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.
