Mace on threats after Kirk shooting: 'The hate pouring in from Democrats is vile, evil, and unhinged'

On September 12, 2025, after Mace's office received threats in response to her claims about Kirk's shooter, she issued a statement attributing all threats to Democrats while framing her own false claims about the shooter's identity as protected speech.

On September 12, 2025, after her office received threats following her statements blaming Democrats and transgender people for Kirk's assassination, Mace issued this statement:

"The hate pouring into our office from Democrats is vile, evil, and unhinged. Every threat is being recorded, every threat is being reported, and no amount of rage from the left will silence us."

The statement attributed the threats entirely to Democrats rather than acknowledging Mace's own unsubstantiated claims about the shooter's identity.
