During a CNN panel discussion, Rep. Nancy Mace faced backlash for her controversial remarks about Vice President Kamala Harris, where she repeatedly mispronounced Harris' name and claimed she would say it 'anyway that I want to.' Mace's comments were labeled as disrespectful by Vanderbilt professor Michael Eric Dyson, who accused her of perpetuating racism, arguing that such disrespect towards Harris reflects a legacy of white disregard for Black individuals. Mace defended her stance, arguing that Harris does not understand womanhood, and attempted to deflect questions regarding Donald Trump's previous racial comments about Harris. Critics have condemned Mace's behavior, with some labeling her as a 'garbage human being' on social media. The heated exchange indicates a growing divide in political discourse, particularly regarding issues of race and gender. Mace's refusal to explicitly condemn Trump's remarks has further fueled criticisms of her alignment with MAGA rhetoric.
