BEAUFORT — For the first time this year, U.S. Rep.
Nancy Mace will hold an in-person town hall in her district. The general public, however, is not invited. The congresswoman representing South Carolina's 1st Congressional district will appear April 23 at an event inside a private, gated community, her office announced.
A spokeswoman for Mace told The Post and Courier that attendance will be restricted to members of the Dataw Island Owners Association. The event is being held from 4 to 6 p.m.
in the Dataw Carolina Room, 98 Dataw Club Road, according to Mace's office. Mace has publicly shown contempt for demands that she hold an in-person town hall in her district. Earlier this year, the Charleston Republican rejected the requests in a 59-second video where she cursed at her constituents and told them to "stop blowing up our lines" with calls for town halls.
More recently, an Easter weekend confrontation with a constituent inside a Mount Pleasant beauty shop went viral. The incident, which both parties recorded on their cell phones and posted to social media, appeared to begin with the man asking Mace when she planned to have an in-person town hall in her district. The exchange soon devolved into Mace telling the man "(expletive) you" and called him "absolutely (expletive) insane," and him calling her profanity-laced insults.
Mace did host an impromptu tele-town hall earlier this month, in which she fielded five questions during the roughly half-hour event..
