Nancy Mace, on Piers Morgan: 'I don't believe there's been genocide in Gaza'

On the September 1, 2026 Piers Morgan Uncensored panel, Rep. Nancy Mace was pressed repeatedly by a fellow panelist to call the war in Gaza a genocide and refused, saying, 'I don't believe there's been genocide in Gaza.' She defended Israel without qualification ('I think Israel is protecting Jews as they should. I support Israel'), rejected a two-state solution ('This has been Israel's land'), and, asked to condemn the killing of civilian children in Gaza, pivoted instead. A panelist confronted her over pro-Israel PAC money, calling her 'bought and paid for.'

On the September 1, 2026 edition of Piers Morgan Uncensored, Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) was pressed, over and over, by a fellow panelist to call the war in Gaza a genocide. She would not.

"I don't believe there's been genocide in Gaza," Mace said, after being asked the question directly more than once. It is the clearest statement of her position on the war to date, delivered live, under sustained pressure, and it came bundled with an on-air fight over how much money pro-Israel groups have given her campaigns.

Piers Morgan Uncensored, September 1, 2026, "'It Was BRUTALITY' Milo Yiannopoulos Deported - Exclusive | Nancy Mace CONFRONTED Over AIPAC & Gaza." The Mace panel begins near the 39-minute mark; the Gaza confrontation runs from roughly 43:00 to 46:15.

How it happened

The panel, which included Mace, The Young Turks host and executive producer Ana Kasparian, and two other conservative commentators, had spent the previous segment reacting to Milo Yiannopoulos's account of being deported. It turned, without much warning, into a referendum on Nancy Mace and Israel.

A fellow panelist put it to her directly: she wanted Mace "to come out and talk about the genocide that is happening in Gaza," said Mace had "taken over $100,000 from AIPAC" over her career, and challenged her to "call it a genocide right here, right now."

Mace did not. What followed, in her own words:

  • "I support Jews. There is only one Jewish state in the world, and they are under attack."
  • Asked whether she supported a Palestinian right to exist or "just" Israel: "I do not support a two-state solution. I mean, this has been Israel's land."
  • Pressed to "condemn the genocide in Gaza," she answered: "I condemn genocide everywhere. Will you condemn the genocide of Christians?", turning the question toward what she called the genocide of Christians.
  • Asked flatly whether she was "willing to condemn killing 20,000 innocent children in Gaza," Mace did not answer the question. She turned it back on her accuser, invoking the Lindsay Clancy child-murder case the panel had been sent to discuss.
  • Asked to "condemn Israel's genocide in Gaza," she said: "I don't believe there's been genocide in Gaza."

Moderator Piers Morgan then asked her his own version of the question: did she condemn "anything that Israel's been doing in Gaza?" Mace's answer: "I don't condemn. I think Israel is protecting Jews as they should. I support Israel." She added that when war with Iran broke out, "you know where I went? I went to Israel to rescue America." She was referring to the evacuation missions she has publicized before.

The money question

The confrontation kept returning to campaign money. A panelist told Mace she had taken "over $100,000 from AIPAC," then put the figure at "about $138,000," and said she was "bought and paid for," "a slave to the system," telling her she should "move there." Mace rejected the framing and said the difference between them was that she was "willing to say" she supports Israel.

The dollar figures the panelist threw out are worth pinning down, because the public record is more specific than a shouting match allows. Per the Federal Election Commission's own itemized filings, AIPAC's registered PAC has given Mace's campaign $68,905 over her career (a mix of the PAC's direct contributions and donations it bundled and delivered from affiliated donors). Counted more broadly, across the cluster of pro-Israel PACs that track together (AIPAC plus NORPAC, RJC, AMP and U.S. Israel PAC), the AIPAC-tracking project TrackAIPAC puts her career total at roughly $108,000. Neither the "$138,000" figure nor, read as AIPAC alone, the "$100,000" figure matches the documented record; the sourced numbers are $68,905 from AIPAC's PAC and about $108,000 across the wider pro-Israel bloc.

Kasparian returned to Mace later in the show, tying the Gaza exchange to the panel's discussion of a mother on trial for killing her children: a culture rots, she argued, "when you have a government that consistently justifies the mass slaughter of children abroad, as Congresswoman Nancy Mace just did." The episode ended on the same note, with a panelist telling Mace to "start criticizing the Israeli government and their genocide in Gaza."

For the record

Every quotation above is verbatim from the broadcast. Mace's position, stated in her own words, is that she does not believe a genocide has occurred in Gaza, that she supports Israel without condition, that she rejects a two-state solution, and that she declined, when asked directly, to condemn the killing of civilian children there. The "bought and paid for" and "slave" characterizations are her fellow panelists' words, not ours. The on-air "$138,000" figure is a panelist's claim and is not borne out by the filings; the documented numbers, sourced to the FEC and to FEC-based tracking, are $68,905 from AIPAC's own PAC and roughly $108,000 across the broader pro-Israel PAC bloc, as noted above.

The clips

A landscape supercut of the broadcast: the panelist's opening AIPAC and genocide demand, the "you're a slave to the system" accusation, the genocide-refusal exchange ("I don't believe there's been genocide in Gaza... you're bought and paid for"), and Piers Morgan's direct question with Mace's "protecting Jews" answer. An on-screen fact check corrects the on-air "$138,000" AIPAC figure against FEC filings. Every quoted line is verbatim from the broadcast.

A vertical short of the key moments: the AIPAC dollar-figure setup, the genocide-refusal exchange, and Piers Morgan's question with Mace's "protecting Jews" answer, with the same fact-check overlay.
