' by Pamela Evette's 'employees'
On June 9, 2026, the day South Carolina Republicans voted in their gubernatorial primary, Rep. Nancy Mace spent the morning posting about something that had happened the night before outside a rival's campaign stop in Greer. Across three accounts, before 9:15 a.m., she called it a 'physical assault' by 'one of Pamela Evette's employees,' a 'violent' act, and grounds for Evette to 'drop out of the race.' The Greer Police Department incident report describes the same event more narrowly: a man 'ran up to' a protester 'who was holding a megaphone and ripped the megaphone out of his hands,' then handed it to the officers already standing there. The charge was misdemeanor assault and battery in the third degree, citation issued on scene. Evette's campaign said the man, Blake Kirsch, was an unpaid volunteer on its finance committee, not a staffer, and condemned the conduct. Local stations led with 'volunteer' and 'megaphone snatched.' Mace finished last in the primary that day.
June 9, 2026 · DispatchUnder a gag order barring 'any comment about any aspect of this case,' Mace uses her televised concession speech to talk about 'predators that got away in my case'
On the night of June 9, 2026, after conceding the South Carolina Republican gubernatorial primary, Nancy Mace told her Charleston election-night crowd, and a live television audience, that she had talked to Attorney General Alan Wilson 'about my case' and would help his administration ensure that 'predators that got away in my case … we finally put criminals behind bars.' Mace is a third-party defendant in Berg v. Bryant, where a November 26, 2025 gag order bars every party from 'making or publishing any comment about any aspect of this case' or about any party or person connected to it, and a January 12, 2026 civil-contempt motion over her earlier public statements remains pending. Both orders are reproduced in full below. Mace contends the gag order is unconstitutional; all underlying allegations are unproven and contested, and no court has ruled on the June 9 remarks.
January 3, 2026 · DispatchWhile the gag order holds, Mace proposes Aggravated Voyeurism Act and ties it to her 'personal experiences' as a victim
On January 3, 2026, with the Berg v. Bryant gag order in effect, Rep. Nancy Mace announced the Aggravated Voyeurism Act at the South Carolina statehouse and publicly tied it to her 'personal experiences' as a self-described victim of voyeurism. The announcement was not cited in the contempt motion filed January 12, 2026; it is presented here as a public statement made during the order's effective period. Mace disputes the validity and scope of the gag order.

On July 31, 2026, from her personal X account, Rep. Nancy Mace posted a photo of a named individual, Celeste Keaton, and wrote 'She looks like a dyke,' using an anti-LGBTQ slur that runs against X's own hateful-conduct policy.

Maceopedia has not independently verified, and does not repeat as fact, the separate allegation Mace attached about the individual.
September 4, 2026 · DispatchNancy Mace, on Piers Morgan: 'I don't believe there's been genocide in Gaza'
On the September 1, 2026 Piers Morgan Uncensored panel, Rep. Nancy Mace was pressed repeatedly by a fellow panelist to call the war in Gaza a genocide and refused, saying, 'I don't believe there's been genocide in Gaza.' She defended Israel without qualification ('I think Israel is protecting Jews as they should. I support Israel'), rejected a two-state solution ('This has been Israel's land'), and, asked to condemn the killing of civilian children in Gaza, pivoted instead. A panelist confronted her over pro-Israel PAC money, calling her 'bought and paid for.'
September 1, 2026 · DispatchMace's Halloween Post: 'I'm Going To Dress Up As A Liberal White Woman'
On the morning of September 1, 2026, Rep. Nancy Mace posted from her personal verified X account: 'For halloween this year, I'm going to dress up as a liberal white woman.' The line ran over a staged image of a figure draped head to toe in black, face fully covered, a gloved hand on a podcast microphone before the lit Capitol. It is not a one-off. It is the capstone of a documented month-long run of 'liberal white woman' material from Mace: a 'Get Maced' episode titled 'THE ENEMY WITHIN,' a Daily Wire op-ed under her byline calling liberal white women a 'national security threat,' and Facebook teasers. This dispatch shows the post and lays out the record; readers can judge it for themselves.
