  • Nancy 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.'

  • "How self-loathing are they": Mace asks "how many Jews voted for Mamdani," doubles down when Piers Morgan calls it "an extraordinary charge." Israel's UN ambassador, asked twice, declines to agree.

    On the July 22, 2026 episode of Piers Morgan Uncensored, Rep. Nancy Mace reacted to NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani's call for the federal government to arrest Benjamin Netanyahu by asking "how many Jews voted for Mamdani," calling Jewish New Yorkers who backed him "self-loathing," and saying she is perplexed by "this guy coming to America eight years ago from Kampala." Mamdani moved to New York in 1999, at age 7; eight years ago matches his 2018 naturalization, not his arrival. When Morgan called her words "an extraordinary charge," Mace repeated them. Later in the same episode Morgan put her quote to Israel's UN Ambassador Danny Danon twice; Danon declined to agree both times.
