Today, Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC), posted ... this.
Patrick Bryant is ... well, he's Nancy ex-fiancé.
Bryant owns a software firm in Charleston. After getting engaged to Mace in 2022 (three years after she divorced her second husband), they bought a swanky $4-million mansion together.
You may recall Mace telling a congressional prayer breakfast that she turned down sex with Bryant so she could come and join them in acknowledging God Almighty.
But most people don't know this background context.
All they saw was Mace's tweet about showing her "naked body" in Congress, and that was enough for the memes to start.
Mace apparently broke off her engagement with Bryant after she found him playing the field on a dating app.
Since then, she has accused him of being a pervert and a rapist, using her position as a U.S. congresswoman to make him the poster boy for digital sexual abuse ... and maybe get him thrown in jail while she's at it.
(Remember that Shakespeare quote about "hell hath no fury"?)
South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson said Mace's claim that his office is refusing to charge Bryant after she gave his people "evidence" is "categorically false." Bryant's friend Brian Musgrave (another man on the poster behind Mace in the above video) is also suing Mace for defamation.
This means either the AG of South Carolina is trying to protect Mace's ex-fiancé and his friends ... OR there's actually no evidence of anything criminal.
Well, Nancy got her chance to show off nude (blurry) photos of herself in Congress today during a meeting of the House Oversight Committee's Subcommittee on Cybersecurity, Information Technology, and Government Innovation.
I'll put a warning on here because apparently the photo is explicit, though no one can tell:
Mace is pushing for a bill, the Sue VOYEURS Act (H.R. 1204), that allows civil lawsuits for nonconsensual nude pictures or videos, with the maximum penalty being $150,000 per violation.
Was that "secret camera" of her fiancé's actually meant to film her while she walked naked around their house?
Or ... did the owner of a software firm install security cameras that automatically record when they detect motion, and one of those cameras caught an occupant walking around?
Under legislation like this, which claims to protect constitutional rights to privacy, could you, say, sue your ex over blurry security pictures of you walking nude to the kitchen for a midnight snack? Might that be weaponized in ways that would be bad?
I dunno, but Nancy Mace sure knows how to draw attention while the rest of Congress literally sleeps on the job.
The way I think about our legislative process has forever changed.
