Jezebel reader-comment feature on Mace's loss
Jezebel's recurring 'Comment of the Week' feature frames itself as a postmortem on Nancy Mace's political career following her fifth-place finish in the South Carolina Republican gubernatorial primary. The post highlights a reader comment and revisits Mace's anti-transgender resolution targeting Rep. Sarah McBride.

Jezebel's "Comment of the Week" column used Nancy Mace's fifth-place primary finish as the occasion for what it called a "postmortem on Nancy Mace's career in politics." The post notes that Mace placed fifth in the Republican primary with about 12 percent of the vote and is leaving the U.S. House, and it recaps her resolution to bar members and staff from using single-sex facilities other than those corresponding to their "biological sex", a measure widely read as aimed at Rep. Sarah McBride. The site's framing and the featured reader comment are opinion; the characterizations are the outlet's and its commenters'.
"To give a proper postmortem to Nancy Mace's short time in Congress, this week's Comment of the Week will be awarded to kal61678."

Jezebel headlined the piece "Comment of the Week: 'Anyway...'", that wording is the outlet's.

BuzzFeed's June 2026 political-photo roundup placed Nancy Mace in consecutive slots: first for the TRANS MICE Act post that drew a transgenic-mice correction, then for her post-primary beans post after finishing fifth in the South Carolina Republican governor's race. The pairing is useful because it shows how the national internet saw the month: not as isolated posts, but as a fast sequence of spectacle, correction, campaign collapse and meme aftermath.
