Raging at a satire account
In November 2025, Rep. Nancy Mace replied furiously, using a slur, to an openly-satirical X post by The Halfway Post (comedian Dash McIntyre) joking that Boebert and Mace had recorded calls with Trump about the Epstein files. Mace did not appear to recognize it as satire. When criticized, she said 'satire accounts are supposed to be funny' and told critics to 'rot in hell.' Snopes rated the underlying claim 'Originated as Satire.'
On November 13, 2025, The Halfway Post, a clearly-labeled satirical X account run by comedian Dash McIntyre, published a joke post claiming White House lawyers were worried that Reps. Lauren Boebert and Nancy Mace had recorded phone calls with President Donald Trump in which he "begged, bribed, threatened, and cried" for them to reverse their votes on releasing the Epstein files. Snopes fact-checked the claim and rated it "Originated as Satire."
Mace replied to the post in the strongest possible terms, apparently not recognizing it as satire. According to reporting by The Daily Beast, her reply used a slur: "This might be the most r******d post I've seen. You people don't give a damn about the Epstein victims." When critics pointed out that The Halfway Post is a well-known parody account, Mace added that "satire accounts are supposed to be funny" and told her critics to "rot in hell." The Daily Beast headlined its coverage: "Nancy Mace Rages at Tweet She Didn't Realize Was Satire."
