Nancy Mace Is Making “Mace” Offensive Again
From medieval weapon to pepper spray to political fearmongering.
Nancy Mace has been making the news with her latest attacks on Muslims and Islam. I saw the story on television and in RawStory, but it was Mike Davis’s latest Feed After Midnight post, “The Abdul El-Sayed Racist Attacks Tally,” that got me thinking about her name.
And that was all it took for the cartoonist in my head — with some help from ChatGPT — to get to work.
Mace has three definitions - a name and two things you can use against actual people.
There’s the medieval weapon — and, of course, there’s another kind of Mace — one that sprays its contents rather than swings them.
And that was all it took for the cartoonist in my head — with some help from ChatGPT — to take on this horrible person in today’s Substack.
But there’s no need for me to reinvent the wheel. Others have already done the heavy lifting documenting what Nancy Mace has been saying and why it matters. For example:
The medieval mace was an offensive weapon. Mace spray was designed for defense. Nancy Mace seems determined to make “Mace” offensive again.
Glad she lost her Primary in SC
Hal, thanks for letting me know Rep Mace was still on the planet. Mace for me was an avoided assigned law enforcement "tool". I was retired.
In truth, I never bothered to acknowledge Congresswoman Mace at all.
Good cartoons. Why this person lights up the media, and is taken seriously, with a decidedly negative warning about "burkas", leaves me convinced she needs a meditative session with the Dalia Lama. Hypothetically, of course. Must run. Light Sabre practice with a Jedi Master's AI.
Thanking elliemae for pointing out the primary loss in SC.
