Rep. Nancy Mace (R-South Carolina) has accused her former staffers of “sabotaging” her after most of them resigned in recent months, complaining about her erratic working style.
In February, Mace’s former aides publicly complained about their time working for her.
One former staffer told The Daily Beast that the South Carolina representative “says nothing publicly without her consultants or senior staffers telling her to but takes credit for everything.” Another ex-staffer mentioned that she is considered a “joke” in Congress.
Most of the representative’s staff quit, leaving her struggling to find new employees.
Mace’s office has experienced a 100% turnover since November 1, 2023.
The representative described several ways in which her former staffers had sabotaged her.
“I knew that they were sabotaging the office for a while,” Mace told the Daily Mail. “I didn’t know to the extent that they were doing it. They were signing my name...

Rep. Nancy Mace incorrectly claimed that crime is “skyrocketing” across the United States under President Joe Biden, prompting X (formerly Twitter) to issue a community note correcting her. That note was later removed by the platform.
“You’re seeing, since Joe Biden took office, crime skyrocketing all across the country, and especially in big cities,” Mace said in a campaign video posted to X on Saturday. “You see illegal immigrants coming in, beating up cops… You’re seeing crime skyrocket.”

Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is enacting a revenge plot against the eight House Republicans who ousted him.
In October 2023, McCarthy was booted from his position as House speaker when a group of Republicans joined all Democrats in voting to vacate the chair.
McCarthy is out for revenge against the group that he has dubbed the “Crazy Eight” or “Gaetz Eight” and its leader, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Florida), who introduced the motion to have the speaker vacated.
The former House speaker left Congress two months later. This ended up shrinking his party’s majority in the chamber.
McCarthy’s ally, Brian Walsh, is working to round up primary challengers to the “Gaetz Eight.”
The ousted speaker is prepared to mobilize his still-sizable donor network to arrange primary challenges. He is focusing on three representatives specifically. His allies believe that Reps. Nancy Mace (R-South Carolina), Bob Good (R-Virginia) and Eli Crane...

According to those who’ve spoken to him lately, former President Donald Trump doesn’t seem to think he’s actually going to win his defamation lawsuit against ABC News and its star host George Stephanopoulos — but that’s not the point.
Over the weekend, Stephanopoulos asserted that Trump had been “found liable for rape and defaming” the victim, writer E. Jean Carroll, by judges and two juries. As a factual matter, a jury found Trump defamed and sexually abused Carroll — and he was ordered to pay $83 million for defaming her again.

Former President Donald Trump filed a defamation lawsuit against ABC News and George Stephanopoulos over the remarks the anchor made during an interview with Rep. Nancy Mace (R-South Carolina) on This Week.
Trump’s lawsuit, filed in a federal court in Miami on March 18, focused on how Stephanopoulos, at many points in his questioning, mentioned that the former president was found “liable for rape.” The jury found him liable for sexual abuse under New York law, but not rape.
“These statements were and remain false, and were made by Defendant Stephanopoulos with actual malice or with a reckless disregard for the truth given that Defendant Stephanopoulos knows that these statements are patently and demonstrably false,” Trump’s attorney, Alejandro Brito, wrote in the 20-page complaint.
“Indeed, the jury expressly found that Plaintiff did not commit rape and, as demonstrated below, Defendant George Stephanopoulos was aware of the jury’s finding...

Former President Donald Trump has filed a defamation suit against ABC News and one of its best known anchors, George Stephanopoulos, alleging that the TV journalist damaged Trump’s standing by saying on air that he had been found liable for raping E. Jean Carroll, a journalist and writer who recently won a defamation suit against the former Commander in Chief.
The suit, filed Monday in the Miami division of Southern District of Florida in the U.S. District Court, attempts to make the case that Stephanopoulos during the course of a recent broadcast of ABC News’ “This Week” defamed Trump by stating the rape allegations several times. While Trump was found liable by a jury of assaulting Carroll sexually, the judge in the trial indicated that Carroll had not failed to prove that Trump raped her, citing New York’s narrow legal definition of the crime.
ABC News declined to comment on the matter.

