Michael B. Moore, a Democrat running for the U.S. House of Representatives in South Carolina’s 1st congressional district, released the following statement today on Rep. Nancy Mace’s response to former President Donald Trump’s fourth criminal indictment:
“Nancy Mace wants you to believe that Donald Trump’s four criminal indictments and 91 felony counts are all politically motivated.
We know that’s not true — and even Fox News isn’t buying it.
In recent months, we’ve grown accustomed to Nancy Mace shrugging off Donald Trump’s wrongdoings and downplaying his attacks on American democracy.
Time and again, Nancy Mace has shown that she is willing to undermine faith in our justice system in order to win Trump’s approval.
But the congresswoman’s refusal to condemn the former president’s actions in Georgia is particularly troubling.
If Nancy Mace won’t support the people’s right to vote in Georgia, she can’t be trusted to protect her constituents’ basic freedoms in South Carolina.
The Lowcountry deserves a representative who will stand up for law and order, defend our justice system, and demand accountability for all Americans — even powerful politicians.”
