“Today, I’m going scorched earth”, twelve moments from Mace’s 52-minute floor speech

On February 10, 2025, Rep. Nancy Mace took the U.S. House floor and announced she was "going scorched earth." What followed was a 52-minute speech in which she named four men by full name, described videos she said she found on her then-fiancé's phone, alleged a 2022 incident in which she blacked out after two vodka sodas and concluded she was raped, and asked questions she said she could not answer.

This supercut draws twelve verbatim moments from that speech, each cut from Mace's own official YouTube upload of the floor session and captioned word-for-word from the audio:

1. Her opening. "Today, I'm going scorched earth."
2. Handcuffs. She told the chamber she had been warned she could be arrested for coming forward, and held up handcuffs.
3. Before the names. "Their names will be tied to their crimes and their cowardice, forever."
4. The roll call. She named four men, Eric Bowman, Patrick Bryant (also goes by Brendan Patrick Bryant), Brian Musgrave, and John Osborne, in alphabetical order. The men deny Mace's allegations, none has been charged, and the related civil litigation remains ongoing with no court ruling on the merits.
5. One-way ticket. Addressing all four: "You have bought yourself a one-way ticket to hell. Non-stop. There are no connections."
6. Hidden camera. She described recognizing herself in what she said was a video on Bryant's phone: "I heard my voice. I zoomed in on the video. That woman was me."
7. 10,633 videos. She claimed an app on one device held what she described as 10,633 recordings.
8. John Osborne. Mace claimed, without evidence presented to a court, that video she said was on Bryant's phone showed John Osborne assaulting a woman at Eric Bowman's home while Bryant and Bowman filmed. This is an unproven allegation; the named men deny it and no court has ruled on the claim.
9. Two vodka sodas. Describing a 2022 night at what she said was a property associated with Bryant and Musgrave on Isle of Palms, Mace said: "I was served two small vodka sodas. A short time later, I blacked out."
10. Her conclusion. Immediately following: "I was raped that night. Was it Patrick Bryant? I don't know. But I was raped. Was it filmed? Was it sold on the dark web? I have no idea." By her own words Mace did not identify who she says assaulted her. No charges have been filed and no court has found that any named man was involved; the named men deny her allegations.
11. Not an allegation. "None of this is conjecture. These are not allegations. These are facts."
12. The aftermath. She disclosed a PTSD diagnosis, vertigo from nightmares, and lingering physical effects.

The allegations Mace makes in this speech are unproven and contested; the named men deny them; the related civil litigation is ongoing and no court has ruled on the merits. What the footage documents is a sitting congresswoman's own words, under no oath, from the U.S. House floor.
