Oh, it’s campaign season alright—and if you needed any proof, just watch the video Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) posted this weekend, where she delivers a no-nonsense reality check to a voter who tried to corner her in a makeup store over when she’d be holding her next town hall. Spoiler alert: it didn’t end in polite smiles and handshakes. It ended in F-bombs, accusations of lunacy, and a full-on social media flex from Mace.

Let’s set the stage: a voter—who Mace later described as an “unhinged lunatic” wearing Daisy Dukes—gets in her face and demands to know when her next town hall will be. Not a big ask on the surface, but what followed quickly made it clear this wasn’t a guy looking for civic dialogue. The interaction, caught on video and shared by Mace on X (formerly Twitter), shows the conversation escalate fast.
“I’ve already done one, I’ll do plenty more,” Mace says calmly at first. “You’re always invited.”
But when the man pushes further, things snap.
Mace—clearly done with the baiting—throws down:
“You people on the left are absolutely f—ing crazy. Get out of my face.”
The man fires back, calling her “insane” and predicting she’ll be “voted out so fast this year.” It’s raw, it’s unscripted, and it’s pure 2024 political theater.
There’s something happening here—and it’s bigger than a town hall question. This was never about the logistics of a civic meeting. It was about confrontation politics, the kind that’s being pushed and prodded into nearly every corner of American life, right down to the makeup aisle.
Nancy Mace isn’t exactly a wallflower in Washington. She’s tough, unapologetically combative, and often a political wildcard. She voted to codify gay marriage, sparking backlash from both sides of the aisle. So when this voter tried to weaponize her record against her, it wasn’t shocking that she came ready to swing back.
“I hold the line 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Try me,” she said in her follow-up post.
That’s not just a soundbite—that’s a political statement. Mace isn’t interested in softening her edges. She knows that in this political environment, authenticity—flaws and fire included—wins battles.
Some unhinged lunatic, a man, wearing daisy dukes, at a makeup store, got in my face today. Dems are nuts. So I went off – and I won’t be backing down.

Let’s be honest: trying to ambush a sitting congresswoman in public and goad her into a viral meltdown? That’s a play straight from the online left’s activism playbook. But what happened here was the opposite. Mace didn’t wither. She fired back, posted the footage herself, and turned the tables with a headline-grabbing moment that puts her base on notice: she’s not backing down.
