Nancy Mace social media controversy

Overview

U.S. Representative Nancy Mace drew social media attention following a post from a University of South Carolina football game. The post, which included the caption ‘Go COCKS!’ and the acronym ‘IYKYK’, was interpreted by some as a double entendre in light of Mace’s recent public comments regarding unsolicited explicit messages from men.

Mace later addressed the backlash, stating that the chant used in her post is a standard part of the stadium atmosphere. She also defended her choice of attire at the event. Mace used the controversy to critique her political opponents, claiming she seeks to ‘antagonize the left’ to highlight their reactions. In related commentary, she discussed the ideological shifts within the Democratic Party, arguing it has moved away from the positions of previous leaders.
