Goodbye, Nancy Mace

The South Carolina primary — which I bet most of you forgot was even happening, unless you particularly love or loathe Senator Lindsey Graham — has come and gone. And there’s a good reason you forgot: It’s a blessedly sleepy primary season in the Palmetto State, one where nothing much of note really happened. The state’s Republican primary voters rewarded Graham for years of service as a faithful political ally to President Donald Trump, despite his internal enemies within South Carolina politics, while the governor’s race (equally predictably) went to a runoff between Lieutenant Governor Pamela Evette and state Attorney General Alan Wilson.

So why bother even commenting about it? Because I’m fairly certain this is also the last occasion I shall ever have to write about Nancy Mace, the representative from South Carolina’s first district and one of the more disturbed politicians I have ever encountered during my professional career.
