Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) donned a red “A” on her shirt Tuesday after her vote to oust former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) left her feeling “demonized” on Capitol Hill, she said.
“I’m wearing the scarlet letter after the week that I just had, last week, being a woman up here and being demonized for my vote and for my voice,” Mace told reporters, apparently referencing the 19th century novel in which the protagonist was condemned to wear a red “A” — a “scarlet letter” — after becoming pregnant out of wedlock.
What??

So she’s an adulterer
In her defense, she’s probably only seen the movie “Easy A”…
That movie was better than it had any right to be.
Agreed. It’s pretty good.
A for “attention whore” :P
But honestly: cry more. You’re a member of the Republican Party, Mace. You know who they are and what their agenda is. None of this should be surprising to you.
Also “Amnesia” when she just kind of forgot about Gymbag Jordan’s coverup of molested wrestlers in an interview the other day.
What does she think that means?
Attention
You see, the original scarlet letter was put on some woman just fighting for her freedom in an oppressive society. She was a pioneer of female empowerment in a patriarchal society, just like Mace, who’s being oppressed for exercising her first amendment right to say “no” to functioning government.
Has she tried not being a Republican?
They can keep her.
This will become the new 1984.
By that I mean, a book that Republicans haven’t read but love to reference with what they think it means.
Republican political theater is so transparent
Republican politics, in their entirety, is demonize and disrupt Democrats.
I would never shame a woman for becoming pregnant outside of wedlock. It’s silly. I would instead hope that the woman has legal access to effective birth control methods if they choose to use them, legal and safe access to abortions if they so choose, and I would hope she has access to prenatal care as well as healthcare for her and the baby postpartum. I would also hope the mother and child have available social safety nets that cover their basic needs for life including access to education.

Half the government are older than dirt and the other half are living in an immature fantasy land like they’re back in junior high.
I mean, it’s kind of appropriate? She fucked around and now she’s finding out that the Republican rage cycle eats its own.

Who’d she fuck?
She knows what the red A signifies, right?
Sure. Performances sure beat doing the actual Work.
I, too, daydream about being persecuted despite being influential and wealthy.
Wasn’t this just posted a day or two ago? Same exact article.
Some of the same exact comments too.
She’s got nice boobs. The A gives a convenient cover for staring.
