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.

    Popularity and “importance” are two different things. You can no longer control the news.

    It makes a lot of sense for you to be the king of shit posting. You very much deserve that position. If you want to think that community is “important,” it is an opinion you are welcome to have.

          It takes two. He was staying within the wheelhouse of the discussion. You chose to make it personal. If you don’t like what he has to say on the subject, either respectfully disagree, or don’t respond.

          But you antagonized. That doesn’t warrant banning someone because they stood up for themselves.
