Nancy Mace is an attention whore and it's going to cost her. She'll
be turning tricks on OnlyFans for rent money.

As rioters stormed the Capitol on January 6, one GOP member of Congress
had an innovative plan.

Freshman Rep. Nancy Mace, according to reports, wanted to get punched in
the face by an intruder.

The Washington Post reported she wanted to become the "face of anti-Trump Republicans."

According to two reports, as pro-Trump rioters stormed the US Capitol in
an attempt to stop Congress from certifying the presidential election on January 6, freshman GOP Rep. Nancy Mace tried to convince her staff to let
her get attacked.

The Washington Post reports Mace was so incensed at then-President Donald
Trump that she brought up the idea of approaching rioters head-on in the
hopes she would get punched in the face and become the "face of anti-Trump Republicans."

She's since endorsed Trump to become the GOP's next presidential nominee.

Hours after the Post published its piece, The Daily Beast seconded the reporting, noting that three sources who personally witnessed the
conversations confirmed they happened. Those sources told the Beast that
Mace explicitly said she wanted to "get punched in the face" for "media attention."

Asked about the incident by the Washington Post, Mace insulted the
publication. Her office did not respond to Business Insider's request for comment.

Weeks after the January 6 attempted insurrection, Mace and Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez squared off online after the South Carolina
legislator accused Ocasio-Cortez of lying about what happened that day.

During her short time in office, Mace has repeatedly been accused of
making decisions to draw attention from the press. In November 2023, The
Daily Beast reported that she required her staffers to book her on
national television at least one to three times per day.

She's also gone out of her way to draw attention to herself and her
politics with outfit choices. In July 2022, she wore a jacket with "My
State is Banning Exceptions Protect Contraception" on the back to protest
her party's attempts to ban contraception.

More than a year later, as the House struggled to find someone to replace ousted then-Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy, Mace wore a shirt
emblazoned with a "scarlet A."

She later told Business Insider the attention the fashion choice drew
surprised her.

"It got way more than it should have," Mace said.
