Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) set Republicans and Democrats alike on fire Wednesday night during a stirring speech at the Washington Press Club Congressional Dinner.
Journalists and lawmakers packed the glamorous Waldorf Astoria hotel in Washington, DC, for the 77th annual event.
Mace, already known for her direct and outspoken ways, swept the house with roasts from her controversial colleagues as the featured Republican speaker, and she also sprinkled her speech with some light-hearted remarks.
He made several jokes about Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) in connection with a federal investigation into whether he had committed sexual acts with a minor, even claiming he wasn’t at the dinner because he “couldn’t find a babysitter,” before quickly adding, ‘to be your date’.
The congresswoman even went after House Speaker Kevin McCarthy for his 15-round vote to win the gavel last month, joking that she “hasn’t seen anyone take so many stands to appease the crazy Republicans since Stormy Daniels.” “.
South Carolina Republican Rep. Nancy Mace was one of the featured speakers at the Washington Press Club’s annual congressional dinner.
“Well, let’s be honest: We all knew that Matt Gaetz would never let the vote go to 18,” Mace said.
Mace had been one of the last holdouts in the Republican Party before McCarthy won his ‘yes’ vote as well.
He then turned his attention to Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), who was recently ousted from the House Foreign Affairs Committee by a Republican majority in a vote of the entire House.
“I tried to look for Ilhan Omar in the audience tonight as well, but it seems she lost her seat,” Mace said.
Looking around at the mixed reaction from the crowd, she added: “I was sure they would boo me.”
Someone brought Omar’s presence in the audience to Mace’s attention, to which she said, ‘There you are, baby!’
The Republican congresswoman even mocked herself for her past devotion to Donald Trump, which included her trip to New York City to film a video outside Trump Tower pledging allegiance to him, after he had already endorsed his main rival. republican.
“This is a beautiful hotel, a beautiful property that was formerly owned by Trump,” Mace said. Ownership of the event venue had recently changed hands from Trump’s real estate empire to the Waldorf Astoria.
“Thank God it’s not an actual Trump hotel, because if it was, I’d be standing out front all night shooting video,” Mace added.
He made several jokes about Rep. Matt Gaetz being married and being attracted to underage girls.
He also compared House Speaker Kevin McCarthy to Stormy Daniels in a quip that could, jokingly, send her “to the principal’s office.”
But he saved most of the attack for Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO), whose love of guns became a running joke to Mace.
After mocking embattled fabulist Rep. George Santos (R-NY), Mace said he was giving “Republicans a bad name,” and followed up with, “That’s the job of Lauren Boebert.”
“Just kidding, Lauren, don’t shoot,” Mace added.
He also mocked Boebert’s ownership of a restaurant called Shooter’s Grill in Rifle, Colorado.
“It’s like Matt Gaetz owns a restaurant called Jail Baits,” Mace said.
“Or it could be like Hunter Biden owns a restaurant called Crackheads, or Ilhan Omar owns a restaurant called Anti-Semites.”
