The questions asked were valid. The problem with this interview is there was absolutely no follow up and just allowed her answers to go unchallenged. So she was allowed to gaslight, lie, ignore facts, deny reality and pretend that she works for her district.

Reality is, she knows she will get primaried by a MAGA member, and needs MAGA support. But in the general election, she needs to be moderated to win in a purple district so she talks out both sides of her mouth intentionally for that reason.

Case in point - Republicans and Democrats are responsible for debt in the country and inflation. Yet she voted for the Trump tax cuts that added to the debt and removed the tax income from the wealthy that reduces debt. But that wasn't challenged in her answer.

Says she hasn't seen any evidence in the Trump case. Because running to safety during the insurrection wasn't first hand evidence enough? Sidney Powell took voting because who does it benefit? Who ordered it?

Says money from China has ended up in bank accounts for Biden's grandchildren. Ok.... where is the trail of breadcrumbs showing that is illegal and if so, where is the link to Joe Biden as opposed to Hunter? Because if you're going to go after the criminal acts of a politicians children, then explain why the Trump Foundation was found guilty of fraud, which happened to be run by Trump children.

None of this was challenged in the interview. Charlamagne had a list of questions he needed to get through, in the alloted interview time and didn't press her on answers.

Nancy Mace, "We are $33 trillion dollars in debt."
Nancy, you just made the point for getting rid of trump's taxcuts for the rich.

[shannonenstrom]

the fact that Mace talked about why groceries and gas are so high, and didn't even mention price gouging by industry, tells you all you need to know about Nancy Mace.

[facespaz]

I've seen more than enough of Mace engaging in the same gaslighting nonsense as her fellow MAGA politicians to know I don't want anything to do with her.

[gabriellamar]

I could feel the audience's collective side eye. They were not fooled.

[RobW]

Kudos to the audience for deciding to laugh when she said something ridiculous, instead of boo.

[roberthawksley]

Who gave the rich huge tax breaks Nancy?

[dreadpirates]

Being kicked out of high school and still succeeding and becoming an entertainment icon is an impressive, uplifting, and, dare I say, inspiring story. Dropping out of high school and then being one of the most attention starved members of an extremist offshoot of an extremally right leaning GOP fills me with absolute terror

[teresamason]

I respect that he had her on, but I wish he would push back on her wild assertions.

[boldtaa]

No, she’s exactly the same as the rest of those scumbags.

[eamonwild]

Platforming Nancy Mace like she's not a complete loon? Who's on next? Michelle Bachmann? Steve Bannon?

[AlignmentCoaching]

She’s working hard to remake her image a little here…not a fan. She voted MAGA into the Speakership

[AChickandaDuck]

Wait … did she really say that grocery prices are high because of the national debt? Maybe we should elect people who have a basic grasp of how economics work.

[meganhull]

She votes like a typical Republican 90% of the time. Why is the Daily Show branding her this way?

[PalidineMO]

You gotta challenge the answers with just a single followup logical question afterwards... come on

[Erikajp]

She can't keep a straight face when they're talking about Trump's corruption 😂😂😂 she definitely knows she's just saying a bunch of BS.

[MattSeremet]

That audience reaction as Mace tries to cover her partisanship with the repetition that she's done "a lot of civil rights work" is the best. Mace looking like a sitcom character.

[moffix]

This woman's answer is always - I don't know anything about it or have not read whatever you are saying. Does someone need to hit you upside the head with a book about Santos?

[normlang]

She's 100% right ...she shouldn't be in Congress. It was only possible because of the SC GOP gerrymandered districts. She's only going to last one term because the courts have overruled the district map.

[HermitLady]

Wait, you don’t even need a high school education to help run the country? Explains everything.
