June 16, 2026 · DispatchCourt appoints former Judge Kristi Harrington as third-party neutral to sort the 11,000+ disputed files in Mace's Google Drive
On June 16, 2026, Judge Donald B. Hocker appointed Kristi Harrington, a Charleston attorney and former South Carolina Circuit Court judge, to serve as a 'third-party neutral' in Assignment Desk Works, LLC v. Alexis Berg (Charleston County Court of Common Pleas, No. 2025-CP-10-2671), one of the cluster of cases tied to Rep. Nancy Mace and her former fiance, Patrick Bryant. Harrington's task is to review the more than 11,000 electronic files in what the court calls 'Mace's Google Drive,' files that both Mace and Bryant claim to own, and decide which, if any, must be turned over in discovery. The court split her fees between the two camps, warned the volume could make the process 'very cost-prohibitive,' and entered the order over Mace's objection. The order makes no finding on privilege, admissibility, ownership, or wrongdoing; the underlying allegations remain contested and unproven.

‘Welcome back, Nancy Mace’: after a fifth-place primary loss, a viral Waffle House meme sends the self-described former waitress back to the marquee
After Rep. Nancy Mace finished fifth in the June 2026 South Carolina Republican gubernatorial primary, a meme spread online showing a Waffle House marquee reading ‘WELCOME BACK NANCY MACE!’ The joke lands on Mace's own oft-repeated biography, ‘high school dropout turned Waffle House waitress’, which she has invoked for years, from celebrating her 2020 congressional win at the Waffle House where she once worked to donning a paper Waffle House cap during her 2026 governor bid. The sign is a digital meme, not a real marquee.
June 10, 2026 · Dispatch‘You tanked yourself’: in a viral Facebook reel captioned ‘Called it,’ Michelle Shara narrates Mace's fall from ‘leading the race’ to ‘bringing up the rear’
A Facebook reel by Michelle Shara, viewed more than 358,000 times, pairs footage of Nancy Mace addressing a Greenville County Republican Party meeting with Shara's own deadpan voiceover. Over the clip, Shara needles Mace about collapsing from an early front-runner to a fifth-place finish in the June 9, 2026 South Carolina GOP gubernatorial primary: ‘last time we saw each other, you were leading the race. How have you managed to tank your campaign so badly that you were just bringing up the rear?’ The one-word caption, ‘Called it,’ frames it as a prediction come true. The harsh lines are Shara's commentary, not Mace's words.
June 10, 2026 · DispatchAfter Mace finishes fifth in the governor's primary, a circulating post-election essay calls her collapse 'years in the making', Mace blames her Epstein-files vote
A post-election essay by writer Mike Broemmel, circulating on Facebook, frames Nancy Mace's fifth-place finish in the June 9, 2026 South Carolina Republican gubernatorial primary as the cumulative result of years of staff turnover, feuds and controversy, 'the cumulative effect of chaos.' Mace finished last among the major candidates with about 11 percent and did not advance to the June 23 runoff between Pamela Evette and Alan Wilson. Mace has denied the kinds of former-staff accounts the essay recycles and attributes her defeat to her vote to release the Epstein files.
