She Called Clancy a Serial Killer. The Next Morning She Said She Enjoyed the Fight.
On September 8, 2026, Nancy Mace appeared on the "Shotgun" YouTube channel and called Lindsay Clancy "no different than any other serial killer." She defended the lone holdout juror for conviction, called a mistrial "better than not guilty," and praised defense attorney Kevin Reddington's courtroom theatrics by saying he "deserves an Oscar." The next morning she told Dominique Lucre she had been "going toe to toe with Kevin Reddington" the night before and that she "enjoyed" it.

On September 8, 2026, Rep. Nancy Mace joined the "Shotgun" YouTube channel to discuss the Lindsay Clancy mistrial. In the space of a few minutes she declared Clancy a serial killer, said a mistrial was better than a not-guilty verdict, defended the holdout juror for conviction, and praised the defense attorney's theatrics by saying he deserved an Oscar.
The next morning she told X personality Dominique Lucre she had been "going toe to toe with Kevin Reddington over the Lindsay Clancy case" the night before. "Like," she said, "I enjoy that."
"No Different Than Any Other Serial Killer"
The host opened by noting that defense attorney Kevin Reddington had attacked the lone holdout juror in open court, outing him as one of only three male jurors and placing a target on his back. Mace agreed and escalated:
"There are 11 jurors that sat in that courtroom and listened to this woman's story, knowing she murdered her children and said not guilty. And the lone juror who was holding the line against the other 11 jurors got attacked by the defense."
On the holdout juror's safety:
"This guy's going to have a target on his back when he gets out of that courtroom. And I hope that folks are praying for him tonight and this weekend and his family."
On Reddington's performance in court:
"I don't know how much money he's getting paid, but he's doing a damn good job of it. That guy deserves an Oscar."
The host offered the verdict he would have delivered himself: "If I was on that jury, I would say guilty every single day of the week, twice on Sunday." Mace replied: "Agreed."
On the chance of a retrial:
"A mistrial is better than not guilty by 12 people when a woman murdered her kids."
Then the comparison:
"Every serial killer is crazy. Every serial killer is insane. Every serial killer is mentally ill. I don't think she's any different than any other serial killer."
The Slippery Slope Argument
Mace connected the case to a broader cultural argument, ending with a claim about abortion:
"When you think about what's going on culturally, if you can murder your kids because of your hormones and men can rape women because of hormones, I mean, just the slippery slope we're going down. And it didn't take them long to go from aborting babies at 20 weeks to aborting them right up until birth. And now we can just abort toddlers when they're six."
The same segment produced a second instance of Mace claiming her children are grown:
"I have children that are grown. One day I'll be a grandma."
Court records show her younger child is 17 and in high school.
"I Got My Ass Kicked"
Later in the same recording, during a debate about trans athletes in the WNBA, the host's guest challenged Mace on her 12-percent finish in the South Carolina Republican gubernatorial primary:
Guest: "You ran on trans issues at the forefront of your candidacy for South Carolina governor and you only got 12% of the votes."
Mace: "Governor's race. Yeah. I got my ass kicked and I'm sorry that happened to you, but that's life and I'm loving that."
That is Mace, in her own words, on September 8, the same week she told Dominique Lucre she "does politics well."
The Next Morning
The day after this appearance, in an interview with X personality Dominique Lucre, Mace offered this unprompted:
"Last night, I'm going toe to toe with Kevin Reddington over the Lindsay Clancy case. Like, I enjoy that. I don't want to give that up."
Reddington is the defense attorney she praised for his Oscar-worthy theatrics the night before while arguing for a conviction. She was not defending Clancy. She was arguing for prison.
Full fact-check of the Lucre interview: Mace claimed she "does politics well." The record disagrees on every count.

