Following the shooting of Charlie Kirk, Representative Nancy Mace immediately asserted that Democrats were responsible, despite the shooter’s identity and motive being unknown. When challenged by a reporter who drew a parallel to violence against Democratic lawmakers, Mace dismissed the comparison and doubled down on her claim. This sparked criticism on social media, with many users accusing Mace of hypocrisy and attempting to politicize the tragedy. The overall reaction condemned her rhetoric and highlighted the issue of political division.

The whole situation surrounding the reaction to Charlie Kirk’s death really highlights the depths of hypocrisy that some politicians, like Nancy Mace, will readily plunge into. It’s almost as if she saw this as an opportunity, a chance to grandstand and further her own agenda before the facts were even known. The sheer speed at which she ran to the cameras, offering up her partisan outrage cosplay, was truly something to behold. It smacked of opportunism, a desire to elevate her profile using someone’s death as a stepping stone.
What’s even more striking is the immediate judgment, the rush to blame “the left,” Democrats, and liberals. They didn’t wait for the evidence; they jumped the gun. This isn’t just about the shooter’s motivations anymore, it’s about painting an entire group with the same broad brush. And, predictably, they fell for every single conspiracy theory that popped up, from the bullet’s supposed markings to unfounded accusations about the shooter’s identity.
Now, when you compare this to other tragedies, like the shooting of the two Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota, the response was starkly different. The left didn’t immediately declare ownership or engage in the same level of incendiary rhetoric. This difference shines a light on the radicalization within certain political circles. And the audacity of Nancy Mace, specifically, is what really gets people talking.
The question that really exposed her, the one asked by NBC’s Capitol Hill correspondent Ryan Nobles, “By that logic, do Republicans own the shooting of the two Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota?” It was simple, direct, and instantly deflated her pre-planned narrative. And the follow-up, “Isn’t this on both sides?” cut right to the heart of the matter.
The response? A display of defensiveness, a refusal to acknowledge the parallels, and a complete lack of introspection. It’s a masterclass in deflection. From the same party that constantly brings up Biden, this is the pot calling the kettle black. How often do they try and “own” other politicians when they are on the wrong side of this equation.
It’s not even “stunning” anymore, is it? It’s become a pattern, a strategy. It’s rules for thee, but not for me. It’s the kind of hypocrisy that seems to be the driving force behind much of their political maneuvering. They know they are hypocrites, they think it makes them special, and they believe the left is too foolish to see it.
This incident also highlights how certain figures try to benefit from tragedy. Mace is an obvious example, she jumped in front of the cameras. It’s all a show. A means of generating buzz, and furthering her own agenda. It’s a stark reminder that for some politicians, power and attention are the ultimate goals.
The only thing that is going to change is the next time this happens they will have more practice at spreading their outrage. Nancy Mace is vile and this is simply her grift. Stir up partisan shit for profit. thats it, Its not complex.
