National Review post-mortem on Mace's primary loss
Matthew X. Wilson ·
In a National Review 'Corner' post, Matthew X. Wilson argues that Nancy Mace's gubernatorial collapse was self-inflicted, casting her as a politician who courted controversy for attention. The piece likens her trajectory to that of Marjorie Taylor Greene, whose congressional resignation it references.
In a companion post to National Review's "Goodbye, Nancy Mace" column, staff writer Matthew X. Wilson published "How Nancy Mace Self-Immolated," an opinion piece arguing that Mace's fifth-place primary finish was the predictable end of a career built on courting controversy. National Review's framing holds that Mace, in the magazine's words, "built a reputation on Capitol Hill as someone who would say and do just about anything for attention." The piece situates her story alongside that of Marjorie Taylor Greene, whose resignation from Congress it invokes as a parallel. The characterizations are the columnist's opinion.
"The story of Nancy Mace is merely another variation of the same sequence of events that led to Marjorie Taylor Greene's resignation from Congress in January."
