The 'PREDATORS' House-floor speech (Feb. 10, 2025)

On February 10, 2025, Rep. Nancy Mace delivered a roughly 53-minute speech on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives in which she made a series of allegations against named men and announced her intent to expose them publicly. The speech was broadcast live on C-SPAN.

Mace opened:

"Mr. Speaker I rise today ready to call out the cowards who think they can prey on women and get away with it. Today I'm going scorched earth. So, let the bridges I burn light our way forward."

Later in the speech:

"I will burn this system to the ground if I have to. These men aren't just criminals, they're predators. These predators are not untouchable. These predators are not invisible. These predators are not invincible."

She also alluded to a tip line for women to report additional information.

The following day, February 11, 2025, Mace posted on X in response to a denial by one of the named men:

"I cannot unsee what you did to this young woman in a rape tape I uncovered on Patrick Bryant's phone."

The speech and the social-media posts were covered by national outlets including 19th News, The Wrap, and People magazine.

Mace did not put the poster away when the speech ended. The board she held up, the four men's photos, names, and home towns under "PREDATORS / STAY AWAY FROM", became a fixture she mounted in the public hallway outside her congressional office, pushed to her official social-media accounts, and revived for months afterward. See The "PREDATORS" poster outside her office.

The office tip line

In the floor speech and afterward, Mace said her congressional office was operating a tip line for people who believed they had been victimized. She later described it as still running; in her surveillance-related oversight remarks she said:

"My office has a tip line that remains active for those who believe they may have been recorded, assaulted, or otherwise victimized."

Reports submitted to this tip line go to Rep. Mace's congressional office. For context, a congressional office is not a law-enforcement agency, a prosecutor, or a licensed victim-services provider, and it does not have the authority to investigate crimes, file charges, or provide clinical counseling. The established channels for reporting a sexual assault or a non-consensual recording, or for crisis support, include local law enforcement, the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED), and victim-support hotlines such as RAINN's National Sexual Assault Hotline (1-800-656-HOPE). This entry documents what Mace stated about the tip line and where it directs reports; it does not characterize her purpose in operating it. See also the surveillance oversight hearing.

All individuals named by Mace in the floor speech and subsequent posts deny the allegations. No criminal charges have been filed. The matters are the subject of ongoing civil litigation. Allegations referenced here are contested; named parties deny them and related litigation is ongoing.
