At the Washington Press Club Foundation's 77th Annual Congressional Dinner on February 8, 2023, Mace delivered this line to the bipartisan crowd:
"Recently, there's been a lot of talk about antisemitism. But since Marjorie Taylor Greene started behaving, the rate of Jewish space laser attacks is now zero."
The joke mocked Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's 2018 Facebook posts suggesting California wildfires were started by a "Jewish space laser" and was seen as a rare moment in which a Republican colleague openly lampooned Greene's antisemitic conspiracy theories.