Former President Donald Trump has again filed a defamation lawsuit against a major media outlet, this time over comments that ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos made during a contentious recent interview with Rep. Nancy Mace (R-sc).
The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Miami, claims that Stephanopoulos defamed him during his questioning of Mace during an interview on This Week.
During the interview, Stephanopoulos played a video in which Mace said that she was a victim of rape. He first asked Mace, “You endorsed Donald Trump for president. Judges and two separate juries have found him liable for rape and for defaming the victim of that rape. How do you square your endorsement of Donald Trump with the testimony that we just saw?”
Mace said to Stephanopoulos, “I’ve lived for 30 years with an incredible amount of shame over being raped. I didn’t come forward because of that...

Former President Donald Trump makes an appearance in a New York state courtroom to be arraigned on felony criminal charges on Tuesday, April 4, 2023.
Former U.S. President Donald Trump has filed a defamation lawsuit against ABC News after one of its journalists erroneously said he was found legally liable for rape.
The comments were made by journalist George Stephanopolous during the March 10th episode of “This Week,” during which he repeatedly asked South Carolina Rep. Nancy Mace to explain why she would support Trump despite a recently-decided civil trial that found him liable for sexually abusing writer E. Jean Carroll.
During the interview, Stephanopolous repeatedly said a civil jury in New York state had found former President Trump “liable for rape,” though the actual case decided whether Trump was liable for sexual assault. A state judge overseeing the case later affirmed the outcome of the case did not hold Trump...

Amid the U.S. House passing a bill this week that would ban TikTok, Bill Maher wasted no time Friday sharing his thoughts on the controversial matter.
To kick off the latest episode of HBO’s Real Time, the host joked during his monologue, “China, you know what, you can manufacture everything else that we use, but keeping our kids stupid, that’s our job.”
The bill, which passed by a vote of 352-65 in the House, would lead to a nationwide ban of the popular video app if its China-based owner, ByteDance, doesn’t sell it. Lawmakers have expressed concerns that the company’s current ownership structure is a national security threat. President Joe Biden has said if Congress passes the measure, he will sign it, however, the bill has to pass the Senate first.
Later on Real Time, during his discussion with Republican Rep. Nancy Mace and Democratic Rep.

Bill Maher tapes his show, which means news that breaks on Friday is usually not mentioned.
Such was the case on Friday’s Real Time, as earlier in the day, stories broke that Maher has fired his longtime agents at CAA, allegedly over not being invited to agency head Bryan Lourd’s A-list house party during Oscars week.
Ironically, Maher’s “New Rules” editorial was about the trend toward whining about the small stuff in life.
“Being obsessed with your mental heath is bad for your mental heath,” he proclaimed. He tied it to why President Joe Biden’s approval rating is so low “when things are pretty good.” He cited the modern blessings of next day shopping, stuffed crust pizza, and porn on your phone. So “cheer the f**k up,” he advised.
“Yes, you are on the spectrum,” Maher said. “So’s everyone alive. That’s why they call it a spectrum.

In October 2023, former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy was ousted from his position in a vote by eight House Republicans and all Democrats to remove McCarthy.
Among the eight was controversial Rep. Nancy Mace (R-South Carolina). Now, Mace is calling out McCarthy, labelling him a “complete loser” for not reaching out to her before she joined the vote to remove him from the House.
“The former speaker needs a job. I think that’s the problem: He’s bored and doesn’t know what to do with himself,” she told Politico.
Mace says that current House Speaker is Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana) is someone she trusts more than McCarthy. Mace has also been outspoken about the Republican party, going against Donald Trump after the January 6 Capitol storming and the party’s position on abortion. But she recently reversed course and endorsed Trump for president.

Before Samuel L. Jackson became synonymous with the Marvel Cinematic Universe thanks to his decades-long role as Nick Fury, it was “Star Wars” that was the first Hollywood mega-franchise to open its doors for the beloved actor. Jackson played Jedi master Mace Windu in George Lucas’ “Star Wars” prequel trilogy, and it’s a role he appears quite eager to play again despite Mace being killed off in 2015’s “Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith” after Anakin severs his hand with a lightsaber, and Emperor Palpatine electrocutes him and sends him flying out of a building window.
Not so fast. During an interview with Empire Magazine, Jackson had this to say about Mace’s fate: “He’S Not Dead!!!” When the subject of Mace being brought back for his own Disney+ series came up, Jackson was asked what he would want to see in such a project.

