Mace wears red letter ‘A’ after McCarthy vote
Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) donned a red “A” on her shirt on Tuesday after her vote to oust former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) left her feeling “demonized” on Capitol Hill, she said.
“I’m wearing the ‘scarlet letter’ after the week that I just had, last week, being a woman up here and being demonized for my vote and for my voice,” Mace told reporters, apparently referencing the 19th century novel in which the protagonist was condemned to wear a red “A” – or a “scarlet letter” – after becoming pregnant out of wedlock.
“I’m here to let the rest of the world know and the country know: I’m on the side of the people. I’m not on the side of the establishment,” Mace continued. “And I’m going to do the right thing every single time no matter the consequences because I don’t answer to anybody in DC. I don’t answer to anyone in Washington. I only answer to the people.”
Mace has faced fierce criticism following her decision to oust McCarthy from the Speakership – the first time in history the House has voted to remove its leader.
So that's supposed to be a small A that gets pinned on your upper chest...
She's wearing a shirt like Alvin from the chipmunks....
Gaetz comes out rocking the turtleneck Theodore sweater and they stare uncomfortably at each other for a long while
Stares into the CSPAN camera: “Not another squeakquel”
She only knows it from the snl skit. Originally she was gonna use the scarlet BJ but her handlers got her to change it.
And the way it is, at least in this picture, it looks like a traingle anyways.
I can't even find the image in the link, only the thumbnail here. Where did the thumb come from?
Don't ask me, I just work here.
Ah... the Red Triangle gang.
You made my day with that comment! :'D
if she'd actually read the book she'd know that hester was made to wear it she didn't choose to wear it and the republicans, whom she is a part of, are the puritans who forced her to wear it
That requires reading, which they proudly declare they don't do.
Yeah but she probably only saw easy a where she opted to sew it onto her clothes.
What a fucking tool. If she was “on the side of people” she wouldn’t be a republican
she's also trying to play herself off as a moderate despite being someone who has peddled the most qanon of qanon conspiracy theories.
So she's for women's rights? I wonder who she voted for president? She's either a hypocrite or very stupid or both.
"I'll take 'Republican Voters Who Aren't Rich, White, or Male' for $600, Alex."
The "A" is for "Attention Whore".
EDIT: Get fucked @__, you bootlicker.
Are all Republican politicians stunt queens?
Long answer: yes.
You just had to type in 'Y'

Short answer: No, with a 'but'.
"This vote between two other people is all about me!"
Is she upset that women still have rights?
As is typical they miss the point of the source material.
But if it make her feel better I agreed with my Republican rep's vote against McCarthy and still left him a shitty insult layden voicemail telling him he should vote for a Dem.
I wonder what the "issues including women’s rights" actually are supposed to be?
That's it. That's as detailed as she's going to get.
If you don't want to be demonized, stop acting like a demon.
I’m sure Nathanial Hawthorne would be very proud of you for being so brave /s
I'm pretty sure he would punch her. Dude gave absolutely zero fucks.
Oof oww my persecution complex
Why not a hair shirt? Why not a scurge so she can self-flagulate?
Aww, poor baby.