September 20, 2026 · DispatchJudge Judy on Nancy Mace: It's Ridiculous.
Rep. Nancy Mace told TMZ on September 14 that Lindsay Clancy, a defendant no jury has convicted, deserves a public execution by firearm or electric chair. The next day TMZ put Mace's call to Judith Sheindlin, Judge Judy, on the same sidewalk beat. Sheindlin said there was no question Clancy killed her children and that the only question was whether there was an excuse for it, told the reporter to make up his own mind, and warned of a danger in not retrying the case. Then TMZ asked her about Mace's call for a public execution. Her answer was three words: I think it's ridiculous. This is Maceopedia's record of both TMZ clips, every quote verbatim and attributed.

"This Was Murder" on Her Show. "Public Execution" on TMZ. Same Week.
On Monday September 14, Nancy Mace used her own show to defend the Clancy mistrial holdout juror, decry the doxxing campaign against him, and invoke due-process principle. Four days later she told TMZ that Clancy, never convicted, deserves a public execution by firearm or electric chair. The show clip and the TMZ clip are from the same week.
September 17, 2026 · DispatchAnne Emerson, Crime Podcaster: Nancy Mace is totally out of her depth here.
On September 16, 2026, the Sinclair true-crime panel "Criminally Obsessed" on NBC 10 WJAR reacted to Rep. Nancy Mace's TMZ demand that Lindsay Clancy be publicly executed. Host Anne Emerson said Mace "was never in that courtroom," had "no idea" about the postpartum psychosis at issue, "says things that are pretty outrageous on a regular basis," and was "way out of her depth." This is Maceopedia's record of the panel, every quote verbatim and attributed, with the legal facts Mace left out: Massachusetts has had no death penalty since 1984, Clancy's murder trial ended in a mistrial with an 11-to-1 jury for acquittal by reason of insanity, and she remains held in a state psychiatric hospital, never convicted.
September 24, 2026 · DispatchMace Hits Mehdi Hasan With His Own Deleted "Make American Planes Crash Again" Post on Piers Morgan
During a heated September 17, 2026 Piers Morgan Uncensored debate over radical Islam, Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) turned the tables on journalist Mehdi Hasan by throwing one of his own deleted posts back at him. Mace reminded Hasan that after a fatal U.S. plane crash he had written "Make American Planes Crash Again," calling it "disgusting," "hypocritical," and "a bad joke about Donald Trump crashing planes." Hasan posted the line on February 16, 2025 as a jab at Trump over aviation safety, then deleted it the next day, calling it poorly worded. This is the same on-air clash in which Hasan called Mace "a racist bigot."
September 18, 2026 · Dispatch"You're a Racist Bigot!" Mehdi Hasan Calls Out Nancy Mace to Her Face on Piers Morgan
On September 17, 2026, journalist Mehdi Hasan called Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) "a racist bigot" directly to her face during a heated debate on Piers Morgan Uncensored. Hasan cited Mace's own public record: she tweeted "not all Muslims are terrorists, but all terrorists are Muslim," called for no Muslim American to hold public office, and publicly defended Dasha Kilpatrick, a woman who confronted Muslim shoppers at a Texas grocery store. Mace defended her comments as concern about radical ideology, not Muslims broadly. Hasan argued that her pattern of statements applied to Muslims as a class, making her characterization as a "racist bigot" warranted. The exchange aired live on Piers Morgan Uncensored.
October 7, 2026 · Dispatch'She Should Get the Firing Squad': Nancy Mace Asks the South Carolina Legislature to Write a Death Penalty for One Untried Woman, Then Offers the Firing Squad to Lindsay Clancy
Two minutes into her October 1, 2026 Get Maced episode, Rep. Nancy Mace says she is 'begging the state legislature to make one exception' to South Carolina's death penalty for a Spartanburg County woman who has been charged with attempted murder and has not been tried: 'She should get the firing squad. We have that here.' She then offers the state's firing squad to Lindsay Clancy, a Massachusetts defendant whose trial is pending, and to an unnamed Tennessee defendant. The U.S. Constitution bars a state from passing a bill of attainder or an ex post facto law, so a death penalty written for one named person, after the alleged act, is not something any legislature can enact. Every quote here is verbatim from her own upload, checked against the audio. The woman she names is charged, not convicted. Her children are not named. Maceopedia reaches no conclusion about any defendant and assigns Mace no motive; the words are hers.
