UPDATE: Former GOP analyst Tim Miller has launched a scathing critique of Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) following her controversial comments on gay marriage. On Wednesday, Miller responded to Mace’s recent social media posts that appeared to contradict her past support for LGBTQ rights.
In a tweet from Tuesday, Mace referenced the phrase, “Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve,” a derogatory slogan often used by conservative factions to undermine gay marriage. The backlash was swift, with a Community Note on X highlighting her previous votes supporting the protection of gay marriage.
Miller, host of “The Bulwark Podcast,” did not hold back during the latest episode of “Bulwark Takes,” stating, “This is a deeply sad woman just looking for attention.” He presented a montage of Mace’s earlier posts where she expressed support for LGBTQ rights. Notably, a tweet from 2021 stated, “I support LGBTQ rights. Nobody should be discriminated against,” followed by her assertion that “religious liberty, gay rights, and transgender equality can all coexist.”
Miller pointed out the irony of Mace’s evolving stance, particularly after experiencing personal challenges, including two divorces. He remarked, “That’s Nancy’s trajectory from ‘Equality for everybody’ to ‘Go ahead and get married if you want, gays, it’s miserable.'” He emphasized that Mace’s tone shifted after a friend’s divorce, indicating a more cynical view of marriage.
This developing story raises critical questions about the authenticity of Mace’s political positions and her alignment with the evolving views on LGBTQ rights within her party. As Miller’s commentary continues to make waves, political analysts are keenly watching how this discourse will impact Mace’s standing within the GOP and among her constituents back in South Carolina.
As this situation unfolds, it remains to be seen how Mace will respond to the backlash and whether her constituents will hold her accountable for her shifting views. Stay tuned for more updates on this urgent story.
