GOP Rep. Nancy Mace Calls Former Speaker Kevin McCarthy A ‘Complete Loser’ Who Needs To ‘Get A Job’

In October 2023, former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy was ousted from his position in a vote by eight House Republicans and all Democrats to remove McCarthy.

Among the eight was controversial Rep. Nancy Mace (R-South Carolina). Now, Mace is calling out McCarthy, labelling him a “complete loser” for not reaching out to her before she joined the vote to remove him from the House.

“The former speaker needs a job. I think that’s the problem: He’s bored and doesn’t know what to do with himself,” she told Politico.

Mace says that current House Speaker is Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana) is someone she trusts more than McCarthy. Mace has also been outspoken about the Republican party, going against Donald Trump after the January 6 Capitol storming and the party’s position on abortion. But she recently reversed course and endorsed Trump for president.

In response to the backlash for sharing her views, Mace says she is not doing it for publicity despite what others may think.

“The irony is men can do it,” she said. “But the minute I, a fiscally conservative woman, does it, somehow it’s not the same. I do media interviews like a lot of my male colleagues, but they’re not getting attacked.”

After his removal, McCarthy has called out GOP members for their lack of loyalty.

Mace has faced controversy herself after her office experineced 100% staff turnover with one ex aide calling her “delusional.”
