Former staff at Nancy Mace claims she created a burner account to promote her
South Carolina Republican Rep. Nancy Mace often tells staff that she is a self-taught coder. One aspect of how Mace presents her technical expertise is to form the role of the GOP on technology, serving as chair of the House subcommit on cybersecurity, information technology, and government innovation.
“I think it was at least weekly, if not every day,” says one former MACE staff member who spoke to Wired. Another had somewhat conflicted her high respect for her skills with her demonstrated abilities. (As all staff said, they requested anonymity as they were afraid of retaliation from their former boss.)
According to former staff members, Mace’s unusual use of her skills was setting up burner accounts on various social media platforms to monitor what people were saying about her and to enhance her image. They also claim that staff members requested that they create their own burner accounts to protect her online.
“We created multiple accounts, burner accounts, went to comments and responded, saying things that weren’t true. “We were council staff and there were real things we could do to help our constituents.”
Mace’s communications director Sidney Long wrote in an email: “It’s going to be a slap in the face for taxpayers across the country so that I can spend my time on the (sic) dime to comment on my boss (sic).” “The only relationship that lawmakers care about is their relationship with South Carolina. She’s married to her job, and that’s all the media should care about.” Mace’s office didn’t answer a detailed list of questions about the programming languages she’s skilled in, as well as the type of devices she uses to code.

Recently, Mace showed her own “nude silhouette” during a House Subcommittee hearing on oversight as part of a series of allegations she made against her ex-fiance South Carolina businessman Patrick Bryant. During her speech, she alleged that three other men committed various other crimes, including sexual abuse, sexual trafficking and videotaking sexual activity without consent. Bryant and three other men denied Mace’s charges and did not respond to requests for comment from Wired.
