Home vandalism (Memorial Day 2021)

In the early hours of Memorial Day, May 31, 2021, Rep. Mace's Charleston home was spray-painted with graffiti including Antifa symbols and profanity. Charleston police released a suspect photo in June 2021; no arrest was publicly confirmed.

In the early morning hours of Memorial Day, May 31, 2021, the exterior of Rep. Nancy Mace's home in Charleston, South Carolina, where she resided with her two children, was vandalized with black spray paint. Graffiti included the phrases "pass the pro act," "all politicians are bastards," and "F*ck you Nancy," along with three symbols associated with the Antifa movement, painted on the house, front steps, sidewalk, and street in front of the property.

Mace discovered the vandalism that morning and called it "a complete violation of one's privacy." She issued a statement through her congressional office saying the threats would not "intimidate" her. U.S. Capitol Police stated they were "aware and investigating" the incident. The incident drew bipartisan condemnation from other members of Congress.

In June 2021, the Charleston Police Department released a photograph of an individual suspected of vandalizing Mace's home, noting similarities to separate vandalism at Bishop England High School that they believed was carried out by the same person. No public arrest record confirming a charge in connection with Mace's home was reported by local media at the time of the suspect photograph's release.
