Nancy Mace cancels town hall due to safety concerns

Rep. Nancy Mace, a Republican from South Carolina, has declined to attend a town hall meeting. The event was set to take place on March 28 and was organized by local officials, including Mt. Pleasant Town Council Mayor Pro Tempore G.M. Whitley. Mace stated on social media that she believes the event is influenced by "left-wing extremists" and accused them of having a specific agenda. She expressed concerns about safety for herself and her family, mentioning threats directed at them. Whitley responded, stating that the community deserves a chance to engage with their representative. She emphasized the importance of open dialogue and accountability during such meetings. Mace is currently exploring a potential run for governor but has not indicated when she might hold a town hall in the future. Recently, many Republican lawmakers have also opted out of town hall meetings following negative reactions to government actions under former President Donald Trump.
