Mace targets Celeste Keaton with anti-LGBTQ slur on X

On July 31, 2026, from her personal X account, Rep. Nancy Mace posted a photo of a named individual, Celeste Keaton, and wrote 'She looks like a dyke,' using an anti-LGBTQ slur that runs against X's own hateful-conduct policy. Maceopedia documents the post as part of Mace's public language record. Maceopedia has not independently verified, and does not repeat as fact, the separate allegation Mace attached about the individual.

Mace targets Celeste Keaton with anti-LGBTQ slur on X

On July 31, 2026, Rep. Nancy Mace posted from her personal X account (@NancyMace) a photo of a named individual, Celeste Keaton, alongside a caption that ended with an anti-LGBTQ slur. The post drew roughly 14,800 likes and remained public.

The post is reproduced below. The screenshot preserves Mace's handle, the timestamp, and her verbatim text; the attached photo, which shows a person who appears to be a private individual, is blurred by Maceopedia to avoid amplifying her likeness. The embed links to the live original.

"Here is Celeste Keaton, who purportedly cursed out two underage girls, for sticking up for you guessed it - girls. She looks like a dyke."

The word Mace used to close the post is a slur directed at sexual orientation. The characterization Mace attached about the named individual, that the person "purportedly cursed out two underage girls," is Mace's own claim, hedged in her own post with the word "purportedly." Maceopedia has not independently verified that allegation, does not assert it, and does not repeat it as fact. Maceopedia makes no claim of its own about Celeste Keaton.

Why it matters

Maceopedia catalogs Nancy Mace's public statements in her own words. This post belongs to a documented pattern of a sitting member of Congress using slurs and derogatory language about LGBTQ people on social media, alongside her March 2025 "Estrogen doesn't love you" reply to a transgender person and her December 2024 "if that word is a slur then cis should be too" post defending an earlier slur.

The term Mace posted is widely recognized as an anti-LGBTQ slur. X's own Hateful Conduct policy prohibits targeting people with slurs and tropes intended to degrade them on the basis of a protected category, including sexual orientation and gender identity. The post was made from Mace's personal account, names a specific individual who appears to be a private person, and pairs the slur with an unverified accusation. Readers can see the post in her own words and judge it for themselves.

    "60,000 Muslims Invade Spain" on Mace's official House account, then a no-comment repost of a meme naming Omar and Tlaib

    Between July 31 and August 4, 2026, Rep. Nancy Mace posted about Muslims across both of her X accounts. On August 4, on her personal account @NancyMace, she reposted, with no caption of her own, a meme from the account @RagingAmericans reading 'Radical Islam will destroy this country just like it's destroyed every other country it's touched if we don't put a stop to it!!' laid over a photo collage that includes Reps. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, two sitting Muslim members of Congress. Four days earlier, on July 31, she used her official, taxpayer-funded congressional account @RepNancyMace to post an office-produced graphic carrying the U.S. House seal and headlined '60,000 MUSLIMS INVADE SPAIN,' with her own text describing 'around 60,000 Muslim "migrants" from Morocco' as 'criminals' whose 'culture is incompatible with Western civilization.' This dispatch reproduces both posts, distinguishes the words Mace wrote herself from the meme she amplified without comment, and links the July 27 post that anchors the pattern.

    Mace's Halloween Post: 'I'm Going To Dress Up As A Liberal White Woman'

    On the morning of September 1, 2026, Rep. Nancy Mace posted from her personal verified X account: 'For halloween this year, I'm going to dress up as a liberal white woman.' The line ran over a staged image of a figure draped head to toe in black, face fully covered, a gloved hand on a podcast microphone before the lit Capitol. It is not a one-off. It is the capstone of a documented month-long run of 'liberal white woman' material from Mace: a 'Get Maced' episode titled 'THE ENEMY WITHIN,' a Daily Wire op-ed under her byline calling liberal white women a 'national security threat,' and Facebook teasers. This dispatch shows the post and lays out the record; readers can judge it for themselves.

    'I Really Want Her to Get the Death Penalty, and I'd Prefer It to Be Public': On Thursday Night's 'Get Maced,' Nancy Mace Turned the Lindsay Clancy Trial Into an On-Air Call for a Televised Execution, With the Jury Still Out

    On her Thursday, August 27, 2026 'Get Maced' live stream, Nancy Mace devoted a segment she titled 'the face of evil' to the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, the Massachusetts mother whose jury had just begun deliberating. Mace told her viewers, 'I really want Lindsay Clancy to get the death penalty, and I'd prefer it to be public,' having acknowledged in the same breath that Massachusetts has no death penalty, where the maximum sentence is life without parole and no verdict had been reached. She also disclosed her own postpartum experience to draw a line against Clancy ('the only difference is I didn't murder my children'), mocked the defense attorney's closing ('I don't know any darn good moms who murder all three of their children'), and built the rest of the hour around a thesis about the gap between who people claim to be and who they are: Hillary Clinton in the Hamptons, Michigan Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed and his physician title, and a closing tribute to Dolly Parton. This is Maceopedia's review of the broadcast, every quote verbatim from her own stream.

    Amateur Hour: Nancy Mace's First 'Get Maced' Live Stream Was Muted at the Open, Out of Focus in the Middle, and Watched Live by Fewer Than 1,000 People

    On the night of the August 25, 2026 South Carolina runoff for the late Lindsey Graham's Senate seat, Nancy Mace went live on her personal @NancyRMace YouTube channel for the first time ever: a 45-minute, one-camera runoff-watch show she opened by admitting the microphone had been muted the whole time she'd been talking, narrated her own camera going out of focus, and paused near the 40-minute mark to go get a glass of water. Fewer than 1,000 people watched it live. The content whiplashed too: she spent the front half prosecuting the appointment of Graham's sister Darlene ('It's not an heirloom... it could be Donald Duck, it could be Mickey Mouse') and the back half, once Darlene won and Mace's own pick Ralph Norman lost, congratulating 'Senator Graham' and pledging to help her. Her staff prompted her on air to remind viewers to subscribe. This is Maceopedia's television-critic review of the broadcast, with the full edit of the night's quotes and snafus.

    Nancy Mace Puts 'Get Maced' on a Clock: A Fixed Nightly Show, 8PM Monday Through Thursday

    For most of 2026, Nancy Mace's 'Get Maced' videos dropped whenever the news did: near-daily, but on no fixed day and at no fixed hour, a loose feed of studio monologues tied to whatever fight she was picking that afternoon. As of August 25, 2026, that is over. Her personal YouTube channel, @NancyRMace, now carries a schedule banner reading 'GET MACED, 8PM, MONDAY - THURSDAY,' and the channel's own description bills the operation as 'the nightly show Washington wishes you'd skip,' with 'New episodes Monday through Thursday night at 8PM ET,' promising 'a cold open, the day's biggest stories, and a close cable news won't give you... Done in 30 minutes or less.' The channel is now verified and has roughly 45,700 subscribers, up from about 22,300 two weeks ago. The move converts a scattershot upload habit into appointment television, a named time slot four nights a week, and it is the most formal commitment yet to the media brand a current staffer told Maceopedia she is building to 'pay the bills' after she leaves Congress in January 2027.
