A newly tattooed Rep. Nancy Mace, the firebrand Republican from South Carolina who is leaving Congress, is promoting a new “Get Maced” program, which she apparently will use to address news of the day.
She unveiled the inkings, which she said she got to provide “the pain that I need to feel.”
Trauma and PTSD are very real.
This is just a very unfortunate way to deal with it. https://t.co/sU5BqusTH3

A report at the New Yort Post said she reported getting nine tattoos in rapid succession to “mark the exodus of staffers from her office who badmouthed her to the press and the breakup with her fiancé.”
Mace, 48, said it was a way to “reclaim” her identity and body, the report said.
“So my story is I am totally broken,” she earlier explained to Politico. “I have PTSD over what I’ve been through.”
But she kept her artwork almost entirely covered up, until now.
She had decided to give up her congressional seat in order the enter the race for governor in her state, but lost her GOP primary after she opposed President Donald Trump and helped release the Jeffrey Epstein files.
The Post documented, “The outgoing congresswoman explained that she dealt with alleged rape and sexual molestation throughout her life, while lamenting the tough relationship she had with her father.”
The report said, “The online peanut gallery was stunned when photos of Mace’s tattoo-covered arms took social media by storm.”
A report by the Gateway Pundit explained “Get Maced” is a political and current-affairs program.
“Her new show features Mace wearing sleeveless outfits that reveal much of the artwork, which includes the word ‘Justice,’ a lion, a large bird and several other designs,” the report said.
She’s known for controversy, including suggesting deportations of Muslims from America as well as a ban on Islamic immigration.
She has said, “It’s time to choose freedom or choose Islam, and I’m gonna choose America first or America is finished.”
She said, “The Biden-Harris administration told us the border was secure while the numbers told us we were being colonized. You can’t bring in hundreds of thousands of radical Islamic people from these radical Islamic cultures and expect your suburban cul-de-sac to stay the same — if you import the Third World, eventually you become the Third World.”

Watch this Imam, in Alabama of all places, say ‘…Muslims must be ready to sacrifice their lives through jihad in order to establish ‘the religion of Allah’ in the United States…’
Islam must be confronted and Islam must be removed from civil society in the US.…
