Nancy Mace spars with X community notes over voting record: ‘Y’all are so dumb’
Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) took issue Wednesday with some of the community notes on the social media platform X over her voting record.
“The @CommunityNote — y’all are so dumb. Go look up the NDAA, WRDA and PACT Act, all of which I voted for. I delivered for the lowcountry and will always continue to do so. Oh and do better. #LowcountryFirst,” she wrote on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.
Mace was responding to the community notes left on an earlier post on X that included a graphic with the caption: “$517,618,000 authorized or appropriated for SC-01.” The community notes — which allow selected users to add context to a post — highlighted that Mace voted against appropriations bills that “she is seeking credit for.”
The community note linked to the House clerk’s website, which showed Mace voting against the $1.2 trillion funding package that includes funding for Homeland Security, Defense and election security measures, among others.
“This 1,012-page bill is a slap in the face to hardworking taxpayers in the Lowcountry and across the nation. It is a byproduct of former failed leadership within the House, which shamefully rubber-stamped the Biden Administration’s agenda,” Mace said in a statement about her vote.
“This was also rushed, done in a secretive manner and pushed through Congress. The American people deserve better than backroom deals and pork-laden appropriations that allocate millions of dollars to fund the extreme left's political agenda,” she said.
There were also community notes left on her recent post attacking them. The community notes said the bills she mentioned — The National Defense Authorization Act, the Water Resources Development Act and the PACT Act — are all authorization bills that do not fund the activities they authorize.
“While Mace voted for these bills, she did not vote for the legislation that provided the funding to carry out these activities,” the community notes state as of Thursday morning.
The Hill has reached out to Mace’s office for further comment.
