South Carolina Rep. Nancy Mace is in the headlines for saying former staffers “sabotaged” her.
But one of them isn’t having any of it.
“Two failed marriages, one failed engagement, zero close friends, and 36 staff members gone in less than two terms…maybe the problem is ~\you ~” Natalie Johnson, who worked as Mace’s director of communications for eight months beginning in January 2021, posed to X.
According to the Daily Mail, Mace says former staffers “mismanaged $1 million, hacked her phone, spied on medical records, and even submerged electronic devices in water and deleted files to cover their tracks.”
More from the report: “‘I knew that they were sabotaging the office for a while. I didn’t know to the extent that they were doing it,’ Mace told DailyMail.com in a sit-down interview at her Capitol Hill home, the one at the center of a dispute between her and her ex-fiancé. ‘They were signing my name on documents they didn’t have permission to do - one of them submerged their electronic devices under water so we couldn’t access their files. They deleted files, some of them deleted files off our server, so there’d be no documentation for the new staff that were coming in.’”
Mace’s one-time colleague, former GOP Rep. Adam Kinzinger, also chimed in.
“Let me say this. It maybe possible to have one or two disgruntled staffers, but with this many…. The problem obvious lies in Nancy mace,” he posted to X.
Mace was elected in 2020 and is South Carolina’s first Republican woman elected to Congress.
