During a recent hearing of the House Oversight and Accountability Committee, Republican Congresswoman Nancy Mace of South Carolina took a bold stance against the fake outrage and hypocrisy displayed by Democrats and the liberal media. In a fierce statement, Mace entered into the congressional record an article from Newsweek that showed former President Bill Clinton mispronouncing Vice President Kamala Harris’s name during a Democratic National Convention speech.
Mace also called out other prominent Democrats such as Al Sharpton, rapper Lil Jon, and even current President Joe Biden for struggling to pronounce Harris’s name correctly. She also highlighted a recent incident on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” where activist Joan Baez mistakenly referred to Harris as a “camel.”
But Mace’s most powerful moment came when she held up screenshots of alleged text messages sent to her by CNN panelist and Vanderbilt University professor, Michael Eric Dyson.
In the messages, sent after Dyson had publicly criticized Mace for supposedly using “white supremacist language,” he can be seen calling her “gorgeous” and using a kissy emoji. Mace pointedly reminded the committee that Dyson had labeled her a racist on national television before sending flirty messages, implying that his accusations were disingenuous.
“The guy says I’m gorgeous in all these photos,” Mace stated. “I don’t think he’s that bent out of shape on how anyone pronounces Kamala. And if we’re going to have that standard, you gotta hold it to both sides, not just one or the other.”
It’s a valid point raised by Mace in a time when the liberal media constantly attacks Republicans for any perceived misstep, while protecting Democrats from similar scrutiny. Mace’s bold move in entering the text messages into the record shines a light on the double standards and fake outrage perpetuated by Democrats and the mainstream media.
This is not the first time Mace has called out the biased treatment she receives from the mainstream media. In March, she engaged in a tense exchange with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos, who attempted to shame her for her political choices, while completely ignoring her experience as a rape survivor
. Mace has consistently stood up against the hypocrisy and double standards of the left, and her actions display a determination to hold all individuals accountable, regardless of their political affiliation.

It’s time for Democrats and the liberal media to stop their fake outrage and hypocritical behavior. Mace’s actions in calling out their blatant disregard for the truth and fairness should serve as a wake-up call.
As she stated during the hearing, “If we’re going to have that standard, you gotta hold it to both sides, not just one or the other.” It’s time for equal treatment and accountability on both sides of the political spectrum.
