SC Republicans won't commit to in-person town halls. But they will insult their critics.

Mace, R-Charleston, rejected the demands on March 13, taking her frustrations to social media with a 59-second video where she derided the deluge of calls her office has received as coming from "the far-deranged left." "Your little billboard," she said, going on to quote its message from memory before concluding, "That's dangerous. That puts people in harm's way." She continued, "Do you think that makes people feel safe? Do you think your demands — screaming at my employees — do you think that makes anyone feel safe and feel encouraged to attend a town hall? No, it doesn't." "Stop blowing up our lines. Stop being (expletive) and start letting real people get their calls through," Mace said as a phone on her end began to ring. The comments from Mace are especially notable since she is openly weighing a statewide bid for governor next year and previously welcomed questions across the political spectrum. During a January 2023 "Cocktails with your Congresswoman" event, Mace told constituents in Mount Pleasant: "Our doors are always open. I don't care what your political affiliation is. I'm here to serve you."
