'Stop sending children' to D.C.: Columnist buries 'toddler' Nancy Mace over House tantrum

Reacting to Rep. Nancy Mace's "meltdown" on Wednesday when Hunter Biden showed up and sat in a front-row seat during a nationally-televised House Oversight Committee hearing, Charlotte Observer columnist Isaac Bailey urged voters to consider sending adults to Congress for a change.

In his column. Bailey noted Mace, who was called a "runaway beer truck" on Thursday by MSNBC's Joe Scarborough, had a hard time controlling herself when she spied the president son in the gallery and then pitched a fit when she was challenged by Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL).

In his column, Bailey suggested that "Hunter Biden punked House Republicans without saying a word Wednesday. How do we know? Because Rep. Nancy Mace of Charleston had a meltdown when Biden showed up unannounced at a House Oversight Committee hearing and simply sat quietly in the gallery."

To that, he observed that "Mace is just the latest in a growing number of powerful people acting like toddlers in public when things haven’t gone their way," before adding, "All Biden did was call the bluff of Republicans who have kept up a charade of an “investigation” supposedly to uncover wrongdoing by President Joe Biden. So far, they’ve found literally no evidence the president has done anything illegal or even improper concerning his time as vice president."

Pointing out that Mace spent the afternoon on X ranting about Hunter Biden getting up and leaving after paying her no heed, Bailey wrote that this is not the first "tantrum" thrown by a GOP lawmaker in recent months and then asked, "Aren’t they tired of embarrassing themselves? Aren’t they tired of embarrassing us?"

Twisting the knife further, he added, "At some point, you’d think the public would rather the United States not be a laughingstock and stop sending children to represent us in Washington."
