"Once I get my teeth stuck in you" -> "endorse Alan Wilson for governor": Mace's flip on Alan Wilson

A real-footage then-vs-now supercut: Nancy Mace's June 9, 2026 endorsement of Attorney General Alan Wilson (C-SPAN) cut against her own March 4, 2025 House floor speech, where she vowed to make sure 'every South Carolinian knows your name forever' and that 'once I get my teeth stuck in you, I am not letting go.' Wilson rejected her attacks; nothing here is a finding about either man.

On June 9, 2026, after finishing fifth in the South Carolina Republican gubernatorial primary, Nancy Mace conceded and endorsed Attorney General Alan Wilson, the rival she had spent the campaign attacking. This supercut cuts her June 9 endorsement (C-SPAN) against her own March 4, 2025 House floor speech, where she went after Wilson by name:

  1. Mar 4, 2025 (House floor), "My attorney general, Alan Wilson... I'm going to make sure every South Carolinian knows your name forever."
  2. June 9, 2026 (C-SPAN), "I'm going to endorse Alan Wilson for governor."
  3. Mar 4, 2025 (House floor), "Attorney General Alan Wilson, I hope you have your number two pencil out."
  4. June 9, 2026 (C-SPAN), "I want a law-and-order governor, and that law-and-order governor is going to be Alan Wilson."
  5. Mar 4, 2025 (House floor), "I hope that pencil is sharpened, because once I get my teeth stuck in you, I am not letting go."
  6. June 9, 2026 (C-SPAN), "I accept Alan Wilson's offer... to help his administration ensure that predators that got away in my case" are held accountable.

Her March 4, 2025 floor speech (her own channel):

Her June 9, 2026 endorsement (C-SPAN):

Wilson has rejected Mace's attacks throughout: his office said she had "drastically mischaracterized" the prosecution data she cited, and he called her airport accusations "a categorical lie." Mace's characterizations of Wilson are disputed; nothing here is a finding about either man's conduct, and the reconciliation is described only as the two principals have framed it publicly.
