So Nancy Mace is an attention hound who shows little interest in working for her constituents, and spends most of her efforts trying to get TV time -- which is why, every time you turn on your teevee, there she is. Via the Daily Beast:
One former senior aide to Mace recalled asking themselves one question more and more during their tenure in her office: “Are we in a PR firm, or working for a member of Congress?”
The office’s staff handbook, which two aides said was also written by Mace herself, demonstrates the boss’s relentless focus on PR and media—along with her grueling expectations for staff.
In the document, the responsibilities and expected deliverables listed for the position of communications director are extensive; the person is expected to send out at least one press release per day, for example, a frequency rarely seen on Capitol Hill.
Beyond drafting press releases, website posts, and tweets, staffers on the communications team were told they needed to book Mace on a national TV outlet between one and three times per day—a staggering nine times per week, at a minimum, according to former staffers who had seen past handbooks—and on local TV channels at least six times per week.
There she is, again. But she's really more of a clown. Even the lazier cable news anchors get notably annoyed and push back on her absurdities.
According to this story, she's immersed herself in data and corporate doublespeak. So much work for such little quality. Like her appearance on The Daily Show, where she says her station is a testament to "hard work."
But Mace's district was hand-drawn by Republicans to hand her the seat, so there you go. Oh, and she lies. Constantly. Remember that time she claimed that her home was vandalized -- in her own handwriting?
