Nancy Mace Slams 'Bitter Exes' Burner Account Claims as Political Noise

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., is brushing off accusations that her team used "burner" social media accounts to inflate her online presence, calling the claims a tall tale spun by disgruntled former staffers. In an exclusive interview, Mace dismissed the allegations as lacking substance, likening them to gossip from "bitter exes."

"Anonymous sources? That’s just code for ‘we couldn’t find real evidence,’" Mace told WTFNewsRoom. The allegations, detailed in a recent magazine piece, leaned on unnamed ex-aides and a consultant’s deposition to suggest Mace’s team deployed fake accounts and bots to boost her messaging.

Mace, who leads the House Subcommittee on Cybersecurity, didn’t mince words. "I don’t need a burner account to speak my mind. My name’s on every post, and I stand by every word," she said, emphasizing her commitment to transparency. Known for her unfiltered style, Mace has built a reputation as a fierce advocate for women’s rights, drawing from her own experience as a sexual assault survivor to champion Title IX protections and resources for victims.

The congresswoman also addressed a viral video allegedly showing a stack of burner phones, laughing it off as a distraction. "That’s about as real as a sci-fi plot," she quipped, poking fun at the frenzy with an AI-generated image of herself with two Bernese Mountain dogs, captioned, "Guilty! I do have multiple berners!"

Mace’s tech savvy, a rarity in Congress, shapes her approach to policy. "I get tech—most of Washington doesn’t," she said, referencing her background as a self-taught coder. Her focus includes shielding data, combating cyber threats, and challenging Big Tech censorship. "Writing code teaches you to spot glitches, whether in software or political spin," she added.

Despite the noise, Mace remains focused on her South Carolina constituents, undeterred by what she calls a "smoke-and-mirrors" controversy. As the first woman to graduate from The Citadel and represent Charleston in Congress, she’s no stranger to breaking barriers—or fighting back.
