Mace said she was speaking out because her home state’s top prosecutor didn’t take action even after she alerted investigators. That same prosecutor is likely to be Mace’s opponent if she runs for governor of South Carolina in 2026, which she is considering.
Saying she was going “scorched earth,” Mace detailed how, in November 2023, she says she “accidentally uncovered some of the most heinous crimes against women imaginable. We’re talking about rape, non-consensual photos, non-consensual videos of women and underage girls, and the premeditated, calculated exploitation of women and girls in my district.”
Mace mentioned four men as being involved, including Charleston-area businessman Patrick Bryant, who was her fiancé until 2023 and went door-to-door stumping for her during her 2022 reelection campaign.
She stated on the floor that there were pictures, if this is the case then that is easily verifiable or at least shown to be logged in (as there is underage material listed in her complaint) if this is just grand standing and using her position to gain an upper hand against a political rival then it could help lead to laws that would curb this BS ‘political speech’ freedoms that they abuse (in reference the idea that they can say any lie they want to as long as they say they are stumping so the voters know they would never actually do the things said).
