GOP Rep. Nancy Mace—who is currently running as a South Carolina gubernatorial candidate—was reportedly forced to cancel a Thursday speech after nearly no one bothered to show up.
Mace was set to address a local chapter of the far-right organization Moms for Liberty, but changed course after only eight people showed up, My Horry News reported. Mace reportedly slunk away backstage to avoid addressing the situation directly, before pivoting to speaking with those in attendance individually—and taking some questions from the media, of course.
Event organizers had reportedly hoped 100 people would show.

South Carolinians will head to the polls to vote for their new governor on Nov. 3. Incumbent Gov. Henry McMaster, a Republican, is not running due to term limits.
Mace, who announced her gubernatorial bid earlier this month, is one of five Republicans currently vying for the state’s top job.
In announcing her run on Aug. 4, Mace embraced her firebrand reputation when she declared: “I didn’t come to join the club. They don’t want me, and I don’t want them.”
“I came to hold the line,” Mace continued. “They said stay quiet; I spoke up. They said sit down; I stood up. They said play nice, and I fought back.”

Mace has attempted to clamp onto President Donald Trump’s coattails, stoking MAGA mayhem by attacking Democratic-led bills, policies and positions—describing herself as “Trump in heels” as she publicly pleaded for his support in her race for governor, ABC News reported.
Mace told press at her flop event that her campaign is “winning by double digits everywhere, but particularly with folks who support the president.”
But her political ploys have often left her with egg on her face.
A visibly angry Mace lost her cool with a reporter two weeks ago when she was fact-checked during a town hall at Veterans Café and Grill in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. After Mace claimed credit for the state’s infrastructure upgrades tied to the Inflation Reduction Act, the reporter called Mace out for voting against it, leading to fireworks.
“You’re very confused,” Mace said, outraged, before going on the attack. “You’re a raging Democrat… a raging leftist with that kind of questioning. And I would say, as a woman, like, you might wanna think about how you view other women.”
In another painfully awkward public moment, Mace claimed that she likes to unwind by watching ICE deportation raids—a comment that was ripped across X as a crude attempt to position herself as head ICE Barbie over Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem.

A MAGA representative received sharp criticism on Sunday evening after she shared unconfirmed rumors about an active shooter on the University of South Carolina campus.
Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC), who is running for South Carolina governor, amplified claims on X that there was an active shooter at the USC library. She also shared a since-deleted photo of the shooter and a few identifying characteristics. The person Mace accused of being the shooter was later discovered to be carrying an umbrella, not a gun, on campus.
"Please be safe and we are praying for safety for our students and the safety of law enforcement as they take swift action to apprehend this individual," Mace wrote from her official X account.
Later in the evening, she posted that the event was "confusing" for all involved. She also posted a thank you note to local law enforcement who responded to the school.
"Real, or a hoax, or a mistake, now would be an appropriate time to talk about hardened security at schools of all grades, colleges and universities," Mace wrote. "This was a terrifying experience for students on campus and their families."
Several people responded to Mace's claims on social media.
"South Carolina police say there is no shooter on the campus of USC," Travis Akers, a retired Navy intelligence officer who lives in South Carolina, wrote on X. "The image shared by @NancyMace was obtained from X, and was of a student carrying an umbrella. The image was not released by law enforcement or an official authority, and could have resulted in him being killed."
"She deleted it but my God how irresponsible can Nancy Mace be?" Tyler Jones, CEO of Charleston Edge Collective, posted on X.
"@NancyMace posted videos of this kid casually walking through campus with his umbrella saying he was a shooter at the University of South Carolina during their active shooter scare earlier that turned out to be a false alarm….kid should sue her a--!" Wu-Tang is for the Children posted on X.
"Now would be an appropriate time to talk about how to appropriately punish you for this false post that could have gotten someone killed," Fred Guttenberg, who's daughter was killed in the 2018 Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting, posted on X. "As the father of Jaime, killed in the Parkland shooting, everything about you and your messaging is the problem. Seek help as I firmly believe you are in need."