Rep. Nancy Mace’s (R-South Carolina) former staffers are publicly complaining about their time working for her, with one calling her “delusional” and another saying she is considered a “joke” in Congress.
Mace’s entire staff has reportedly quit, leaving her scrambling to find new employees.
Her office has undergone 100% turnover since November 1, 2023.
“She says nothing publicly without her consultants or senior staffers telling her to but takes credit for everything. She’s a walking teleprompter,” one former staffer said about Mace to the Daily Beast.
Another said she “has no idea what it actually means to be a member of Congress and is too scared and self-conscious to deal with other people, so she accomplished nothing.”
Former aides have claimed she demanded responses within eight minutes of her orders. One senior staffer recalled Mace calling her team close to midnight on Christmas Eve, upset that she was not getting...

Some movies can be so iconic that they accidentally end up damaging their own genre in the long run. For instance, we’re all aware of how cyberpunk has been living in the shadow of Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner since 1984, with it being nearly impossible to tell a story about a futuristic dystopia without bringing out the flying cars and neon signage. Fortunately, there are exceptions to this rule, and one of my personal favorites happens to be Kathryn Bigelow’s 1995 sci-fi thriller Strange Days.
A genre-bending murder mystery that takes place in the “distant” future of 1999, this special little film has aged spectacularly well despite its pre-millennial DNA, tackling pertinent issues like race relations and police corruption while also telling a surprisingly engaging love story. This is precisely why I think revisiting this retro-futuristic New Year’s extravaganza is the perfect way to start off 2024 with a bang.

President Joe Biden’s granddaughter, Naomi Biden, the daughter of Hunter Biden, confronted Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Georgia) on Wednesday when she accused the lawmaker of spreading misinformation when her father appeared at a House hearing.
Hunter made an unexpected appearance at a House Oversight and Accountability Committee markup on Wednesday, where the committee proceeded to move forward with a resolution to hold him in contempt of Congress for when he allegedly defied a subpoena issued in December. Tensions flared upon Hunter’s presence, as he briefly remained in the room while Republicans and Democrats engaged in heated exchanges before he departed with his entourage while Greene was mid-speech.
This prompted Greene to later post on X, “Wow – Hunter Biden fled the scene when I started exposing the truth behind the Biden Crime Family. Too bad his daddy can’t save him this time. We have mountains of evidence of...

The Fox News chyron blared, “Tempers flare as Hunter Biden crashes contempt hearing.” But on Wednesday, the network was joined by the two other major news networks in focusing on the legal travails of the president’s son.
Biden unexpectedly made an appearance at the House Oversight Committee’s hearing on whether to hold him in contempt after he declined to show for a behind-closed-doors congressional deposition last month. Instead, Hunter Biden said that he was willing to testify in the open.
“What you are watching is pure congressional mayhem,” CNN anchor John Berman told viewers of the scene.
At the hearing, Republican members appeared to be taken off guard by Biden’s appearance.
As Biden sat in the gallery, Rep. Nancy Mace (R-Sc) said to him, “My first question is, Who bribed Hunter Biden to be here. My second question is, you are the epitome of white privilege.

Serial liar and alleged fraudster George Santos is no longer a member of Congress. The New York Republican was expelled from his office on Friday after a successful two-thirds majority vote to secure his ouster.
Of the 311 representatives who voted to remove Santos, 105 were members of his own party. Yet despite Santos’ track record as a liar, the criminal indictments against him, and the findings of a scathing House Ethics report exploring his alleged misconduct, some far-right Republicans are furious at the notion that a member of Congress can face repercussions for their actions.

Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy called out his Republican colleagues responsible for his removal last month and called for “consequences.”
McCarthy was ousted on October 3, when eight house Republicans joined all Democrats to support a motion by Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Florida) to remove McCarthy from the Speaker’s role.
The vote made McCarthy the first speaker in U.S. history to lose the position through a floor vote. It took the GOP three weeks to unite around McCarthy’s replacement.
In an interview with CNN on Thursday, McCarthy labeled eight of his GOP critics “disruptors” and expressed surprise that Rep. Nancy Mace (R-South Carolina) and Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tennessee) had joined Gaetz to remove him from his position. McCarthy stated that the Republican Party would benefit “tremendously” if Gaetz were no longer a member of the House.

