The Republican Get together and its presidential nominee Donald Trump have an issue: They’re sexist and their insurance policies are misogynistic. Which means that ladies voters are repelled by Trump and he has solely a small variety of feminine marketing campaign surrogates who aren’t associated to him.
One such surrogate is Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina. Mace broke with Trump again when he tried to overthrow our nation’s election outcomes, however she has since returned to the MAGA fold. The congresswoman appeared on Neil Cavuto’s Fox Information present to assault Democratic nominee Kamala Harris and argue {that a} Trump presidency will probably be higher for ladies.
“As a girl, I wish to vote for somebody who’s going to guard ladies like me, who’re survivors of rape,” Mace informed Cavuto.
That’s fairly a press release contemplating that in Could 2023, Trump was discovered chargeable for sexually abusing author E. Jean Carroll and subsequently ordered to pay tens of thousands and thousands of {dollars} in damages for defaming Carroll by saying she lied concerning the abuse.
“[Trump] can go toe to toe with [Harris] on women’s issues,” Mace stated with a straight face. “I feel very confident about that.” The MAGA world isn’t an echo chamber; it’s a corridor of delusions.
Mace has displayed this distressing degree of hypocrisy earlier than. In March, she was grossly dismissive of Trump’s culpability within the sexual abuse case when pressed about her assist by “This Week” host George Stephanopoulos.
“He was not discovered responsible in a civil—in a legal courtroom of regulation,” Mace stammered. “It was a civil—it was sexual abuse. It wasn’t actually rape, by the way.”
The Republican Get together was trounced within the 2022 midterm elections due to the Supreme Courtroom choice that overturned Roe v. Wade and drastically restricted abortion entry. That electoral legal responsibility isn’t mounted by nominating the identical man that helped restrict reproductive rights by hand-picking the conservative justices who ignored settled regulation.
And sending out a large hypocrite (who simply occurs to be a girl) to vouch for Trump received’t assist issues for the GOP, both.
