She is only saying this in the House because of debate immunity.
Challenge her to repeat those statements outside the chamber, and she will clam up because then she won’t be protected against slander claims.

This psycho has lied and flip flopped so many times now that you don't even know she's telling the truth which is sad and horrible at the same time because you're supposed to believe women when they say stuff like this.
I believe her. It doesn't change my extremely negative opinion of her, her positions, or her actions by even a single iota; but I believe her. Until proven otherwise.
The State Law Enforcement Division, South Carolina’s state police agency, said in a statement that its agents had opened an investigation into Bryant in December 2023 on allegations of “assault, harassment, and voyeurism.” Noting that investigation remained active and would be sent to a prosecutor for review once completed, the agency said it had “conducted multiple interviews, served multiple search warrants, and has a well-documented case file that will be available for release upon the conclusion of the case.”
Mace's yapping about it on the House floor is surely not impeding or influencing that ongoing investigation.
Yeah I'm not believing shit that comes out of this person's mouth. Platforming her does more damage to women than ignoring this one proven liar's words.
If an elected Republican has a problem, they can figure it out themselves. That's what they've told us they want for the world. I would take absolutely no action to help these people if they were in need. Fuck em.
I am willing to believe her that it happened to her and I'm sorry about that.
I am not willing to believe that she would not be okay with it happening to other people considering she supports a rapist president.
she's a republican. unless she's reading out of the encyclopædia britannica, verbatim... she's lying.
wait. who am i kidding. that's way above their reading level.
She is a MAGA Republican and not that she or anyone else deserves this to happen to them, but she would absolutely suggest that other women deserved it.
She's a shit person but nobody deserves to be assaulted or raped, and allegedly there were other women and girls harmed. So a full investigation is warranted. If it's found to be true, does the pain she's experienced excuse the bitterness and hate she's expressed towards trans people? Not in the slightest. Is airing it on the House floor an appropriate use of her privilege? It's better than anything else she's done there, (a low bar) and helps delay the progress of House Republicans rubber-stamping Trump's blitzkrieg, so there's that.
After going through that the fact that she supports erasing trans people is a pretty classic example of conservatives lacking empathy.
I am genuinely sorry she experienced that and I hope she can get the psych support any person in her situation would need.
And I genuinely hope she fucks off from politics because unless she does an ideological 180 she's still a trash person with hate in her heart.
If abusing women and girls, revenge porn, and date-rape are issues in South Carolina politics, this is an unqualified good thing. Sexual control of women in the household has been a core issue for reactionaries as long as there have been reactionaries. Before 1980, it was legal in all 50 to rape your wife. Diversity is strength. Even in MAGA.
