Future SC congresswoman Nancy Mace says she's already been 'blacklisted' by Democrats
CHARLESTON, S.C. -- South Carolina Republican Nancy Mace promised to be an independent voice for the Lowcountry if voters sent her to Congress, but the representative-elect says shes already facing partisan obstacles before shes even been sworn into office.
In an extensive one-on-one interview with The State newspaper at her home, the future U.S. House member for South Carolinas coastal 1st District said a congressional member informed her that Democrats are being told not to work with Mace on legislation.
Ive already been told that Im going to be blacklisted by the other side and wont be able to get anything done because they spent so much money millions of dollars to beat me and did not, Mace said while sitting on the back porch of her Daniel Island home on Tuesday morning. There are going to be challenges on both sides of the aisle, particularly when you have an independent streak and its how you operate.
Mace declined to say who told her she had been blacklisted, calling it a private conversation. However, Mace said she was not wholly surprised because she said both sides deploy these tactics.
