Nancy Mace calls every Muslim holding public office a 'trojan horse'

MEAWW covered two August 7, 2026 posts from Rep. Nancy Mace's official X account, one saying every Muslim holding public office in America is a 'trojan horse' and another saying New York City is being 'overrun' by people who want to see the country burn. The entry reproduces the posts as primary-source artifacts and links the original X posts.

Reported by Ishan Jain at MEAWW, the piece catalogs two August 7, 2026 posts from Rep. Nancy Mace's official X account, @RepNancyMace. MEAWW wrote that Mace had claimed New York City was being "overrun" and had called every Muslim public officeholder in America a "trojan horse."

Mace's first post said:

"Every single Muslim holding public office in America is a trojan horse, and a threat to both national security and our republic.

We refuse to be silent."

Later the same evening, Mace posted:

"Not even 25 years after Muslim terrorists flew planes into the Twin Towers, New York City is being overrun by the very people who want to see this country burn.

This is an invasion. There is no other way to put it.

Every American who watched this country get attacked on its own soil and said "never again" deserved better than this."

The article places the posts in the context of Mace's recent Muslim-focused messaging, including her past clashes with Reps. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, her Muslim Brotherhood legislation, and her post-primary political position after the South Carolina governor race. MEAWW's framing and any broader characterizations belong to MEAWW; the primary artifacts here are Mace's own dated public posts.

Raw Story: Mace embraces the 'Islamaphobe' label while doubling down on Muslim posts

Raw Story covered Rep. Nancy Mace's August 9, 2026 escalation of her anti-Muslim posts. After critics condemned her August 7 claim that every Muslim public officeholder is a 'trojan horse,' Mace quote-tweeted Rep. Pramila Jayapal's criticism and doubled down on her personal @NancyMace account, writing that she did not want to be 'stabbed or blown up by a suicide bomber' or 'hear the call to prayer five times a day' and signing off 'Total Islamaphobe here' (her spelling). Raw Story reported the original trojan-horse post drew more than 7.6 million views.

Mace calls every Muslim officeholder a 'trojan horse,' then declares: 'Total Islamaphobe here'

On August 7, 2026, Rep. Nancy Mace wrote that every Muslim holding public office in America is a 'trojan horse' and a threat to national security and the republic. The next day, the satire account The Babylon Bibi posted an altered image replacing Muslims with Jews and adding a fake headline saying Mace had been removed from office. MEAWW fact-checked the removal claim as false, but the satire exposed the point: the same attack became instantly recognizable as bigotry when the targeted religious minority was changed. As criticism mounted, Mace doubled down, quote-tweeting a critic and signing off 'Total Islamaphobe here' (her spelling).

"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.
