'Manic compulsive': Nancy Mace's 'antics' too much even for disgraced George Santos

Disgraced former Rep. George Santos (R-NY) blasted Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) over her erratic behavior and called her "unhinged," The New York Times reported Tuesday.Santos, who has repeatedly lambasted Mace on X, opened up about his thoughts on her on a recent podcast, according to the report.“She’s unhinged. I agree with her fight, I disagree with her antics. Her antics are of somebody who is manic compulsive.”Mace, who was first elected to Congress in 2020 before Republicans redrew South Carolina's congressional map to lock down her seat, has inserted herself into several high-profile controversies in Congress, including being part of the renegade group of Republicans who voted to oust Kevin McCarthy from the speakership last year. She has been described by her staff as "a joke" and someone who adopts beliefs and causes on a whim to get attention. Some people who used to work for her have said she even set a "quota" of time she should be on TV and demanded her staff make it happen.ALSO READ: We're watching the largest and most dangerous 'cult' in American historyMost recently, Mace has famously launched tirades against transgender people, including proposing legislation targeted at preventing Rep.-elect Sarah McBride (D-DE), the first openly transgender representative in Congress' history, from using women's rooms in the Capitol complex. This is despite the fact Mace called herself "pro-transgender rights" as recently as last year.Earlier this month, Mace proclaimed she was "physically accosted" at the Capitol by a transgender youth advocate, causing injury to her arm, which prompted the advocate's arrest by Capitol Police. Witnesses dispute her account of the incident, saying he simply shook her hand.Santos' brief stint in Congress was derailed almost instantly after being elected, following revelations that he fabricated almost everything in his candidate biography on the campaign trail. This snowballed into a criminal investigation into his improper use of campaign funding and allegations of defrauding donors, and ultimately to his bipartisan expulsion from Congress.In yet another twist of irony, Mace called on Santos to resign when the allegations emerged but then voted against expelling him and claimed it was all a plot to shift the balance of power in the House.

Virginia Man Dies After Bear Falls on Him While Hunting

Anadolu / Anadolu via Getty ImagesA Virginia man died in a bizarre hunting accident when the bear his partner shot careened out of a tree and fell onto his head, state officials announced this week. The hunting group was following the bear when it ran up the tree, the state’s Department of Wildlife Resources said in a statement. One hunter shot the bear while the group retreated away—causing it to fall off its perch and crush another hunter, Lester C Harvey. THe 58-year-old was at least 10 feet away from the tree when the incident occurred, the department said. A member of the group administered first aid on Harvey before he was transported to the hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries last Friday. The hunting excursion took place 70 miles south of Richmond. Harvey was a contractor, as well as a married father of five with eight grandchildren. His online obituary said he was a “friend to all” and an “avid outdoorsman.” Read it at The GuardianRead more at The Daily Beast.
