Mediaite reports:
Days after filming a video outside Trump Tower in which she touted her support for a wide-range of former President Donald Trump’s policies, in what appeared to be a desperate effort to win back his support, Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) now says she’s prepared to defeat a primary challenger he has endorsed.
“I’m gonna win without him,” Mace told South Carolina news outlet The State, in a feature which ran Sunday. Mace, who is facing Trump-endorsed opponent Katie Arrington, denied that her video at Trump Tower was part of a last-ditch effort to try to get back in the former president’s good graces.
The State reports:
“If you call it groveling, I would say you didn’t watch the video,” Mace said. “I think it’s important to know what I said, but also what I didn’t say — present tense versus past tense.” In that video, which took Mace six takes to get exactly right, she said she supports Trump’s policies. Present tense.
“She sold out President Trump. She sold out this district. She sold me out. I voted for her,” Arrington said. “And I sent her to Washington because she was going to be a pro-Trump conservative, because that’s what we need.”
