Tim Miller Calls Out Rep. Mace for Shifting Gay Marriage Stance

UPDATE: Former GOP analyst Tim Miller has issued a sharp rebuke of Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) after she made contradictory statements regarding her stance on gay marriage. During a segment of his podcast “Bulwark Takes” on October 25, 2023, Miller highlighted Mace’s recent social media activity that has drawn criticism from various corners, including her own past remarks supporting LGBTQ rights.

Earlier this week, on October 24, 2023, Mace tweeted, “Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve,” a phrase commonly used by conservative factions to undermine gay marriage. This post sparked backlash, prompting a Community Note on X that pointed out her previous votes in favor of protecting gay marriage.

Miller did not hold back in his criticism, stating, “This is a deeply sad woman just looking for attention.” He showcased a montage of Mace’s earlier posts from 2021, where she explicitly stated, “I support LGBTQ rights. Nobody should be discriminated against.” He further cited her assertion that “religious liberty, gay rights, and transgender equality can all coexist.”

As the discourse evolved, Miller noted a shift in Mace’s tone regarding marriage, suggesting that her perspective changed after experiencing personal challenges, including two divorces. “That’s Nancy’s trajectory from ‘Equality for everybody, miss pride, love trans people,’ to ‘Go ahead and get married if you want, gays, it’s miserable,’” he remarked, emphasizing her evolving narrative.

The incident has sparked conversations about authenticity in political positions, particularly within the Republican Party, as Mace grapples with her public image and past statements.

Mace’s statements have ignited a wide range of reactions, from supporters who align with her recent rhetoric to critics who feel her words betray a lack of consistency. As this story develops, the implications for Mace’s political future and the broader GOP stance on LGBTQ issues remain to be seen.