Republican representative Nancy Mace strutted around Capitol Hill on Tuesday wearing a shirt emblazoned with a large red A, attempting to reference “The Scarlet Letter” after she voted to oust Kevin McCarthy as House Speaker. Seth Meyers thinks Mace definitely meant for the letter to stand for “a-hole.”
“I’m wearing the scarlet letter after the week that I just had, last week, being a woman up here and being demonized for my vote and for my voice,” Mace told reporters on Tuesday, when asked about the shirt. Of course, that’s not why Hester Prynne wore the brand in the book.
So, during Wednesday night’s “A Closer Look,” Meyers immediately called out Mace’s understanding of the novel.
“Did Republicans also ban the book ‘The Scarlet Letter?’ Because clearly you haven’t read it,” he mocked. “The A stands for adulterer, not, as I presume you’re using it,...

"Ahsoka" just came to an end, bringing an inconsistent season with horrible pacing (yet also some of the best moments in recent "Star Wars" history) to a close. This felt like the most "Star Wars" a "Star Wars" show has ever been, with a true sense of adventure, jokes, lightsaber fights, magic, and actual intergalactic exploration.
And in classic "Star Wars" fashion we have some great villains. Indeed, "Ahsoka" may have given us the biggest collection of great "Star Wars" baddies since "Revenge of the Sith." While Thrawn and Baylan Skoll got all the attention, the one villain we had met already also deserves some credit. Morgan Elsbeth, who is revealed in "Ahsoka" to be a Nightsister of Dathomir, is an interesting antagonist, and she gets a big glow-up in the finale.
In recognition of Morgan's work in helping not just Thrawn, but the ancestral Dathmiri on the Nightsisters' original home planet of Peridia,...

It’s not often that Whoopi Goldberg gets into an argument with a guest on “The View,” but it happened on Monday, and as a result, the show was nearly unintelligible for several minutes.
It came as Rep. Nancy Mace (R-South Carolina) appeared on the ABC talk show, first discussing how the government narrowly avoided shutdown. Eventually though, Mace noted that she’s frustrated about how several issues are being handled in Congress, including abortion rights.
She said that neither side is willing to find a middle ground, prompting Goldberg to argue that there shouldn’t have to be a middle ground in the first place, because the government shouldn’t be involved in a woman’s decision to have an abortion.
“No law says you have to have an abortion. There’s no law on the books that says you have to have an abortion,” the host said. “Isn’t that my choice,...

Director Ridley Scott’s 1982 sci-fi classic Blade Runner was written by Hampton Fancher and David Webb Peoples, based on the Philip K. Dick story Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? – and when director Paul W.S. Anderson brought Peoples’ sci-fi action script Soldier to the screen sixteen years later, he and his crew added in references that set the story within the universe of Blade Runner. But during an interview with author Danny Stewart for the book Soldier: From Script to Screen (pick up a copy on Amazon), Peoples revealed that he had never intended for Soldier to be connected to Blade Runner.
When asked if he wrote Soldier as a “side-quel” to Blade Runner that was set in the same universe, Peoples answered, “No, I never had any thoughts about that.” The screenwriter went on to reveal, “I wrote Soldier in 1984. Very quickly on my own. I wrote it because...

Lt. Leaphorn and the Navajo police are closing in on the murderer who attempted to kill Joe and Jim Chee.
But they are no closer to identifying the man (Colton Wolf) nor understanding his motivations on Dark Winds Season 2 Episode 3.
This gap in their suspect profile could cost Joe and company dearly.
The problem is that this case has quickly gotten personal for Joe, reopening that hole in his heart that was J.J.'s death in an explosion.
This began when he discovered the belt buckle which J.J. had been wearing on the day he died among the burnt items from B.J. Vines' stolen lockbox on Dark Winds Season 2 Episode 1.
This obsession intensified when, on Dark Winds Season 2 Episode 2, Benny Charley informed Leaphorn that his murdered grandfather Emerson had told him the blond man had caused the explosion at the oil-drilling site.
