Playbook reports:
Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) had sharp words for her party on Thursday about its latest divisive move on abortion access – only to wind up voting yes in the end.
“We should not be taking this fucking vote, man. Fuck,” a visibly frustrated Mace was overheard venting to her staff in an elevator, apparently referring to Thursday’s vote to reverse Biden administration policy on reimbursing travel costs for service members seeking abortions. “It’s an asshole move, an asshole amendment.”
But Mace wound up backing it anyway – as clear an indication you can get of the pressure Republicans face to support restrictions on abortion access. That’s not to mention her status as one of her party’s most unpredictable members.

Nancy Mace (R-SC) said her GOP colleagues looked like ‘assholes’ for forcing a vote on a Biden administration policy that currently reimburses travel costs for military members who seek an abortion. However, despite her remarks, Mace ultimately voted for the amendment. pic.twitter.com/mt8Za6fNTI

Nancy Mace once said that the Republican Party “needs to stop being assholes to women.” Then she votes for a defense bill that overturns the Pentagon’s policies on covering abortion services for pregnant women in the military. Don’t trust Nancy or the GOP.pic.twitter.com/wzf7XxjbO3
